Chapter 529 I have also thought about this day
Liu Mingzhi was a little embarrassed when he heard Qi Ya's teasing, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Intuitively speaking, he doesn't really feel close to his grandfather.
After all, I haven't even met him in person, so if he was close to me, it would be a ghost.
But Liu Mingzhi had no choice. He didn't go to Donghai to visit his family this year, and he couldn't see his grandfather at all.
"Sister, forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Since it is the house compensated to you, it is your home and it is up to you. Why do you want to replace it with a plaque without words?"
"Why don't we use a plaque without words? Lu Mansion? Or Qi Mansion? Or maybe the three words Sangmenxing?"
"That's true!"
Liu Mingzhi suddenly realized that he had chatted to death. Qi Ya must have had her own thoughts on why she had to mention these past events.
"Wait a minute, I'll turn on the lights in the courtyard. It's too dark and really depressing."
"Ah? You can go alone. Are there no servants in the house?"
Only then did Liu Mingzhi realize that apart from himself and Qi Ya, there was no one in the house, not even a maid or servant.
No wonder it looks so desolate and deserted.
"Who dares to serve a mourning star? In fact, it's good to be free and unfettered. If you get tired of it, you can go back to your father's house for a while and come back when you want. It's inconvenient to have a servant here."
"Aren't you scared? This huge house is deserted. Don't you think it's too desolate to live alone? It's not popular at all."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the empty house and couldn't imagine what it would be like to live alone in such a place.
If you put it on yourself, sooner or later you will be mentally depressed and you will go crazy.
Qi Ya looked a little sad: "Afraid, how can I not be afraid, but what can I do if I am afraid, I still have to live with it, but now I am slowly getting used to it, and I don't think it's a big deal anymore. As long as your heart is magnanimous, there is nothing like the pure land of the world!" "
"You live an open-minded life."
"It's just that I have no choice but to be open-minded. There's nothing wrong with being open-minded."
Qi Ya smiled to herself.
"It's better for me to hold the lamp, and you tell me the place!"
"That's fine!"
Qi Ya did not politely reject Liu Mingzhi's suggestion, but directly led Liu Mingzhi to wander around.
Liu Mingzhi held up the bamboo pole in his hand and hung the lanterns one by one under the eaves. After drinking tea, the courtyard became brighter.
Without that eerie feeling, it is no different from a normal person's yard.
"Wipe the sweat!"
"Thanks."
Looking at the handkerchief Qi Ya handed over, Liu Mingzhi did not hesitate and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Dozens of lanterns were not an easy project.
Liu Mingzhi was stunned as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
I don’t know when, the cold and desolate courtyard became bright and bright.
Not only is it bright, it is simply beautiful, as if it is a fairyland on earth, which makes people fascinated.
It felt like the gloomy gauze before was falling from the sky to earth like galaxies under the light of the lights.
Liu Mingzhi also saw the rustling things in their true form in Lushan. They turned out to be light gauze surrounded by many slowly rotating windmills, colorful and dizzying.
Under the four or five osmanthus trees in the courtyard, there are paper cranes flying gently everywhere. It is a perfect match with the gauze to set off each other.
It turns out that Qi Ya really didn't lie, and the house in front of her was indeed refreshing.
It's just that it seems unlucky to plant this sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the courtyard.
Liu Mingzhi didn't care much. Although he scorned some things after experiencing all kinds of things in later generations, the ancients planted osmanthus at home, which meant an ominous sign.
There are osmanthus trees in the house, and ghosts are still there outside the courtyard.
"Sister, this sweet-scented osmanthus is planted at home......"
"There's nothing else to be afraid of in Sangmen Star."
Qi Ya naturally knew the taboo of growing sweet-scented osmanthus at home, but she turned around and left without caring.
She seemed to have really reached the point where her heart was at peace, and she didn't care about anything as long as she lived a comfortable life.
