He Yiqi walked slowly behind the figure sitting on the chair and shouted softly, "Mr. Lan Yu!"
Lan Yu, who was immersed in reading the book in his hand, raised his head when he heard the sound and found He Yiqi standing behind him.
"Oh! Why are you here?" Lan Yu said in surprise.
"I have been standing here with you for a long time. You have been staring at the book and haven't noticed me at all..." He Yiqi said.
Mr. Lan Yu was really fascinated by reading. Even though Mrs. Biao and the group of people next to him were making such a noise, Lan Yu could still devote herself to reading without being disturbed at all.
It can only be said that he can really find peace in the midst of chaos.
"Haha, maybe I was distracted when I saw something exciting in the book and didn't notice you. But this book is really well written. Not only is the writing style fresh and refined, the plot is full of ups and downs, but the scenery recorded in the rivers and lakes is also used. The writing is delicate. It not only depicts all the dark side of Jianghu truthfully, but also implicitly gives the author's own views on Jianghu..."
Listening to Lan Yu's gushing praise for this book, He Yiqi couldn't help but sigh, "Actually, I think... I really can't understand this book. I don't know many of the words in it. As for what you said I didn’t see a single thing about this book.”
"Ah...that doesn't matter. I'll just write some notes for you around some of the words in this book that you may not recognize. After I finish reading, you can take this book and read it again, so that you can also You can see it more clearly." Lan Yu smiled gently.
"Mr. Lan Yu! Come over and eat!"
Lan Yu followed the sound and realized that dinner had already begun in the restaurant, and Aunt Biao was greeting her warmly.
Lan Yu smiled sheepishly.
Yesterday I discovered that He Yiqi was reading a book called "Jiuzhou Jianghu Lu".
Lan Yu suddenly became interested. He had also heard of this book, which was written by a famous academic master from Tianxia Academy. However, the book was not very famous at the time, so the publisher did not print too many copies.
It was not until a few years later that the world discovered the subtlety of this book. Unfortunately, the master has passed away, and there are very few books circulating in the world.
Many people have never seen the original work with their own eyes and can only see its subtleties from some transcripts.
When Lan Yu inquired about it, it turned out that it was Zi who brought him here. According to him, he found this book somewhere when he was away from home. He didn't know the specific source, so he gave it to him because he wanted to give up his hobby of reading.
When Lan Yu heard this, she just thought it was collected by some elder in Zi's family, so she came here excitedly to read this morning. Who would have thought that the whole morning would pass just by looking at it.
Aunt Biao brought a stool and placed it beside the table, and said to Lan Yu, "Come and eat, Mr. Lan Yu! You can continue reading after eating!"
Lan Yu no longer refused, and after putting down the book, she and He Yiqi came to the dinner table.
The table was filled with chicken, duck, fish, meat and vegetables, and all kinds of delicacies exuded an appetizing aroma. As soon as you saw it, you could see colorful delicacies.
Lan Yu scratched her head in embarrassment and said, "Excuse me, I'm really sorry for bothering you today."
"No matter where you are, whether it is for Mr. Lan Yu who has educated children in our town for many years, or for Mr. Lan Yu who has imparted knowledge to us, it is reasonable for you to have a meal here!" Presbyopia said. mouth, carefully poured a glass of wine, and handed it to Lan Yu.
In the process of handing it to Lan Yu, his presbyopic eyes never left the wine rippling in the glass.
The wine was fragrant, but Lan Yu raised her hand to refuse.
"I'm really sorry, I'm too drunk to drink this wine!" Lan Yu declined.
"Ah, Mr. Lan Yu, can't you just take a few sips?" the cripple asked.
Lan Yu still shook her head and said, "I only drink tea on weekdays, and I really can't bear the fine wine in this cup."
The presbyopic man looked helpless, looked at the glass of wine in his hand, sighed, and said, "Then this wine can't be wasted. In this case, I have to reluctantly drink this glass for Mr. Lan Yu."
After saying that, Presbyopia directly picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
Seeing Presbyopia drinking so boldly, Lan Yu couldn't help but admired, "I didn't expect that although the old gentleman is old, his drinking capacity is still the same as before."
"Haha, that's not it!" Presbyopia put down the wine glass, his old face was slightly flushed, his eyes were a little distracted, and he looked a little drunk.
"I thought back then I was said to be invincible after a thousand cups of wine! Ugh!" Presbyopia let out a wine burp. He felt his head was dizzy and his body was a little out of control, but his head was still quite clear.
