Chapter 44. Don't act like a baby
Chapter No.16
3000 taels of silver, enough to carry five large boxes.Xie Yuan never kept so much cash at home, but his subordinates ran to the bank to exchange the bank notes, and then sent them to Xie Yuan before Sang Yi's place.
As the evening progresses, there are more and more people in the teahouse. After the deserted appearance during the day, it is no longer only the elderly who come to drink a few cups of tea when they are walking around.Sang Yi has adopted a completely different management method from Nanlou in the business of teahouses—as we all know, Nanlou is a gold-selling shop, and the people who come and go are either rich or expensive, and young men from ordinary families don’t have the financial resources to go there, so naturally there are few A place to have fun and relax.Sangyi’s teahouse is different. Although the people are from the same group in the South Building, the money for tea and snacks are really cheap. A sum of money, they earned a lot of money.
Under such circumstances, Xie Yuan approached the teahouse alone wearing a black and silver mask, followed by a mighty dozen or so people, who immediately attracted everyone's attention and whispered whether they came to kick the teahouse .Xie Yuan was also keenly aware of his abruptness, so he waved his hand to get everyone around him to back off. He quietly chose a seat in front of the window, and adjusted the mask on his face, pretending to be a passerby.
Behind him, the attendants also followed suit——opened the five big boxes before stepping back, a large piece of white flowers, neatly displayed in the center of the venue, almost blinding everyone's eyes.
Several tea boys had never seen the world, so they came to ask in fear.Xie Yuan smiled and kept silent, the only remaining follower by his side laughed and said: "This is the money that the master brought over as a reward, everyone return to their places, we just came to have a good time."
The people around gasped.
Sang Yi only spent 200 taels of silver when he purchased this teahouse, and the money Xie Yuan brought was enough to buy fifteen teahouses like this, but this person said——just tipping money?
How rich is this?
"How stupid is this person?" In the tea room further back, a few tea boys whispered, shaking their heads with pity, and guessed who the money was going to be rewarded to.
The shopkeeper raised his eyelids from behind, and said faintly: "Who else can I give it to? Although he is wearing a mask, that person can be seen as our big boss, Boss Xie. It's so late now, obviously he wants to catch up with the ghost story of the second boss at midnight." The venue—wasn’t it the same battle he came last time? At that time, our second boss went out to meet a beautiful woman, and that master came over in a hurry to find someone. We all thought he was a kicker and sent him away, remember?”
Tea Boy No. [-] pondered and said: "It seems that there is such a thing. You said, if you take such care and care, is our second boss the illegitimate child of the big boss?"
The shopkeeper said quietly again: "I don't have such a young father, and I don't have such a big son. I think your head is caught by the door. Peel ten plates of melon seeds and think about it."
No. [-] silently went to peel the melon seeds.
Another tea boy No. [-] was unconvinced: "Then why did the big boss take so much trouble to come to find the second boss? In the past, the second boss had been by his side for so many years, why did he still think that he couldn't recognize him? I’ve heard of such simple and rude flattery.”
The shopkeeper sighed: "How do you say that, love makes people blind, he feels that Xiao Sang can't recognize him, then it's over, if a person likes another person with all his heart, his brain will naturally It’s not easy. Why are you looking at me? I didn’t see that one of them has a heart and the other concubine has a heart but is stupid, so you go and peel the melon seeds.”
The tea boy went over to peel the melon seeds.
The shopkeeper clapped his hands again, and called another person over: "Come on, go up and look for our stupid fellow, and tell him that the big benefactor is here."
Sang Yi changes clothes upstairs.Now he thinks he is successful in his career, and he says he doesn't care, but he is actually very proud in his heart. This also determines that he also becomes shy during the preparation process before the court, and it takes a lot of money to pick out clothes. Time, no longer catch which one is which as before.
Here, he chose a silky green dress, and said to the mirror with emotion: "The so-called scholar dies for his confidant, and the woman looks for the one who pleases himself, but he doesn't know that the scholar also looks for the one who pleases himself."
Others came upstairs and laughed at him: "Come on, the place is full of guests, let's see when you dress up."
"Of course whoever pays the most will dress up for him." Sang Yi rubbed her hands and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go down right away, you send the tea and pastries down first, and I'll warm up what I prepared today." A few stories."
The man smiled and said: "Then you have to prepare well. There is a rich and powerful guest today. The big patron is very mysterious. You should remember to pay more attention later."
Sang Yi casually buttoned the buttons, and then opened a box of powder she found from Qin Niang in the museum, to cover the dark circles under her eyes caused by playing too late these days: "Oh? How rich are you, how angry you are." thick?"
The man continued to smile: "It's 3000 taels—so thick."
Sang Yi closed the lid with a snap, her eyes widened: "I'll come down right away."
