the enlightener says

"But that is what I have experienced after all." Zhang Mingqi said solemnly: "You know, I used to live that kind of life, I don't have to worry about when the grains are ripe, I only think about which restaurant's food is delicious; I don't need to know how to build a house and repair tiles, but I can live in a luxurious mansion in Jianye City; I don't know whether the little neighbor Biyu is washing clothes by the river or watering the fields today, but I know which brothel in Jianye City The girl is pretty."

"In this case, how can I really integrate into them and make them treat each other equally?" Zhang Mingqi shook his head bitterly, "You may not know that many times I can't even understand what they say, and I What I have experienced, if I really talk about it, I am afraid I will only get a bunch of blank eyes... From the beginning, we are people from two worlds, but I was forcibly kicked out of my world..."

Qin Ke was silent for a moment.

Yes, he and Zhang Mingqi are people from two worlds. Although the two worlds have never been cut off, there is still a huge gulf in it, which is even difficult for people to bridge in a lifetime.

When he was farming and living in Daoxiang Village, did he ever think that people in the outside world could easily give gifts of hundreds of gold just to get closer to each other.

Not everyone in this world is on the same plane, and people on different planes naturally have different ways of perceiving the world.

Just like Gongshu Yinxue has what she can see, Gao Changgong will also have his unique insights into the Mohist court, and if it is Zhuge Wanling who is in the deep palace, the things in his mind must also have different meanings. It is also a secret for outsiders.

What about himself?

What should he see?What should I think about?

Qin Ke thought absently.

Chapter 566 A Deeply Buried Affection

"Hello." At this moment, Zhang Mingqi patted Qin Ke on the shoulder, pulled Qin Ke back from his thoughts, and said with a sneer, "Are you feeling sorry for me? Although I have said so much, But it doesn't mean that I've been complaining about myself all the time. Even though I'm poor now, I still have a good life, don't I?"

Zhang Mingqi pinched Qin Ke's shoulder comfortingly, and the smile on his face at this moment was so warm: "Don't worry, I just sometimes have a headache because I don't know how to intervene among them, but it's not really self-defeating. My dad and I are left alone. If I don’t support this family, what will happen to my dad for the rest of his life? As for drinking alone, I just don’t want to compete with them for drinking. Such a good wine, I already I haven’t drunk it for two years, how can I drink it down like they are chewing peonies? How is that different from drinking water?”

Qin Ke was dumbfounded for a moment.

After a while, he also showed a smile, knowing that the former young master in front of him was far stronger than he imagined, so he raised his wine bowl, walked up to Zhang Mingqi, and sincerely said, "Respect."

Zhang Mingqi nodded. Although he said before that he didn't want to fight for wine, he still drank the wine in the wine bowl, and the two laughed loudly.

"Now I'm also a person who can repair tiles in houses. Speaking of it, I never thought it was so difficult before, but after I really did it, I still feel that I am quite useful." Zhang Mingqi grinned, "Also There is one thing that I can just tell you."

"You say." Qin Ke nodded.

"I'm getting married." Zhang Mingqi said solemnly: "When I get back to Jingwu, I'll treat you to a drink."

Qin Ke was taken aback. He didn't expect that what Zhang Mingqi wanted to say was this: "Get married? When did it happen? Which family lady?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Mingqi let out a breath, spread his hands to express his innocence, "With my current state, which family is willing to marry their girl to me?"

"Hmm..." It was naturally impossible for Qin Ke to respond to him with words like "that's right".

But Zhang Mingqi's eyes were full of tenderness, which made Qin Ke believe that he was not joking, but that there was really such a girl waiting for him in Jingwu.

"I made up my mind after I finished this battle." Zhang Mingqi raised his head and looked at the stars, "At that time, I felt that I had come to this world with great difficulty. If I really died on the battlefield, even a girl would die." Wouldn't it be a big loss if I didn't get it back? Although I visited a lot of those youth houses, it's a completely different thing. If there is someone who can form a family with you, even if the house is very broken, at least let you Doesn’t it feel warm? Of course, I should be able to get some bounties when I go back this time, and I can still change my residence.”