Liu Mingzhi followed him wordlessly. Qi Ya's indifferent mood was more modern than his own. Sometimes when facing Qi Ya, he couldn't help but doubt whether he was from a later generation or whether Qi Ya was from a later generation. of.
I really can't keep up with the rhythm.
"You sit down for a while and I'll get some medicinal wine."
"good!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the ordinary carpet in the pavilion and knelt down gently. There was not even a stone table or bench. It was really informal.
There is a low-looking wooden table on the carpet. On top of the wooden table is a fine incense burner, and next to it is an object covered with silk cloth.
Liu Mingzhi looked at it and thought it was either a guzheng or a musical instrument like the guqin.
"This is how people live. They don't have to work hard, tune the piano, and have enough food and clothing. I call you pitiful, but you live a life that countless people yearn for."
She has a house of her own, and her father is an official in the court. The food she eats does not cost much money at all. It is not an exaggeration to say that she has no worries about food and clothing. She does not need a husband to teach her children. When she is free, she goes out to play with paper kites and goes for an outing. When she is tired, she comes back. Sit on the floor and brew a cup of fragrant tea.
Watch the flowers blossom and fall indifferently, watch the clouds roll and relax with a smile.
Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly. He was obviously the best among others, but why did he fall behind compared with Zhu Run and Qi Ya?
Eating, drinking, waiting to die, and having a group of wives and concubines is the life I want to live, but when did I become so hardworking?
This is completely contrary to my ambition.
I have to get up on the fourth day of the day to prepare for court, and I can't go home until noon. I also have to deal with the calculations among my colleagues. It's very tiring no matter how you look at it.
"This is not the way I want to live. How could I live like this?"
Liu Mingzhi pulled his hair and was speechless. The expectations and plans were perfect, but which link went wrong?
"Awaited!"
Liu Mingzhi came back to his senses and saw Qi Ya walking over with a large tray, with bright candles burning on it, which immediately illuminated the pavilion. Only then did Liu Mingzhi realize that the pavilion was also surrounded by veils. , but it’s so thin that it’s almost unnoticeable.
Qi Ya lay down gently on the carpet: "There are no outsiders, so don't put on airs. Aren't you tired of living? Wherever it hurts, I will give you medicine."
When Qi Ya opened her mouth, Liu Mingzhi became even more confused. Yes, how could he be so tired from living?
The bird was shocked.
"Where does it hurt?"
"The corners of the mouth, the corners of the eyes!"
Qi Ya took out a thin stick that was used to hold silk and dipped it in some medicinal wine: "Don't you feel any pain?"
The corners of Liu Mingzhi's mouth twitched. Sister, if you say this, you can't continue the conversation.
Don’t you know that people can’t tear themselves down even if they are in difficulty? Where can I get the gift of knowledge as promised? Is your sentence really heartbreaking?
Qi Ya applied the medicinal wine on Liu Mingzhi's wound. Seeing his pain, his expression changed and she became cautious.
The burning pain at first gradually became cool, and Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief. The medicinal wine was quite strong. Apart from the cool feeling, he didn't feel any pain at all.
Click...
There was a crack of thunder, and then lightning lit up the dark night.
Both of them were startled, and Qi Ya even touched the wound with a trembling hand, causing Young Master Liu to cry out in pain.
After the pain gradually disappeared, Liu Mingzhi looked up at the moonless night sky and remembered what Qi Ya had said before: "The weather is really going to change. It looks like there will be a heavy rain."
Qi Ya got up and walked outside the pavilion and looked up at the night sky: "There will definitely be heavy thunder and raindrops. Fortunately, the wind is light and it won't be stormy."
"You also understand celestial phenomena? That's amazing."
"It's just that I've seen it too much. There's nothing to make a fuss about. Do you want to drink?"
"What kind of wine? Are there any dishes?"
"Stuffed with peach blossoms, the dishes should be here soon."
"What do you mean..."
Before Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, there was a heavy knock on the door. Qi Ya stood up again and said, "Here comes the food. You should be able to eat the food sent by Feng Heju. I will get it."