"This... this wine doesn't look like an ordinary wine!" Lan Yu looked at the wine glass in his presbyopic hand with some hesitation, sniffed the aroma of the wine in the air, and said thoughtfully, "This is... the fragrance of osmanthus, pure and sweet. , rich but not heavy, the wine is clear, has great stamina, and is endlessly memorable. This seems to be the best osmanthus wine! It should be made by a famous craftsman, and it is a famous brand in Kyushu. It’s brewed in a winery!”
The proprietress who had been silent on the side suddenly said, "Don't you, Mr. Lan Yu, not drink? How come you can speak so eloquently just by smelling the aroma and looking at the appearance of the wine?"
Aunt Biao on the side stared at her presbyopic eyes with dissatisfaction and said, "You guy, didn't I ask you to get two bottles of ordinary wine? How did you open that bottle of fine Osmanthus Tears? That's... that But……"
"That was specially brought to me by my distant cousin. His grandfather had collected it for many years." The proprietress glanced at Aunt Biao, then took the conversation and stared at Zi and said, "It's a pity that his grandfather, in the past, I kept it and never drank it, even when my family fell into decline, I still kept this bottle of wine."
Zi Wenyan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, yes, this is indeed a bottle of wine left by my grandfather. It is also...my cousin reminded me and asked me to bring it to her."
"Osmanthus Tears... that is produced exclusively by Lihuayuan, the largest winery in Chang'an City. This winery is famous even in Kyushu, and the wine produced there is worth thousands of gold." , and if you want to buy it, you must not only be rich, but also powerful, so that you can grab a limited amount of wine from among the many reservations." Lan Yu's face was filled with emotion, and then she quickly said, "These are all what I read in the book. If there is anything wrong, please correct me."
"Mr. Lan Yu is really well-informed. Even if he doesn't drink, he will write down these things." The landlady said with a smile, "By the way, I remember that my cousin also brought a bottle of good tea from home, and also Please ask Aunt Biao to help make a cup of good tea for Mr. Lan Yu."
After Aunt Biao agreed, she turned around and went to the courtyard.
Lan Yu smiled and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you so much."
"Mr. Lan Yu, what are you talking about? Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. If you come to celebrate the New Year with us, you will become a family. How can one family talk about two families? Besides, eating at this table only adds one person to the family. It’s about serving dishes and chopsticks.” The landlady said with a smile, “Okay, let’s start eating when Mrs. Biao comes!”
"I remember Mr. Lan Yu has been to Chang'an City before. I wonder what the scenery of Chang'an City is like?" He Yiqi suddenly asked curiously.
Lan Yu's face changed slightly when she heard this, with a look of memories on her face, and a light of yearning in her eyes, and finally she said softly, "Chang'an, that is an extremely prosperous and beautiful city.
There is gold everywhere and there are warriors everywhere.
In our town, we have not seen a second-grade warrior in so many years.
Even the only first-grade martial artist at the time went to the county and joined the county government as a martial artist.
The most promising child in the town now is Mr. Wang's eldest son. It is said that Mr. Wang once invited a first-level warrior to see his son in person. The warrior said that his son had half-level qualifications.
As for Chang'an City, there are so many warriors there, there are a lot of third- and fourth-grade warriors, not to mention those first- and second-grade warriors.
I have seen with my own eyes that a first-grade warrior who was able to show off his power in our town was only sent to look at the gate when he arrived in Chang'an.
The people traveling on the streets of Chang'an City are all famous families and wealthy businessmen. They all wear silk cheongsams and eat delicacies from the mountains and seas. Even the horses used for traveling are high-quality sweat-horses.
It is said that in Chang'an City, even selling sesame cakes on the street can make a lot of money every day. I even heard that if you beg for a month in Chang'an City, you can buy a house in a town like ours!
Although this is a bit unrealistic, and I have never seen anyone actually do this, it also shows from another aspect that Chang'an is prosperous. "
"Is this... like this?"
He Yiqi was obviously shocked by what Lan Yu said. The farthest place he had ever been from Ping'an Restaurant was a county not far from the town.
The young man can't always hold his small but familiar hometown in his heart, and always wants to go to a place farther away than the distant place.
"Yes, but I only stayed there for two days, and my understanding of it is still too shallow. If there is anything that left the deepest impression on me in Chang'an City, it must be the smell there. " Lan Yu's eyes were blurred, as if he was reminiscing about something. After a while, he slowly said, "The smell there is not like the smell in our small town, it is a slightly sweet smell. .
When you stay there for a long time, you may not feel it anymore, but if you leave suddenly, you will find that the smell is always lingering in your nose and heart, lingering for a long time. Only going back there again can give you that taste. That satisfying taste. "