Qin Ke nodded, feeling happy for Zhang Mingqi: "Isn't that the best? Find me if you need money..." After a pause, he felt a little strange to himself, "I still have some money, but it's not me. My own, um, how should I put it..."

"I know you're rich now, so I'll lose to the patriarch's uncle. But anyway, I got married myself, and I don't want you to pay for me. Otherwise, is this auntie yours or mine?" Zhang Mingqi teased, of course he He also knew the background of Qin Ke in private, but what he was worried about now was another thing: "But I still have a headache, I seem to have never expressed anything to that girl, what if the girl disagrees? "

what to do?I am afraid that no one can give an answer to this kind of question.What made Qin Ke a little speechless was that Zhang Mingqi had said it so firmly before, but in fact he hadn't even mentioned that girl.

A kind of funny filled his heart, Qin Ke had been alone for a long time, and finally couldn't help but spit out the wine from his mouth, and spilled all the wine on Zhang Mingqi's body at once.

"Hahahahaha." Qin Ke laughed loudly, "You didn't tell anyone? Then you still said that you want to buy me a drink. Should you say that you are confident or shameless? If that girl doesn't marry you, you what to do?"

Zhang Mingqi was a little embarrassed, wiped off the drink on his body, and glared at Qin Ke: "Although I am not as good-looking as the general, I am still a bit handsomer than you. You can be like a loser's son-in-law. If you want to marry an ordinary girl, isn't it easy?"

Qin Ke made a grimace: "Keep bragging... By the way, who is that girl? Have I met her?"

Zhang Mingqi looked at him mockingly: "Of course you haven't seen it before, you are such a busy person, you are floating around every day, you are married to others, you are fighting with the general of the Mo family, and you have become..." He suddenly He stopped, and in Qin Ke's doubtful expression, he casually laughed a few times, and skipped the topic, "However, that girl is probably the person in the world who would think that I am poor, and when I return to Jing Wu, let me introduce you. In fact, she looks quite delicate. Of course, she can’t compare to that girl from your family..."

Qin Ke looked at him winking, and turned his gaze to the right.

There was a commotion on the wine table, and with the sound of a person falling to the ground, a clear voice followed, as clear as a silver bell.

"What did you say before? This is the third one, and you are still fighting with this girl with your little drinking capacity. Come on, remember what to call me?" Qin Ke clearly saw Cai Yan on the wine table, with one hand Holding the wine bowl that was turned upside down without leaving a drop of wine, he was so proud that he looked like a bandit leader, and the people at the table widened their eyes when they saw such a scene, and had to shout in admiration, "Boss Cai. "

"It's called Qi Dian, I don't admit it when you call it that. I'm willing to bet and admit defeat, willing to bet and admit defeat!" Cai Yan giggled, her face as red as a ripe apple.

"Boss Cai!" Afterwards, the students of the Tai Xuetang yelled together, and the noise on the wine table became louder, even attracting the attention of many losers.

Qin Ke looked at the table dumbfounded, and wanted to step forward to stop it, but after thinking about it, he still didn't bother Cai Yan, who was obviously in high spirits, and let her be the "master of the cottage" there, looking at Zhang Mingqi and said helplessly: " Her? She's not from my family..."

Zhang Mingqi's eyes seemed to be looking at a fool: "Who will believe what you say? I heard from the general that this girl has been with you since the Tang Dynasty. I think you have a lot of affection for her."

"Where did you see it?" Qin Ke held his head and said in pain, "Could it be that everything I think is written on my face?"

"I don't have a face, but I guess you are not a gentleman who can sit still. Such a beautiful girl hangs around every day, saying that it would be a ghost if you can't have some affection for her." Zhang Mingqi observed carefully Looking at Qin Ke's expression, he raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically: "Looking at you like this, shouldn't you be worse than me? Anyway, I have made up my mind to go back and marry that girl. Now you don't even dare to show your affection Tell people about it?"

"You speak lightly."

Qin Ke turned his head away, put his hand on his chin and thought, you really don't know how unpredictable Cai Yan's temperament is, if you say something wrong and offend her, wouldn't you be a joke?

