At the thought of the bizarre banquets in the suburbs, Jia Lian secretly complained:
This Mr. Shi is a little weird. Could it be that he is really a fox fairy?
But the fox fairy who dares to wander back and forth in the busy city in broad daylight must be at the level of a white lady.
Jia Lian hurriedly returned the gift, caught up and said with a smile:
"Brother Shi, how are you? We had a quick farewell last time, which was quite a bit like 'the song ends and no one is seen, but the peaks on the river are green'."
Mr. Shi's face as white as jade showed a hint of shame, and then he smiled again:
"That day, I really had some unavoidable difficulties, and I was always uneasy. Today, I prepared some water and wine under the house as an apology, and I hope Brother Jia will appreciate it."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture.
Jia Lian thought to himself: Just go, I have to find out who you are this time.
So he smiled and said:
"I'm too lazy to say the polite words of 'Nao Nao Nao', so it's better to just say 'I don't want it' because it doesn't go against my will."
"This man is so contemptuous of others!" Shiguyu's silver bell-like voice often has the effect of a thunderbolt from the blue, "My brother invites you, and you say 'I can't ask for it'; when I ask you, you say 'I have something to do today.
’, is there anyone out there who is like you?
This is a typical "little fairy" who is spoiled by the "brother group" and feels that everyone in the world has the obligation to be her licking dog.
Jia Lian didn't even bother to cover up and smiled contemptuously:
"It's because you have such a bad character, I just don't want to give you face."
"Bah, bah, bah! You deserve to give Mr. Zhuyu face!
If you, Mr. Juyu, hadn’t done it for the sake of my brother..."
"Zu Yu! Shut up!" Mr. Shi stopped Zhu Yu who was jumping in anger and smiled apologetically at Jia Lian, "My sister-in-law is rude, I made brother Jia laugh."
Are you kidding me? How about setting up a Buddhist altar at home for a girl like this who is rude every time she sees her? Taking her out without a good education would be a disgrace to eight generations of ancestors.
Jia Lian smiled but said nothing.
This was already the greatest courtesy from Jia Lian, and he really couldn't say any polite words against his will.
.
Mr. Shi also noticed Jia Lian's displeasure with his sister, but he said nothing.
He came here specifically to have a "chance encounter" with Jia Lian today because he wanted to talk to Jia Lian about business matters and not to cause any complications due to dogwood.
Mr. Shi told Juyu: "Lead the way ahead." In fact, he was supporting her in front and not asking her to speak.
Seeing Mr. Shi's slightly drooped corners of his mouth, Juyu didn't dare to make any more trouble, so he rode ahead obediently, leading Jia Lian all the way to Chengxian Street.
Since coming to the Red Mansion World, Jia Lian has not been to this street yet. He only saw rows of locust trees on both sides of the street, which is a slight "boulevard" on ordinary streets in the capital.
Although it is still a loess road, it is obviously cleaned every day. It seems that the people in charge of the "Street Division" are particularly attentive here.
Jia Lian was looking around when Zhuyu and Mr. Shi suddenly dismounted their horses at the same time and led their horses away.
Jia Lian thought he was almost there, so he dismounted and followed him.
After walking a hundred steps forward, I saw the three words "Xianshimen" written on the plaque of the majestic gate on the left side of the road, and then I realized that this was the Confucius Temple.
Ah, it turns out that Master Shi respected Confucius so much that he had to dismount from his horse when passing through the gate of the Confucius Temple.
After passing the Confucius Temple, Mr. Shi stopped mounting his horse and walked past the Imperial College, then turned into an alley next to it.
The alley is straight and clean. Although the gates of the houses in the alley are not tall and have different styles, they are all neatly built and painted.
Jia Lian followed Master Shi as he walked deeper into the alley. Looking left and right, he saw that there were couplets engraved on the doors of these courtyard gates in different fonts, but they all obviously had good calligraphy skills.
There are old-fashioned but approachable sayings such as "Loyalty lasts for a long time, poems and books will last for a long time", and "Honesty and virtue are rich for a long time."
