Yijuan cloud

Chapter 55 He is a handsome man

"Hey Mr. Lin, please sit down quickly. Tea is here."

Before the waiter could say anything, Mrs. Sun came over and led us back to our seats with a smile on her face.

In the noodle shop, diners drink tea from stoneware bowls.

Mrs. Sun brought another set of blue and white porcelain tea sets. They looked acceptable, but when she held them in her hands, they felt crude.

The tea in the bowl was slightly red, with some broken tea leaves floating on it, but it was hard to tell what kind of tea it was.

It was so spicy that I felt dizzy, and I just wanted to take a sip, but I still secretly glanced at Prince Yi's expression. He was usually so particular, how could he drink it?
Unexpectedly, he directly picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and handed it to me hurriedly: "It's not hot or cold, drink it quickly, and you won't feel spicy anymore after drinking it."

I was extremely surprised. I felt that Prince Yi at this moment was both strange and familiar. From the moment we walked into this noodle shop, it seemed that he was no longer Prince Yi, but a close friend with me.

In the past few months, I have served him personally, spending most of the day together from morning to night. Now I can already read his eyes, and I can tell what he wants to do when he raises his eyes. , but when we were in the mansion, it was still as if we were separated by a chasm.

He urged me to drink quickly.The tea was right in front of me, swaying slightly in the tea bowl, like the cool lake water in summer. My face was so hot from the spicy food, and my mouth felt more like a fire, so I reached out to take the tea bowl and took a few sips. , I can’t tell what it smells like, I just feel like nectar.

I don't like spicy food, but when I ate such spicy noodles, I lost my composure for a moment. At this moment, I thought that I was just like a shrimp and crab in a hot pot, so I felt embarrassed, so I had to pretend to be calm and ask Mrs. Sun: "What's this?" What kind of tea is it? Why can’t I drink it?”

"This is plantain. It clears away heat and improves eyesight. It can be made into tea." Prince Yi said, handing over a brocade handkerchief and said casually, "Your handkerchief is dirty, use mine." As he spoke, he used The other hand picked up the tea bowl and held it slowly.

My face was still hot, my nose was itchy, and I was worried that I had no use for the handkerchief, so I took it.

It feels like the prince is in an exquisite teahouse, and the tea bowl in his hand is like a peerless treasure. He is sitting upright, with a leisurely posture, elegant and lazy.

Mrs. Sun was still standing aside, staring at Prince Yi with her eyes straight, and she couldn't blame her. Prince Yi was truly a handsome man, and he had an indescribable aura in his movements. It was like, He obviously looks like a gentle and elegant scholar, but he has an overbearing aura that is difficult to underestimate.

I suddenly thought that he was a prince and could become an emperor. Even though the previous emperor passed the throne to his brother, the same blood flowed in their bones.

Mrs. Sun smiled and said: "If I had known that Mr. Lin was coming, why would my family prepare some tea? Alas, it's because we are a small business here. Tea is so expensive, how can we afford it? But Mr. Lin is really powerful. He can see this at a glance. What are the herbs and how do they taste? Doesn’t it taste good? I picked them myself."

Prince Yi smiled softly at Lady Sun and said, "It tastes better than tea. Please give me another bowl of noodles without spicy food."

Mrs. Sun responded with a smile and left in a hurry.

I folded his handkerchief, held it in my hand, and said softly:

"Go back and embroider a new veil to return to you. I have already used this one."

"Okay." He picked up the chopsticks again, stirred his bowl of noodles, and said without raising his head, "You can't eat spicy food, just wait a while, I can still eat spicy food. If you're hungry, eat first." .”

He ate with gusto and exclaimed "It's delicious" from time to time. He was fair and fair, and his lips were as red as a woman's. After eating noodles for a while, his lips became red and his teeth became whiter. In addition, his posture was still elegant while eating noodles. I occasionally looked at him. Go, actually feel that watching him eat seems to be a kind of enjoyment.

It seemed that the noodles were really delicious, and I was actually hungry.

But another bowl of noodles was brought. Although it was not spicy anymore, the taste was not satisfactory. I barely ate less than half of the bowl and put down the chopsticks.

Prince Yi ate so much that the tip of his nose was sweaty. He probably saw that I didn't like it, so he said, "This noodles is delicious. I think it's the spicy food. Although it's very spicy, it's also very exciting. What other taste?" They all pale in front of it.”

He said these words casually, but I was silently stunned.

What can make me ignore other tastes?

Maybe not.It seems that nothing is as happy as freedom.

Finally, when Prince Yi finished eating the noodles and stood up to leave, Mrs. Sun came over and said, "I have paid for the two bowls of noodles just now, but I still need one bowl of noodles."

Prince Yi looked out the door and said in annoyance: "My young master's purse is with the boy. I don't know where he went wandering around."

