While enjoying the performance on the balcony, the three of them drank tea brewed by Li Ye. Hua Luoyu took two boxes of peach blossom cakes, opened them, and placed them on a plate on the table.
Looking at Li Ye, he smiled and said, "I know that your Mu Mu likes to eat peach cakes the most. A few days ago, sister Li Hongxiu brought her here to play with two little kids behind her.
Li Ye reached out and picked up a piece of pastry and said with a smile, "One of those little brats is my sister Xiaoxue."
After saying that, he put the peach blossom cake into his mouth and tasted it carefully. After running all this time, I finally got a little hungry.
Nalan Yu also grabbed two pieces and stuffed them into his mouth, while saying vaguely: "Get some more snacks to eat. I ran all the way back and I'm starving to death."
"Did you two just come back?" Hua Luoyu was a little surprised. Only then did Li Ye remember that he was still wearing a cloak, so he stood up, took off his black cloak, and placed it on Yidi's chair.
When Nalan Yu saw Li Ye taking it off, he also stood up and took off his cloak.
"As soon as my two brothers arrived at the gate of the imperial city, they heard from the guard that you were hosting this party. My brothers didn't even return home and hurried over. Isn't this interesting?"
Nalanyu murmured while eating.
Hua Luoyu looked at Li Ye, who was wearing white linen monk robes and mango shoes, and couldn't help but sigh.
"In that case, Luo Yu is really lucky to have met you before my husband, your family, and my sister."
Li Ye smiled and replied, "I'm also very happy to see Sister Luoyu."
"Do you want me to call my sister over?" Hua Luoyu asked after thinking about it.
"No! Don't ask her to come over. That annoying guy might come and cause trouble later. My brother will just sit in the meeting and drink a few cups of tea before leaving. We'll talk another day." Nalan Yu frowned as he looked at it. reply
If you ask the two of them who they least want to see at this moment, it would naturally be the second prince and others.
Upon hearing this, Nalanyu firmly refused. He didn't want to look at some people's faces when he was happy.
"In that case, I will chat with you two, and I will invite you over with my sister another day."
Hua Luoyu naturally understood the many conveniences in front of her. When she saw Nalan Yu's refusal, she stopped insisting.
"Since Sister Luoyu has met my sister, I wonder if she has grown taller? Where is Mumu? I haven't seen her in three years."
Li Ye poured hot tea into the cups of the three of them and watched the flowers fall and rain with a smile.
Hua Luoyu smiled when he heard this and said, "Your sister is also very well-behaved, not like that little overlord Mu Mu. By the way, both of them have grown taller and more beautiful, and Mu Mu has grown into a little beauty."
Li Ye nodded. In a blink of an eye, Mu Mu was thirteen years old, and she naturally grew into a little beauty.
"When you came back from Prajna Temple, didn't you bring some gifts for us, sister?" Hua Luoyu joked.
Li Ye was stunned, glanced at Nalan Yu, and said with a wry smile: "Practice in this mountain is pure and miserable. I just went to the Buddhist capital with Brother Nalan before I left. Is there anything good that you, sister, can see? ?”
"The most I can do is bring some dried meat and mushrooms from the mountains. If you like it one day, I'll come here to cook you and Master Hua a hot pot. It can be considered a gift."
How could Li Ye, who was devoted to cultivation, think of such a thing? Even when he went to see the young lady at the Royal Academy, he didn't bring anything with him.
Nalan Yu glanced at Li Ye, looked at Hua Luoyu and said with a smile, "My brother has been practicing in the mountains for several years and is considered a half-monk. How can you, a worldly person, ask for gifts from a monk?"
After giving Nalan Yu a scolding, Hua Luoyu also came back to her senses.
He looked at Li Ye distressedly and said: "I was just chatting, but I forgot about you practicing in Prajna Temple. It's really my sister's fault. Someday I will go to my sister's place to steal some good wine, and we will have another drink. I am I remember that time my brother asked shopkeeper Nalan to carry him back to the inn."