There are also "Deyi Yuan Hong, Lu Lu Sui Hou" or "Fu Tianji Fu, the world's sea mirror is clear" which made Jia Lian find it difficult to read.
There are also flattering words such as "Moisturize your body and think about Confucianism, and admire Yao and Heaven for your virtues" and "Be loyal to your homeland, forgive the Tao and worship the sages".
There are also such self-bragging words as "the general's rank is flying with pen flowers, and the prime minister's house is full of locust trees", and "the elegance of the article captures the beauty of the mountains and rivers, and the beauty is worth the sun and the moon".
Jia Lian looked all the way down to the innermost house. Just when Jia Lian saw clearly that the couplet on the door was simple and easy to understand, "Doing good is the most joyful, reading is good." Then a child in green clothes opened the door from the inside. p>
What Jia Lian didn't expect was that it was not the boy who came to lead the horse, but Dogwood.
She came up and took the horses from Shi and Jia, then led them away.
When Jia Lian hesitated, Juyu snorted angrily:
"Are you still afraid that I will steal your horse?"
Before Jia Lian could say anything, Zhaoye Snow Lion was already so excited that he came close to Juyu.
Jia Lian reluctantly handed the reins to Juyu, endured it, and finally said:
"You are not allowed to hit it, it is mine now."
Cornel gave Jia Lian a hard look: "I won't beat it, I'll poison it to death!"
Jia Lian grabbed the horse's reins.
Mr. Shi said to Dogwood:
"If you keep fooling around, don't go anywhere!"
Juyu then flattened her mouth, took out the horse's reins from Jia Lian's hand, pulled the three horses, and walked towards the entrance of the alley.
.
Master Shi asked Jia Lian to come to the hospital.
The courtyard is not big, and at first glance, it is plain and unremarkable. It is just a place for scholars from a well-off family to enjoy themselves.
If you must find something special, it would be cleanliness.
Not to mention how bright and clean the windows are, even the square tile floor in the house has been swept so that it can be seen clearly.
I understand, Mr. Shi has mysophobia.
Shi and Jia entered the main room, took their seats, drank tea, and chatted about the scenery of the capital.
Seeing the boy setting up wine and food on the table nearby, Mr. Shi smiled and invited Jia Lian to sit down:
"The wine I prepared is not as good as Brother Jia's wine, but since it's my treat, I have to make do with it."
Jia Lian smiled and said:
"I have to thank Mr. Shi for the wine.
Nowadays, the demand for the 'Potan Incense' exceeds supply in the market. If I want to drink it, I have to go to the Shao Guo Restaurant to reserve it in advance."
"Since business is so good, why not expand the pot?"
Jia Lian smiled:
"That's what I mean. But nothing can be rushed. Haste makes waste."
Mr. Shi picked up the black silver plum blossom self-pouring pot in front of him and filled himself up in the black silver plum blossom cup:
"It's just you and me, we pour and drink by ourselves, just so we can talk freely."
When Jia Lian saw him, he poured himself a glass of wine:
"Since Brother Shi invited me here, it's a pity that I still don't know who Brother Shi is. I have unanswered questions and it's not easy to feel comfortable."
I have endured this long, and if I don’t ask who he is anymore, God will not tolerate it.
What Jia Lian didn't expect was that Mr. Shi raised his glass calmly:
"It's not that I deliberately hid it from Brother Jia, it's just that my identity is a bit embarrassing.
Since you ask, tell the truth, so that Brother Jia won’t always have doubts in his mind.”
He raised his head and drank a glass of wine, smiled and said:
"I am a descendant of the current emperor, but my mother's surname is Shi. Three years after I was born, the jade certificates and records were all destroyed.
My current identity is that of Chief Yingfeng of the ‘Chaofeng Division’.”
Chaofengsi?
Always facing the wind?
In "Journey to the West", there is a "little Zhuan Feng", and then Sun Hou becomes a "chief Zhuan Feng". Are you related?