Looking at Qi Ya's back, Young Master Liu felt even more sad, and his life was quite satisfying.
After a while, Qi Ya came over with a food box, sat down again, opened the food box and took out four exquisite plates. The plates contained exquisite meals, two meat and two vegetables, well matched.
Qi Ya gently laid out the food and said softly: "Sometimes I'm too lazy to cook, so I'll go to Fengheju in advance to say hello and ask them to deliver food. I'll order some today with Paper Kite."
Mr. Liu rubbed his belly and swallowed his saliva while looking at the four delicious and delicious dishes: "Don't mention it, I'm really hungry. I can't tell you that your life is more comfortable than the emperor's. I'm jealous of you." Got it!"
"There's no good wine, just the peach blossom wine I brewed myself. Do you want to drink it? If not, I'll get you some tea!"
"You brewed it yourself? You must have two glasses of it, at least you can drink it with confidence!"
Qi Ya nodded lightly, took down a medium-sized jar containing about two kilograms of wine from the tray just now, removed the mud seal on it and poured a glass of wine for Young Master Liu: "I've been saving it for five years, but I don't want it anymore. I know if it suits your taste, and there is no other wine at home, so you can make do with it."
As the wine enters the glass, a rich peach blossom aroma fills the air. There is a strong aroma of wine and a sweet honey taste. Although it is light, you can smell it.
Liu Mingzhi took a deep breath. The taste of this wine was not much better than that of Thousand Miles of Splendor. It even surpassed the taste of Thousand Miles of Splendor in some aspects.
Liu Mingzhi couldn't wait to pick up the wine glass before he even finished the food, put it under his nose and took a sniff: "It's really a good wine."
Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes after taking a gentle sip. It was mellow, sweet, smooth, and fragrant, with a hint of bitterness that made the taste of the wine increase rather than decrease, taking it to the next level.
"The peach blossoms used to make wine must be from abundant water sources and have just been moistened by rain in sunny areas. Where did you find so many peach blossoms that are only the best in a hundred?"
Qi Ya was startled, her face turned red unnaturally, and she said in a deep voice: "I grew it myself, you have seen it before!"
"Cough cough cough..."
Liu Mingzhi groaned and coughed, almost choking on his drink and crying.
Looking at the nodding and blushing Qi Ya across from her, her face was twitching, and she really wanted to slap herself.
It really means which pot is not opened and which pot is picked up.
Liu Mingzhi gently put down the wine glass and laughed twice: "Sister, whether you believe it or not, I want to explain that I really didn't deliberately peek at you bathing that time, I just wanted to steal two peaches to eat. I didn’t even know that there would be people bathing in the peach forest. As a result, I couldn’t eat the peach but was frightened by a group of dogs and ran away. My shoes were all gone. I was wronged.”
Qi Ya's face gradually returned to normal: "I understand, your maid Ying'er has told me everything. If you did it intentionally, do you think you can still drink here safely?"
"That's good, that's good. Sister, just don't think too much about it. I'm afraid you'll have knots in your heart. I can guarantee that I didn't see anything. It's not like that time when you changed clothes at my house... ....”
Damn it!
Liu Mingzhi slapped his forehead, wondering what on earth this young master was talking about.
Chatting like this will kill people, okay?
"You bastard, I'm going to kill you. You're not good enough, but you still dare to provoke Ya'er. If I don't kill you today, I'll change your name and surname to Liu!"
"It's impossible, it's impossible, how could my father-in-law be such a person."
After hearing what Mr. Liu was talking to himself, Qi Ya didn't know what she thought of, and her face turned crimson.
Liu Mingzhi made up his mind to just concentrate on drinking and eating. If he continued talking, he would collapse.
After getting himself a cup of peach blossom stuffed wine, Young Master Liu started to drink by himself while eating the food to go with the wine.
Liu Mingzhi really fell in love with the taste of peach blossom stuffed wine. He had never drunk such a comfortable drink in his previous life.