As he said that, he lowered his head to look at his body, took off the fan bag, and gave it to Mrs. Sun: "Take this first."

The pattern on the fan bag is made of gold thread, and I bought many bowls of noodles.

Mrs. Sun smiled brightly and quickly accepted the offer and sent us out. After walking out, she waved her hand and said, "Mr. Lin, come again."

Not knowing where Zhong Ming went, Prince Yi said, "We can't get out of this street. Let's just go ahead and stroll around."

Zhong Ming has always been safe. I was worried that something had happened to him, so I couldn't care less about looking around. I just kept looking around.

I heard a burst of cheers, and before I could react, my arm was held by someone.

I turned around, and Prince Yi pulled me through the crowd.A large group of people were gathered not far away, and the sound of gongs came from inside. The sound was so urgent that it made people's hearts beat violently.

Without even looking, I knew it was a juggler performing a sideshow.

In the old days, Chang and Xing'er would sneak out and sometimes meet buskers in the market.

Buskers... Xing'er just followed the buskers.

When Dr. You gave me the idea to work as a maid in the Cao family, I made up my mind at that time. The journey from Yangzhou to Hangzhou was long and difficult, so it was better for Xing'er to go alone than to drag me along with him.

So I decided to work as a maid in a wealthy family. After Dr. You healed Xing'er's injury, he would go to Hangzhou to find my family. If he found them, my parents would come forward to redeem me.

I just didn't expect that the separation would be a real separation.

Gathering and separation are unpredictable. I have experienced being separated from my family, but I know that our hearts are together. But Xing'er is different. He has gone to follow someone else.

Only then did I realize that the real parting was when the other person changed.

No one knows how sad I was on the day I separated from Xing'er. I used to think that we would always be together. Even if I get married in the future, Xing'er would still be there with me...

He knelt down to me and said that he could no longer serve me because a charlatan named Meng Nier rescued him. He and they formed a sworn brotherhood like the three in Taoyuan, and agreed to depend on each other for life and death.

With tears in his eyes, he asked me if I blamed him. I said no, I was happy for him. I said he repaid his kindness and I respected him as a man.

Prince Yi pulled me tightly. There were people everywhere around us, so we had to be careful to hide, but we still ran forward anxiously, just like Xing'er and I did in the past.

Finally, I squeezed to the front. There was an old man carrying a big knife, and a little girl playing a gong——

"Dear fellow villagers, this is the first time we have come to Guibao, and we are showing off a set of knives to the villagers. Everyone is watching, the rich are supporting the money game, and the poor are supporting the personal game. Thank you for coming -" said Then he threw the knife into the air.

The voice suddenly became excited.

The knife was long and thick, and looked very heavy, but in the old man's hands it was very powerful.

Everyone burst into cheers.

But before Caisheng could retreat, she lost her hand, and the knife hit the ground hard, almost cutting off the old man's foot.

The little girl who was playing the gong hurriedly played the gong and ran over. The old man was only wearing a single coat, but his back was soaked with sweat. He said with a gray face: "I can't play anymore, I'm too old..."

People stopped watching the excitement and began to disperse, but Prince Yi suddenly walked into the field and said loudly: "I'm going to use my place to make a fortune. If the villagers see it well, they will give the old man and the little girl some tea money." .”

The crowd gathered again.

I was surprised, interesting, and excited.

But when Prince Yi went to take the knife from the old man's hand, as soon as he got it, he suddenly sank down and staggered.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud. It seemed that the sword was very heavy. Although Prince Yi usually wielded a sword, where had he ever practiced this?This time I'm afraid that if I don't succeed, I will be embarrassed.

Everyone laughed, and one person shouted: "Young man, this Qinglong Dao weighs 180 pounds, so don't get crushed."

Prince Yi also chuckled, and suddenly imitated the old man and threw the big knife high. I was so frightened that I screamed, but I saw the knife spinning around in mid-air. When it fell, Prince Yi reached out to catch it, and I followed him like a flying swallow. Flying in the air, holding the knife, he fell down, flipped over in mid-air, and finally started to dance with the knife when he landed on the ground.

The sword was fast and light, as if he was wielding an ordinary long sword. The white light was shining and the dance was dazzling.

People forgot to cheer and make noise.

At the end, he stopped, held the big knife and smiled at everyone: "Thank you gentlemen for taking care of me!"

There was a "wow" and thunderous cheers. I clapped my hands vigorously and couldn't help shouting: "What a handsome kung fu!"

The little girl came over with a tea tray, and I took out my purse and dropped a few coins.

Coming out of the crowd, I was still in shock, and I couldn't help but say: "The knife is so heavy, how can you do it so well? You look so weak, but I don't know you are so strong."

Prince Yi turned to look at me and said, "So you brought your wallet and were at the noodle shop just now. Why didn't you take out the money?"
