As soon as I said this, the four girls beside me couldn't help but be shocked.
However, they had obviously received professional training and returned to their charming expressions in an instant.
Xue'er smiled delicately and leaned into my ear, breathed, and said softly in a tone that sounded like Lin Chiling's: "Master Hu, what do you mean by this? Xue'er doesn't understand!"
After saying this, Xueer turned around and said to a girl next to her who looked very much like "Dilire Bar": "Yang'er, we can't forget Master Ying Qi's instructions, quickly pour a drink for Master Hu. Tea. That's the fine tea he personally brewed for Master Hu."
The girl named Yang'er responded with a smile, then turned around and ran to the table next to her to pour a cup of tea.
The tea soup was as green as jade and overflowing with strong fragrance. In just a moment, the whole room was filled with the faint fragrance of tea.
I took a long breath and couldn't help but sigh: "Good tea!"
Xue'er took the teacup handed over by Yang'er and said, "It is indeed good tea! Not only good tea, but also good water, and also a good cup!"
I took the teacup from Xueer's hand and looked at it in my hand.
This is a small porcelain cup. The overall color is gray, but under the illumination of the light, it glows with a delicate and soft white color, which is like milk and jade.
I looked at the cup in my hand and said: "Secret color porcelain from the mid-Tang Dynasty, moon white glaze. It is indeed a good cup. I estimate that you can find no more than six moon white glazes like this in China, but you actually use them to hold them." Tea? That’s really generous.”
Yang'er heard what I said and laughed at the side: "Master Hu, you really have a good eye! You can actually tell the origin of this moon-white glaze at a glance."
I smiled, looked at the green tea soup in the cup, put the tea under my nose and smelled it, and suddenly felt a refreshing sweetness welling up in my heart.
I sighed: "It's really good water and good tea! If I guessed correctly, the tea Ying Laoqi prepared for me is the first crop of green bamboo leaves before this year's Qingming Festival in Mount Emei, Sichuan."
Xueer smiled and said: "Master Hu is really knowledgeable!"
I smiled and said, "Miss Xue'er deserves a prize!"
Xue'er then asked: "Master Hu guessed the tea cup and tea leaves correctly. Can Master Hu guess what kind of water Xue'er used to brew this tea with you?"
I looked at Xueer and smiled, then put the tea soup under my nose and smelled it. After a while, I said: "As for this water, it should be the rootless water left after the first rain since early spring this year. .Miss Xueer, I don’t know if what I said is right?”
After hearing what I said, Xueer couldn't help but smile and clapped her hands and said, "As expected of the young master of Yiyuanzhai, you are really knowledgeable! Master Hu, you said everything right without even paying for it. You are really amazing." Very."
I looked at the tea soup in my hand, and then at Xue'er, who was as beautiful as a flower, and frowned slightly.
Xueer asked in surprise: "Master Hu, what's wrong? Is this green bamboo leaf not to your liking?"
I shook my head and said with a smile: "Good tea, good water, good cup, how can it not be to your liking? I just have one thing that I can't figure out, and I want Miss Xue'er to answer it for me."
Xueer looked at me in surprise and asked, "Is there any question I can answer?"
I smiled and said, "Only you can answer this question."
Xueer looked at me and said slowly for a long time: "Since Mr. Hu thinks I can answer it, just ask."
I smiled and said: "Okay! Very good! Very good!"
I said "good" three times in a row, while Xueer and the three women around her gradually stopped smiling and looked at me with complicated eyes.
I looked at the four women from left to right, and in their eyes I seemed to read a kind of cunning and greed similar to that of a fox, the most cunning nine-tailed fox.
At this time, I seemed to be the prey they were eager to eat.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Xueer took the lead and asked, "Master Hu, what exactly do you want to know?"
I sighed with a wry smile and said slowly: "I just want to know..."
I deliberately prolonged my tone while looking into Xue'er's eyes. After a while, I continued: "When did the Orchid Gate in the Lower Eight Gates become someone else's lackey? And why did Ying Lao Qi let the Orchid Gate Someone to do things for him?"
Hearing me mention the words "Orchid Gate", Xueer and the three women behind her were startled.
But Xueer quickly calmed down, smiled charmingly and came to my side and said softly: "What do you mean, Master Hu? Xueer doesn't know what the eight gates are, let alone what you are saying. What is the Orchid Gate? Is Master Hu trying to tease Xueer?"
I smiled and rubbed my nose with my index finger with my right hand. This was Xiong Ming's problem, and I learned it. I was willing to rub my nose with my hand whenever anything happened.
After rubbing my nose twice, I drank all the tea in my hand and sighed "Good tea". Then, I smiled and pointed at the extremely light spider tattoo on Xueer's chest, and said with a smile: " As the old saying goes, Liu Zidao, Actor's Road, Orchid Thousand-Handed Gu Gate Crossing. Wine, sex, wealth and luck are hard to get, and the red spider appears in the world to hook your life. As soon as the orchid Bodhi takes action, it will be difficult for the Buddha to leave. Miss Xue'er, I said I was wrong. ?"