Not to mention the various blended drinks of later generations, the various aged wines in Liu Mansion in this life are all rare fine wines, but none of them taste more appetizing than Peach Blossom Brew.
"Sister, you should eat too. Wouldn't it be a loss if you don't eat the food and wine you ordered?"
"good."
After Qi Ya nodded, she chewed slowly and tasted the food and wine in front of her. She was many times more polite than Mr. Liu who devoured it.
A true noblewoman and a lady are just like this when compared to the reincarnation of a starving ghost.
"Sister, don't you drink? The peach blossom wine you make tastes better than the royal wine in the palace. After drinking this time, I don't know where to find such a delicious wine."
Hearing this, Qi Ya poured herself a glass and signaled to Young Master Liu, covered her face with her sleeves and pecked her gently before putting down the glass.
"Although I like making wine, I'm not good at drinking. I've been preparing a little bit every year when I'm bored. All in all, there are thousands of jars of peach blossom wine in the warehouse. They are all well preserved. You can come anytime if you want to drink it, as long as you are not afraid of the desolation here. Just the atmosphere.”
Liu Mingzhi put down his wine glass and looked delighted: "Really? Then I won't be polite. I'll drink up all your peach blossom wine then, so don't feel bad!"
"What's so distressing? If you don't drink it, it will probably be piled up in the warehouse and never see the light of day. It's like a pearl covered in dust. It would be a pity if you worked so hard to brew the wine and don't drink it anymore!"
"If you don't object, I don't have a problem. Your peach blossom stuffed wine is so delicious, why do people come to you to buy wine for you to drink? Those drunkards can't control the taste of peach blossom stuffed stuff, and they have to destroy your home! "
"You are the first person to enter this house besides me after I settle down! Who else will come here to look for wine?"
Liu Mingzhi didn't know how many times Qi Ya had shown such a lonely look.
I was speechless for a moment.
Liu Mingzhi was helpless, not knowing that those words would touch Qi Ya's sad past. It felt awkward to keep drinking without saying anything, and it was even more embarrassing to keep chatting and maybe touch the restricted area.
God I'm so hard.
"Sister, I really can't speak, don't be surprised."
Qi Ya shook her head calmly: "Don't worry, if you say it's true, you should take everything to heart. I would have been furious to death."
"Open-minded, just be open-minded. I admire your character, eldest sister. Ordinary people don't have this tolerance."
The two of them had had enough wine and dinner while chatting, Qi Ya consciously cleaned up the mess, and the pavilion became clean and tidy again.
Hua Hua Hua...
As soon as Qi Ya closed the food box, heavy rain poured down without warning.
There was the sound of raindrops falling all around.
"It's raining. I have to go back quickly. It's time for my wife to worry."
"That's fine, be careful on the road!"
"Thank you for your hospitality, eldest sister. Please give me an umbrella. Otherwise, you will have to catch the cold if you go back like this."
I don’t know how the pavilion was designed and built. It was raining heavily outside, but no rainwater splashed into the pavilion. However, Liu Mingzhi did not dare to hike back under such heavy rain.
The wound had just been smeared with medicinal wine and it accidentally became infected.
Qi Yafeng looked up at Liu Mingzhi and shook her head slightly: "I don't have an umbrella, and I'm not prepared. I never go out when it rains. I just listen to the rain in the pavilion."
"No umbrella? You won't let me go back in the rain, three streets!"
Qi Ya's face remained calm: "If you don't want to get wet, just stay here for the night!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Qi Ya, who was still in the dark, in disbelief: "Sister, do you still want your reputation? Although we are a family, is it really good for a man and a woman to stay together? What if it gets spread? If you say something unpleasant, your face will be completely wiped out!"
Liu Mingzhi felt helpless when he looked at Qi Ya. There was simply no one left. You, a lady from a wealthy family, let a man stay at home. I wonder if some scandal spread, would you be drowned in saliva?
Liu Mingzhi had to admit that sometimes some things were unfair to women, especially in the ancient era of ethical ethics.