At midnight, the visitors took their seats one after another, and those who couldn't sit crowded crowded at the door, looking up.The caller tapped the ruler symbolically, asking everyone to look up the stairs: "Come here, sir, please—"
On the other side, Sang Yi came downstairs in a delicate and bright color.The color of Qian is similar to crimson, but it is more relaxed and lively than crimson, which brings out his fair complexion, and also makes him look less old-fashioned, without the stereotype of a cross talker.If it really needs to be categorized, what Sang Yi is doing now will indeed go back to the storytelling business. He is so young, it is also a gimmick.
In order to keep a low profile, Sang Yi also wore a mask according to his long-standing habit. It was also a coincidence. Today, Xie Yuan came wearing a ghost mask painted with silver on a black background. Sang Yi happened to be Luo with black gold painted on a silver background. The brake mask is very correct.Holding a lamp in his hand, the young man walked down slowly, his eyes swept around, first he saw five large silver boxes piled up outside the vacant utility room on the other side, then he glanced again, and the window was close to the screen There is a person on one side, with a different temperament-to say that they are different, it is better to say that they are out of place.Others were sitting or half lying down, and many people were drinking tea with their legs crossed. They all came to listen to stories and eat melon seeds. Xie Yuan was the only one who was extremely beautiful, and a long knife could be attached to his back perfectly. .Although I have changed the clothes, I chose the most prudent and friendly styles and colors, but with the texture and stitching, others can know that they are not vulgar characters, either rich or expensive, this is waiting to pretend to be a pig What about the tiger?
Sang Yi picked Xie Yuan out of the crowd at a glance, almost didn't laugh out loud, but fortunately he stabilized his facial expression, and when he was about to reach the front of the crowd, he stopped suddenly.Everyone was eagerly waiting for his arrival, and suddenly they saw this young man paused in the last few steps, and suddenly reached out to lift off the mask, and pushed the delicate shell to his forehead, revealing a clean and beautiful face.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
Originally, some people speculated about Sang Yi's appearance maliciously, saying that this storyteller is so young, good at telling ghost stories, and wears a Rakshasa ghost mask on stage again and again. I'm afraid his appearance is really scary, so that he can't be seen. However, At this moment, he suddenly pushed up the mask, and everyone could see clearly how outstanding his appearance was—not the fierce and resolute one, but the overly delicate one, and because of the cold and sharp mouth, nose, eyebrows and eyes , and revealed an irresistible heroic spirit, so no one would recognize him as his daughter's family.
Some older audience members whispered: "If this young man is a woman, I am afraid that he will become a disaster for the country. Fortunately, he is a man, and he is not restricted like a daughter's family."
Some people also said: "It's not necessarily a man. There are many people who are playing with male companions. Look at the one over there who brought 3000 taels of silver as a reward. I'm afraid that's what he meant."
More people couldn't help admiring: "With such a talent for storytelling and such good looks, he really doesn't look like an ordinary person. I don't know which girl is lucky to marry him."
Sang Yi coughed, smiled at everyone, and the room was silent again.
Xie Yuan frowned, took a sip of the tea at hand, thought it was too strong, so he put it down again.He wanted to see Sang Yi more, but things didn't go his way. After Sang Yi bowed and made the opening ceremony, he turned behind the screen and began to tell the story in earnest.He can see a hazy shadow here, but the only advantage is that every time there is a gap between the boards, everyone takes turns to throw money and rewards, and his followers also help to call out the amount of silver taels.Others reward with a few pennies and a few shillings, but at most it is only a few taels. The price of a pot of Biluochun is only 1000 taels for him. After the three stories are told, 3000 taels are just given away. There were a lot of envious and awe-inspiring eyes.
At the end of the session, Sang thought of the thank-you list for the tippers, and also put Xie Yuan's name at the end.In order to prevent Sang Yi from recognizing him, Xie Yuan deliberately used an alias, and with a flash of inspiration in his mind, he called the three words "Shanxi guest", thinking that it would be more friendly to pronounce it.People who came to the teahouse often used aliases in order to express elegance, so Sang Yi paused after reading many names such as "Sichuan Xiaoxiaosheng", "Pingshanyan is not cold", "Baling does not hang a sword", and finally He also read out the three words Shanxi guest, and then paused and said: "This young master...rewarded 3000 taels. I am a scholar, I have no talent, and I have nothing to do. I tell some evil stories every night. Bo everyone just laughed, don’t squander your family’s wealth for me, a penny is a reward, and a reward of 1000 taels is also a reward, I am very grateful, barely living, there is nothing in return.”
Xie Yuan's entourage was quite clever, and he said quickly, "Don't worry, my lord. Our master is just trying to make you happy. If you are happy, he is also happy. There is only one thing I want to tell my husband. When you tell a story, you must pay attention to your body and your throat. , Be careful yourself, we listeners will be blessed."