"Are you still a man?" Zhang Mingqi looked at him with contempt, and said, "If you don't take the initiative, be careful that someone will follow someone else in the end, then you will regret it."

Qin Ke wanted to refute something, but Zhang Mingqi stood up suddenly, shrugged and said, "I'm going to rest, and if I drink it, I will sleep in the grass like that guy tonight. It's cold, so I'm not afraid of catching cold. "

After all, he still lifted the heavy Xiaoqian from the ground, limped away with his arms crossed, leaving only the silent Qin Ke still thinking on the spot.

Chapter 567 Aged Old Wine

During this period of getting along, Qin Ke became more and more sure that he liked Cai Yan. As for when did this kind of love start to germinate...

Was it the moment when Cai Yan made a wish with him when the lantern was set by the river, or was it the moment when she stood on top of a high wall and shouted "Brother Qin, catch me" and then jumped?

After that day, he recalled that scene countless times, recalling that she was wearing a gorgeous long dress, her face was exquisitely made up, like a fairy descended from the mundane world, and it was the first time that he bumped into the soft body of a girl in his arms. At the same time, the magnolia fragrance in her hair seemed to infect his heart at the same time, and it lingered for a long time.

But then again, he can confirm his intentions. If it's just unrequited love, then he can persist until the end of time alone, but if he wants to ask the other party to give affirmative response, then the liking will become two people How does he know that Cai Yan can communicate with him?

He was a little apprehensive, because Cai Yan had always been so eccentric, and in retrospect, he seemed to have never been able to clearly grasp her inner thoughts, let alone judge her emotions.

If he hastily expressed his intentions, he might not be able to get the ending he wanted.

It's just that Zhang Mingqi's words before he left were still circling in his mind, and he repeated to himself: "If you don't take the initiative, in case someone ends up following someone else...you will regret it... "

He suddenly thought of the dream he had not long ago, and thought of Cai Yan's excitement when he saw Gao Changgong in the first place—even though the way she looked at Gao Changgong had returned to normal now, even with a bit of disdain and disgust, but he Still clenched his fist subconsciously.

The wine competition on the wine table has reached the final round, and most of the students in a table of Taixuetang have been poured into a mess by Cai Yan, and there are still a few standing on the table, staggering and unwilling to fall, and they are already against each other. This beautiful, generous and bold girl was convinced.

Qin Ke glanced at Cai Yan's back in a daze, then lowered his head and looked at the wine in his bowl in a daze, suddenly a sense of pride came from nowhere, he raised his head and drank it down, the burning feeling gradually disappeared There was a surge in his chest, but it seemed that he couldn't dispel the unease in his heart.

Before he knew it, Cai Yan left the table with a smile, walked all the way behind Qin Ke, and slapped him on the shoulder suddenly: "Hey!"

Qin Ke jumped up all of a sudden, and when he saw Cai Yan's slightly red face, he stammered and said, "Cai Yan...Actually, I...er...you..."

"What about me? What about you? Let's go! It's so boring, let's go to the garden in the backyard. Where are Lao Gao and Abu?"

Cai Yan's eyes were extraordinarily bright tonight, like the twinkling stars in the sky, although they were reflected by the moonlight, they did not lose their brilliance at all.

"Old Gaozai..." Qin Ke watched Cai Yan skillfully hold her arm, quickly looked away, and pointed to the grass. However, Gao Yishui, who was sleeping there, had disappeared at this moment. , and then it suddenly dawned on Gao Yishui that he was pretending to be drunk before, so he could only respond dumbfounded: "The one who was there just now, I don't know where he went now. Abu hasn't seen anyone, maybe he stayed by Gao Changgong's side?"

"Oh." Cai Yan's body was rosy with the smell of alcohol, but he was still so happy, "It doesn't matter, let's go, let's go, the plum blossoms in the garden should be blooming, let's go and see!"

Naturally, Qin Ke couldn't hold her back, and the held arm willingly acted as a support for her to walk.

The garden is a bit cold at night, and the light from the lanterns reflects the layers of snow on the eaves, showing a refreshing whiteness and brightness.

Cai Yan chirped like a bird just out of the cage, but it didn't make people feel noisy. With the crisp laughter echoing in the garden, most of the coldness of winter was slowly dissipated.