Seeing me pointing at the tattoo on her chest, and hearing me say these few words smoothly, Xueer, who had been smiling charmingly, suddenly turned pale, and after a while, she slowly spoke: "You... …Have you known our origins for a long time?”
I smiled and shook my head and said, "I was just guessing at the beginning. It wasn't until you revealed your white rabbit to seduce me and saw the looming red spider that I was sure."
After finishing speaking, I said to the wide-eyed Yang'er beside me: "Miss Yang'er, please pass me the moon-white glazed teapot. I'm going to die of thirst."
Yang'er looked at me as if she were looking at a monster. I said it twice before she came back to her senses and tremblingly handed over the moon-white glazed teapot on the table.
I took the teapot and tilted my neck "dong dong dong" and poured most of the tea. Then I sighed with satisfaction and said: "It's so enjoyable! It's so damn enjoyable! I'm so damn thirsty!"
Xue'er looked at me pouring tea into my stomach like a cow drinking, and looked at me with a very incredible look. It wasn't until I put down the teapot for a while that she slowly said: "Since you know that I am Orchid How dare the people in the door drink the water I gave you? Aren't you afraid..."
I laughed and said, "I'm afraid! Of course I'm afraid! The unique flower wind in the orchid door is colorless and tasteless. If you get a little bit of it, you will feel weak all day long, and your hands and feet will feel limp, as if you are in a flower bush, or as if you have fallen on a girl's side." Gentle countryside. How can I not be afraid of this?"
Xueer looked at me as if she were looking at a monster. After a long time, she said, "But you still drank the tea soup I handed you."
I looked at Xueer with a smile, then at the moon-white glaze teapot in my hand, and said, "That's right! And I drank a lot. Such good tea, such a good teapot, and such good water , let alone Hua Feng Li Ta, even if there is something poisonous in it, I still want to try it! But, the more important thing is..."
Xueer immediately asked: "What is it?"
I smiled and said, "More importantly, I want to see what kind of drama you and Ying Laoqi want to do next?"
"Any drama is good, but it won't be "The Empty City" anyway." Just as I finished speaking, a middle-aged man's voice suddenly rang from outside the door. Before I finished speaking, a man suddenly opened the door and walked in. .
Ying Lao Qi, this person is Ying Lao Qi.
I walked into the room, smiled and pointed at Xue'er and the three women around her, and said, "Uncle Qi, as a junior, I can't bear the gift you prepared for me. !”
Ying Laoqi walked slowly in front of me, and Yang'er consciously moved a chair. Ying Laoqi didn't even look at Yang'er, he pulled up a chair and sat down.
Ying Laoqi changed his slightly humble expression before. He stared at me with his eagle-like eyes. After a long time, he slowly said: "It is said that Master Hu is the successor to the old master of the Hu family. The smartest person in the world, I didn’t believe it before. However, this time I finally saw it.”
I looked at Yinglao Qi, cupped my hands and said with a smile: "Uncle Qi, you are very grateful. However, Uncle Qi, you are not bad at all. You have deceived everyone and set up such a big game. It is really amazing."
Ying Lao Qi imitated my tone and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you! Thank you!"
I looked at Yinglao Qi and said, "However, Uncle Qi, there is one thing I don't quite understand. I wonder if you would be willing to explain it to my eldest nephew?"
Yinglao Qi looked at me and said slowly: "You want to know where this is?"
I shook my head and said: "Although I have never been here, I can guess a little bit by looking at the four top beauties around me. After all, in the capital city, there can be such cards, except for the Orchid Gate." Apart from the Guose Tianxiang Pavilion, I really can’t think of a second place.”
Yinglao Qi looked at me and asked, "Then what do you want to know? Want to know why I brought you here?"
I shook my head with a wry smile, and after a while, I said: "The fact that you brought me here shows that I am still valuable for you to use. If I guessed correctly, the mole you mentioned before is you, right?" "
Yinglao Qi looked at me and said nothing. He was waiting for me to finish my words.
And I continued consciously: "I think our old man may have discovered something and noticed something strange about you, so he didn't take you to that place. And what I want to know is about our old man going there alone. That place, and that thing you mentioned sixty years ago."
Ying Laoqi looked at me, his lips moved slightly, and after a long time he said in a low voice: "Now is not the time, that person won't let me tell you all the details about the whole thing."
I looked at Yinglao Qi and asked in confusion: "That person? Who is he?"
Ying Laoqi said: "You don't need to know who he is. You only need to know one thing now."
I asked: "What happened?"
Ying Laoqi said: "You just need to know that your time is running out."
After saying that, Yinglao Qi stood up and walked out of the room without looking back.