After a conversation, the people in the audience applauded and applauded.A lot of people were very interested, and felt that there was something ambiguous and tricky, but on the surface it seemed that there was no such thing.Everyone is a gossip guy. Although it is not the standard drama of the noble son and the Liyuan Huadan, the story of the noble son and the poor storyteller is also exciting.
But Xie Yuan didn't stay long, after Sang Yi finished thanking, she took down the screen, put on the mask again, and packed her things on the stage.He also just raised his eyes for a rough look, and then went out through the side door together with his followers.
Seeing that everyone was almost gone, Sang specially quickened his pace and walked around from the back door, pretending to meet Xie Yuan by chance after get off work, and went to meet Xie Yuan head-on again.Xie Yuan was about to get on the sedan chair, when he turned his head and saw a familiar figure, he couldn't help but stop.
The young man stood a few feet away from him, bent slightly, and showed a gentle and beautiful smile: "Sir, go slowly."
Xie Yuan nodded slightly.
"Will the young master come tomorrow?" Sang Yi put her hands in her sleeves, raised her head and asked, "If you come, I will reserve your seat."
Xie Yuan made a gesture, and the attendant sent a message: "Thank you for coming." Then he closed the curtain of the car and beckoned the driver to leave.
Sang Yi watched the carriage slowly go away from behind, smiling slightly.
System: [Where to sleep tonight? 】
"Look for the melon skin." Sang Yi stretched her waist and made a decision, "It's so late, it will take half an hour to rush there, so I'll sleep until the afternoon tomorrow."
[No need to explain, when you are not rushing out of the city, you sleep until the afternoon every day, thank you. 】
In the middle of the night, there were not many carriages to solicit customers on the street. Sang Yi searched for a long time but couldn't find it. Finally, she went to the shopkeeper's soft and hard paw, asking for an old mule, and started on the road.The night wind blew his hands and feet cold, and the mule was not equipped with a saddle, which made Sang Yi's inner thigh ache, and when he went down to the ground, he felt that his legs were not his own.
He carried the wind lantern by himself, and walked in with one foot deep and one foot shallow.Just like last time, Xie Yuan still didn't go back to sleep in his own room, it was still the room where Sang Yi usually used to take a nap, it seemed that he made up his mind not to leave.
This time Sang Yi didn't wake him up, and Xie Yuan didn't expect him to come, so he rested as soon as he came back.At this moment, Sang Yi fetched water to wash up by herself, took a shower shivering with cold water, and then jumped onto the bed, snuggling up against Xie Yuan as a warming stove.
Xie Yuan didn't sleep deeply. In his dream, he touched a warm and dishonest paw. He thought it was the ghost from the story he heard today, so he grabbed it.When I held it in my hand, I realized that it was an acquaintance, and Sang Yi followed suit.
Xie Yuan grabbed him and stuffed him into his arms, his voice was still sleepy: "Why are you here, huh? Who allowed you to come here?"
"I want to come here by myself." Sang Yi clung to him like an octopus, which made Xie Yuan more and more sober: "Why are you so cold, you took a cold shower?"
"I was afraid that the boiling water would wake you up, so I washed it in cold water." Sang Yi admitted honestly, and then said, "Also, I didn't find a carriage, and I came here on a mule. My thigh hurts a lot. Washing it with hot water will make it worse. pain."
Xie Yuan said "Huh?" again, and got up to check his injury.Sang Yi's lantern was placed on the bedside, the light was negligibly dim, when he was about to say that he couldn't see anything, he suddenly remembered that Xie Yuan had night vision, so he fell silent.
Xie Yuan said in a low voice: "Why are you so reckless and careless, your legs are getting red, I'll get you some medicine and rub it on."
Sang Yi was held down by him and couldn't move, trying to put her legs together: "No need, I'm sleepy, go to sleep."
Xie Yuan had a firm attitude: "No." As he said that, he really got up and got out of bed, quickly took the medicine, lifted the quilt and applied the medicine to Sang Yi. Xie Yuan asked: "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm ticklish." Sang Yi said, "I'm still thinking, why can you see things clearly in the dark, but I can't?"
Xie Yuan saw that his injury was not serious, and his voice relaxed: "I hope you can see things clearly in the dark, so you don't have to be afraid. Why are you afraid of the dark and talk about ghosts and ghosts? Don't you panic?"
Sang Yi let out a "huh" and said again: "I was just afraid, so I came... came here."
Xie Yuan froze for a moment, then smiled softly.
"Alright."
The room became quiet again.