"Fighting wine with this girl, hmph, how do they know that the jars of wine in front of me have already been replaced by water in private, even if they come one more time, they will definitely not be my opponent..." Cai Yan stopped walking in circles, made a face at Qin Ke, and unabashedly revealed the secret of his arrogance at the wine table before.

Qin Ke shook his head with a wry smile, and hurried forward to support her who was unable to stand firmly.

The plum blossoms in the garden are indeed blooming bright red. From a distance, they look like balls of flames flaring on the branches. Even in such a cold snowy night, they still stand stubbornly against the wind, as if the spring sunshine has been conceived in their bodies. Bring back the lost spring scenery of the garden.

It's just that Qin Ke didn't focus on those blooming red plums, but kept chasing Cai Yan's figure and moving left and right, while carefully concealing that he didn't want to be discovered by her.

At this time, there should be only the two of them in the plum garden. Most of the servants and maidservants in the mansion are still serving at the banquet, or have returned to their rooms early to rest. In the back garden of this deep house...

Well, this is the quietest place at the moment.

Qin Ke felt that if he really wanted to express his heart, in such a peaceful garden, under such a beautiful plum tree, it would undoubtedly be the best choice. Could it be that even the heavens couldn't stand his hesitation and planned to give him a secret? He created a clean world?

Say it.

Say it.

Just say it.

Qin Ke took a deep breath and clenched his fists tightly. Although he didn't hold the Bodhisattva Sword in his hand, he still had a bit of determination that he was about to step on the battlefield.

It seemed that if he didn't do this, he wouldn't be able to open his heavy lips and say those words that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

"That...Cai Yan..." Qin Ke finally spoke, making a sound with some difficulty.

"Wait, I'll change something for you." Cai Yan didn't care about Qin Ke's blushing face at all, while interrupting him, he picked up a strong wooden pole with a smile, and began to forcefully start at the root of the plum tree. Dig up.

Qin Ke was a little confused by her actions, but seeing her serious and focused appearance, he had no choice but to find a similar branch from the side and dig with her.

After all, he is a practitioner, and Qin Ke's wrist is obviously stronger. After a while, he felt that his dead branch seemed to touch something hard.

"Yes." Cai Yan also heard the voice, and his eyes lit up immediately. Regardless of his appearance, he used his hands to plan the loose soil, then bent down, and lifted out the thing buried under the soil with all his strength—it turned out to be A jar of sealed old wine.

Judging from the simple lines drawn on the wine jar, this jar of wine is by no means ordinary.

"A few days ago, I secretly overheard the conversation of some old people who were losers..." Cai Yan happily handed the wine to Qin Ke, fiddled with it a few more times with the wooden pole, bent down and pulled out a jar of old wine again, laughing Said: "This is really good wine. It is said that it has been hidden for a hundred years. The materials for making wine are very rare."

Qin Ke nodded unconsciously, his face stunned, and he thought that you said you want to see plum blossoms not because they are beautiful, but because you are coveting the century-old wine buried under the tree?

"This... this is not very good. It has been hidden for so many years, and now we secretly drink it out. If they want to drink it in the future but can't find it, wouldn't they be sad to death?"

"What are you afraid of? I've heard those old people say that they are people who only dare to enjoy their mouths. No one wants to dig out and drink. A bunch of cheapskates... good wine, you have to drink it to be worthy of it Otherwise, it would be buried under the ground every day, and it would be so sad." Cai Yan said straightforwardly: "Besides, you are still the son-in-law of the public loser in name, so what is it to drink a few jars of old wine from them? , not bad for these few altars.”

Qin Ke's eyes gradually became dull, and he didn't know how to refute her "wrong reasoning", but when Cai Yan really broke the mud seal, the pitiful sense of guilt in his heart finally disappeared, and he drank together with her.

It is worthy of being an old wine that has been preserved for a hundred years. Although the taste is mellow, it is not hot. A line enters the throat, and the mouth is full of fragrance. It seems that more than a dozen kinds of fresh fruits burst open one after another, and then turn into warm currents, extending to all parts of the body. .