While the three of them were chatting happily, they saw a burst of applause from the pavilions around the garden. It turned out that Linghu Shanshan, the granddaughter of Linghu Kuangyu, was competing with Zhuge Tianhong, the granddaughter of Zhuge Yuanqiu, the internal minister, in the stands on the second floor.
Li Ye's position was blocked by the branches of the garden and he couldn't see clearly. He could only hear bursts of cheers from the audience.
It turned out that both of them were sixteen or seventeen years old, and they did not use weapons. They only used fists and kicks to entertain them. Even if they were defeated, they would not be able to harm their harmony.
Li Ye looked at Hua Luoyu and nodded in approval, and then said: "I like this kind of competition. It's not a matter of life and death, so there is no need to use a knife or a gun."
Nalan Yu looked at Hua Luoyu's surprised expression and said with a big grin: "My brother is from the Buddhist sect. He is naturally compassionate. It would be best if we can compete without hurting our friendship."
Hua Luoyu nodded and said, "It's rare for brother Li Ye to think so thoughtfully. If the group of people sitting in the Accord knew about it, they would be ashamed to death."
Li Ye smiled and said, "Don't praise me. I just said it. Don't let the people outside know about it. You won't let me go until you curse me to death."
While he was talking, the contest on the balcony had ended, and it was unknown which girl from the family had won.
Li Ye picked up the tea cup and blew gently. Just as he was about to put it to his mouth, he heard the sound of a flute.
Nalan Yu also stopped talking, stood up, and looked up at the distant balcony.
Just listen to the unique rhythm of this bamboo flute floating in the flowers and the sky with snowflakes, like a spring breeze, elegant and light, and like a bright moon, quiet and distant.
More like the stream on the mountain that day, gentle and clear, singing softly...
Li Ye, who held his chin up and listened attentively, couldn't help but be stunned.
He blurted out: "This song can only be heard in heaven, and it is rare to hear it more than once in the world!"
...
With less than half a stick of incense, I could only hear the sound of the flute gradually becoming softer and quieter, just like a fishing boat sleeping on the shore, becoming calmer and distant.
Nalan Yu nodded and said: "Good voice, good tune!"
Hua Luoyu looked at the expressions of the two of them and smiled.
He said: "This is the youngest daughter of General Wei Xian, named Wei Qingyu. I will introduce you two to her someday. She is a talented woman. I wonder if she will pay attention to you two savages."
Nalanyu stiffened his neck when he heard this and said, "I still don't like her!"
"I know you only have sister in your eyes, okay, I'll talk to sister later." Hua Luoyu said with a smile.
She also understood in her heart, but even though the two parties were currently hostile, it would not affect the relationship between Nalan Yu and Cha Tianxia.
Li Ye looked at him and shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Just look at the scenery from a distance, don't hug it! There is a saying in Buddhism, if you see it, you own it."
Nalanyu turned his head and looked at him, as if he was in a new world.
After a long while, he said: "I said you are serious? Don't you want to get to know the talented woman in this imperial city?"
Hua Luoyu also looked at Li Ye with disbelief.
Li Ye looked at the embarrassment of the two of them, sighed softly and said, "Brother Nalan, I think your brain is burned out and you have forgotten what we are about to face now."
Nalan Yu came back to his senses and nodded thoughtfully.
He said seriously: "That's true. I almost forgot about the business. So, if you want to invite Li Ye to dinner, you have to hurry up. Otherwise, I'm afraid it won't be your turn in two days."
"I'm talking to myself. Why can't it be my turn? Tell my sister quickly!" Hua Luoyu stared at Yiyoufengyan and looked at Li Ye.
Li Ye rolled his eyes at Nalan Yu and thought to himself, how can you talk nonsense about this?
Seeing Li Ye looking at him with disgust, Nalan Yu chuckled: "This is not a mysterious thing, but I can't tell you right now. Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest, I will naturally know based on the news about your flowers. "
Hua Luoyu looked at the expressions of Li Ye and Nalan Yu and knew that there would be no result if she continued to ask.