When a man visits a brothel and is said to be suave, not only will he not be insulted, but he will be praised.
This is something Liu Mingzhi knows personally.
Let’s not talk about those who are far away, let’s talk about those who are nearby. The old man, his uncle Song Yu, and his father-in-law Qi Run have all met in a brothel to drink wine together.
It is conceivable that at this age, when one is still young and old-minded, he is even worse than Young Master Liu before his rebirth.
At least when the old man came to Beijing, he and Song Yu exposed each other's romantic affairs in their youth. Young Master Liu, who was later generations, was dumbfounded when he heard this, and had to sigh that the old man was really good at playing when he was young.
To sum up in one sentence, if a man in Dalong does not go to a brothel to have fun with prostitutes, not only will he not be praised by others, but he will be considered to be incompetent.
It's such a weird thing. The key is that such a fine tradition has been lost. It is really a pity.
On the other hand, if a woman has even the slightest bit of gossip, she is a licentious person. Regardless of whether such behavior occurs in a remote place, as long as it is spread, the woman will be put into a pig cage for the sake of face.
Only when you are speechless can you truly understand what it means to be afraid of people's words.
Bad words hurt people. June is cold, and people's words are as cold and sharp as a sword.
It was precisely because of this that Liu Mingzhi's reaction to Qi Ya was incredible.
Sister, are you a little flustered? Your expression of indifference is a bit too much!
Qi Ya looked up at the astonished Liu Mingzhi: "Is there any rumor more cruel than Sangmenxing? Whether you leave or stay is entirely up to you. If I don't force you to stay or expel the guest, it would be wrong!"
"That's right, you're right. It's all the moon's fault. Who made it not come out today?"
Liu Mingzhi sat down with a sigh. Looking at the pouring rain outside, he could only lament the unpredictable nature of the sky. The sun was still shining in the morning, but it was pouring in the evening.
He changed his face a little too quickly.
Qi Ya took out a plate of sandalwood from somewhere and lit it against the candle. Suddenly, purple smoke curled up and filled the air with a calming smell.
As Qi Ya said just now, there will be heavy rain but there will not be wind and rain.
The heavy rain was hitting the roof and the top of the pavilion. Only a few water droplets splashed onto the high steps of the pavilion. It was really strange.
The fragrance spread and the smell of sandalwood made Liu Mingzhi's depressed heart calm down.
Well, you don’t care, what else can I say? Besides, it’s a mansion that looks like a ghost mansion. It’s hard to say whether you come or not, so naturally no rumors will spread.
Besides, I haven’t done anything, so if I can live up to my conscience, what else is there to say?
"It's boring anyway, let me play music for you!"
"Okay, as long as you don't feel tired, I don't care. I love you as much as you want!"
"Qin, se, pipa, guzheng, flute and flute, which instrument do you want to listen to?"
Liu Mingzhi was stunned. Looking at Qi Ya's indifferent expression, he really didn't realize that the person in front of him was so versatile. He was proficient in playing the piano, the pipa, the guzheng, the flute and the flute.
Liu Mingzhi calmly did not think that what Qi Ya said was a joke.
Since she dares to speak out, she must be sure of herself, and she is playing quite well, otherwise she would not be confident.
Liu Mingzhi pondered for a while and said softly: "The guqin is too formal, the harp is too traditional, I don't know the pipa, and the guzheng is a bit rigid, so let's go with the flute or the dongxiao. Hearing the broken willows in this nocturne, who can't feel the nostalgia of his hometown? Only Only the flute and flute have this charm."
"When I hear the willow trees breaking in this nocturne, who can't forget the love of my hometown?"
Qi Ya murmured this poem, turned sideways and took out a simple wooden box from under the low table, carefully opened the lid and took out an item wrapped in silk.
"Heming is the name of this dongxiao. Since you are not picky, I will play the flute for you. What kind of music do you want to hear?"
"Let's be cheerful."
"good."
My wife is the best in the world