Qin Ke even felt that the Qi and blood in the meridians were agitated by the force of alcohol, and slowly began to circulate.

"Is it delicious? There are also a lot of precious medicinal materials added here, which can assist in cultivation. I also drank it at home when I was a child, but my father offered it like a treasure, and I was only willing to do it when I or my two brothers suffered from the cold. Take it out and give us a small cup..." Cai Yan giggled while sitting on a rock, she raised her face, and the moonlight covered it gently.

"It's really delicious." Qin Ke nodded, "It's much better than at the banquet. I thought those wines were already very good."

"Of ten or 20 years old wine, it's good to put it in ordinary people's house." Cai Yan slowed down the movement of raising the wine jar, and began to taste the aroma of the wine carefully, commenting: "This is a wine that has been passed down for generations. After that, no matter how rich you are, you won’t make too much.”

"I feel guilty again when you say that." Qin Ke pouted, but he was not willing to let go of the wine jar.

The two of them just talked and drank wine, and soon the small wine jar in their hands bottomed out, and the alcohol that had been brewing for a hundred years, seemingly weak but actually strong, rushed straight into Qin Ke's brain, like A delicate flower bloomed in his mind, causing a raging flame to burn in his chest...

Chapter 568 Aged Old Wine

Fire, usually represents courage.

Because of the force, Qin Ke's fingertips turned slightly white while holding the wine jar, and Cai Yan was sitting only an arm's length away from him. At this moment, he felt that the air around him became stagnant...

Gathering his mind, he tried his best to suppress the dizziness caused by the wine, and finally mustered up the courage again to express his heart.

However, before Qin Ke opened his mouth to speak, Cai Yan suddenly turned his head and looked at him with great excitement. His beautiful face became even redder than before, with a translucent brilliance in the red, as if he was going to match the branches. Hongmei competed against each other.

She was obviously a little drunk, so she leaned close to Qin Ke and sat down beside him.

Qin Ke's bewildered eyes kept shaking her drooping black hair, and the scent of magnolia even overwhelmed the mellow wine and rushed straight into his brain.

do not care!Hug her first!

He stretched his arms over, but Cai Yan suddenly slapped him on the thigh, and said loudly: "Let me tell you! Gao Changgong is really good-looking!"

After finishing speaking, she supported Qin Ke's shoulders and stood up, laughing so loudly that she couldn't even hold the wine jar firmly in her hand, and poured all the remaining wine on Qin Ke's head.

The cold wine topping made Qin Ke's complexion suddenly change, and most of the drunkenness dissipated, but seeing Cai Yan's trembling with laughter, he didn't know whether he should be sad or should follow suit.

"Hey, tell me, the same surname is Gao, Lao Gao is actually not bad looking, but why does he look so wretched?" Cai Yan added, followed by a long series of wanton laughter.

Qin Ke frowned bitterly, a little downcast, but because of Cai Yan's two jokes, he could completely forget about the unpleasant dream before.

At least he can be sure that the two most powerful competitors with the surname Gao around him have become the targets of Cai Yan's leisurely ridicule.

Cai Yan, who was drunk, kept circling around the plum tree in the garden, swaying for a while, yelling for a while, and shouting to the sky: "I want to dance, I want to dance!"

After that, Cai Yan stood under the moonlight and really danced.

When her slender waist and fluttering skirt were coated with a layer of silver by the moonlight, Qin Ke heard the sound of the piano coming from nowhere, and accompanies her just right.

This drunken dancing girl no longer cares about where she is or whether her dance steps are graceful or not. Free and flexible fish swimming in mountain streams.

Seeing that Qin Ke was still in a daze, she smiled and stepped forward to hold his hand, and led him to dance together. In the moonlight, the shadows of the two kept overlapping, separating, overlapping, and separating again, as if they were kissing and embracing.

There is no light in the tall building not far away, but there is a person sitting by the window, with a guqin in front of him and a half jar of wine beside him, a pair of slender hands gently caressing the strings, and the melodious melody floats into the air.

Looking at the two figures dancing in the garden, Gao Yishui grinned: "These two guys don't call me if they have good wine."