Smiling faintly: "So I will wait and see if there is anyone else in the five realms that my sister cannot invite."
Nalan Yu was stunned, thinking, is this girl serious?
Li Ye lowered his head, thinking that his elder brother was too capable.
Just when the three of them felt uninterested, there was another burst of applause from below. It turned out that someone was performing calligraphy on it, and with a few strokes, a group of spectators clapped their hands and said hello.
After a while, there were two people walking along the outside of the Accord on the first floor with their written pen and ink.
As he walked, he shouted: "If there is someone you like, the price is negotiable. Our young master doesn't want it for himself. The money from the sale will be donated to the soldiers in southern Xinjiang."
"This is the youngest son of Wang Zhi, the Minister of the Six Books, named Wang Tianhua, and he is also a talented man in the imperial city." Hua Luoyu explained to Li Ye softly.
Li Ye nodded and praised softly: "Donating money to the front is a good deed. We should get to know this person!"
Nalan Yu glanced at Hua Luoyu, and smiled mysteriously: "By the way, my brother is a master of calligraphy. Even Mr. Tang Qiuyu couldn't get his calligraphy after asking for it. How about I ask Li Ye to write one for you, as a gift?" A gift for returning to Central Territory?”
Hua Luoyu was startled, pulled Li Ye's sleeve and asked, "Did Nalan mean what he said? Mr. Tang also likes your handwriting?"
Li Ye glared at Nalan Yu and said with a helpless smile: "I am not a big brother. I just copy some scriptures on weekdays. Seeing that Mr. Tang liked it, I gave her two volumes!"
Nalanyu was stunned, looked at him and said, "If you didn't write well, Mr. Tang wouldn't beg you for help."
Li Ye looked at him and smiled helplessly: "Brother, can you please stop causing trouble for me in the future?"
"Write one for me quickly. My sister and I both like calligraphy, not to mention that even Mr. Tang wants to collect the scriptures you wrote."
Hua Luoyu took his hand and shook it, as if she wouldn't let go if she couldn't get it.
Li Ye sighed again and glared at Nalan Yu fiercely.
He looked back at Hua Luoyu and said, "Sister Luoyu, I agreed that I will only write one piece for you. After I finish writing, I will go home."
"Okay, okay, you can go home after you finish writing. I won't keep you." In a hurry, Hua Luoyu moved the stove and tea sets on the table to the railing of the pavilion, and carefully wiped away the tea stains on the table.
Then he raised his head, looked at Li Ye and said, "Would you like me to have someone send me some pens, ink, paper and inkstones?"
"That's not necessary, I have it myself." Li Ye thought since he couldn't escape, so he decided to write a picture for Hua Luoyu.
He raised his hand and took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the space ring. He turned around and took the kettle and poured some hot water into the inkstone, and then spread a light yellow Hu Xuan on the table.
When Hua Luoyu saw Li Yelaizhen, she obediently stood aside and started grinding ink for him.
Li Ye mentioned the wolf hair, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then wrote:
The sky connects with the clouds and waves and the dawn mist,
The stars are turning and a thousand sails are dancing.
As if the soul of a dream returns to the emperor's home,
Hearing Tian's words, he asked me diligently where I was going.
I report to the road leader that the sun is setting,
There are amazing sentences in poetry.
Ninety Thousand Miles Wind Peng is doing his best.
When the wind stops, the boat blows away the three mountains!
...
But when the incense stick was half full, the song "The Proud Fisherman" appeared on the paper, and the signature was: Tianshan Swordsman.
The gentle brushstrokes of the banner that had just been waved revealed a hint of cold and handsome sword intent, which made the two people in front of them shudder.
"Okay! Good! Good!" Nalanyu said three good words in a row. "You are not allowed to sell this calligraphy!"
Hua Luoyu ignored him, but lowered her head and looked at it again and again. She liked it very much. After a long time, she raised her head and looked at Li Ye and said, "Brother Li Ye, my sister is starting to like you!"