After a while, Xie Yuan finished rubbing the medicine on him, in order to prevent stickiness and discomfort, he might accidentally wipe it off at night, so he found a few clean ointments to stick on him: "Is there any pain? "
Sang Yi hummed sleepily: "No more..."
The warm palm moved slowly on the most tender piece of his skin, exploring every possible wound, and the more it felt wrong, Sang Yi struggled a bit: "Don't touch, there..."
Xie Yuan coaxed in a low voice: "Does it hurt here?"
"...And, what about here?"
Sang Yi's face quickly turned red. After twisting for a while, he simply gave up resisting and followed Xie Yuan's movements to hug his neck, begging for a kiss obediently and obediently. Xie Yuan smiled softly , set fires everywhere on him, tender and lingering.The night is long, and this sweet and warm affair seems to be able to smoke through the window to the flowers and plants in the yard, which is fragrant and intoxicating.
After that, Xie Yuan was free, and every night he would go to listen to Sang Yi's ghost stories.However, unlike the first day, he no longer asked people to prepare only one carriage, but prepared two carriages to drive.One side was prepared for himself, and he left after listening to it, and the other side was to pick up Sang Yi after he left for a while. He had specifically instructed the driver not to drive too fast, so that he could leave some The time to tidy up is to prevent Sang Yi from being exposed when she comes back, and she doesn't know that she has already penetrated through the gang a long time ago.
One of the two was obsessed with acting, while the other kept silent, but within two days, an unexpected visitor came.Sang Yi usually occupies the storytelling place on a high platform near the window, and there is a half-circle outside the wall.Xie Yuan's place is the best position here. Although you can't see Sang Yi's face, but the table is placed by this side, you can also see him reaching for the ruler from time to time, and there is a "snap" when he speaks the most frightening part Everyone was so frightened that the flowers and branches trembled, the white hand retracted, and the owner of the hand was also very proud to secretly hold back a smile. Occasionally, when he got close to the table, he could see half of his face. jaw.
As for another unique position, Xie Yuan never paid attention to it.That is in the middle of the first row directly in front of the screen, the closest to Sang Yi, if you want to tease, the voice is the loudest, once the answer is good, it can also attract the attention of the storyteller, and the tea boy will take care of it. A little snack and tea.Those who occupy this position are usually idlers in the market, who just eat and drink for nothing in teahouses all day long, just to pass the time.
As a result, on this day, a master like a son happened to come, offered a few taels of silver, politely invited the people in this place to leave, and then occupied this position by himself.Xie Yuan didn't care at first, but after Sang Yi came on stage, everyone in the audience could tell that something was wrong - that young man took the best place to answer the conversation, and when Sang Yi threw out any stalks, he answered them with a sharp tongue. , eyes full of admiration and appreciation, the fiery feeling almost overflowed.When it was time to reward, the man raised his eyelids and glanced at Xie Yuan, his voice was not too loud, just enough to reach his ears: "I'm not like the Shanxi guest who spent a lot of money last time. I'm used to being loose, and I don't bother to ask someone to carry it from the bank, so as not to be artificial. I like Mr.'s stories, and I take 200 taels of silver with me as a thank you for telling such a good story. Besides, I hear that Mr. is good at playing the flute. Those gold and jade ones are too vulgar and unworthy of sir, so I folded a bamboo branch and chiseled a piccolo for him, and asked him to accept it. Remember, sir, the name I gave you is Shui Dongliu. My surname is Shao, my first name is Shaochuan, and I hope you will remember me more."
The audience cheered in response to the occasion, and clapped their hands one after another, so Sang Yi's extra thank you list for that night included the words Shui Dongliu, and he specially smiled and said "Thank you, Mr. Shao", and then put the bamboo Put the flute and foot ruler aside, ready to step down like this.
Others don't know, they think Sang Yi is courteous and polite, but they don't know that he almost died laughing behind him - today this person made it clear that he was coming for him, but in his conversation, he was running on Xie Yuan who was very popular a few days ago, one is to say Giving gold and jade is too vulgar and contrived, and the second is to praise himself for his elegance.Since he saw Xie Yuan coming last time and deliberately showed his face in front of everyone, the number of people who came to the teahouse to listen to his story has increased several times, all wanting to see his demeanor, but unfortunately, he Since then, no one has ever seen his true colors.
Sang Yi quietly wrote to the system: "Is the city lord gone?"
[Not yet, you can go and have a look at your melon skin now, he hates it so much, but he can't do anything well, he's trying to calm down. 】
Sang Yi smiled: "It's okay, I'll help him calm down."
He put on the mask again and went out to talk to Xie Yuan.Xie Yuan hadn't left yet, his face was dark at first, but when he saw Sang Yi coming over, he relaxed his mind a little, stopped and waited for him to speak.
Sang Yi bowed to him politely: "Young Master, stay here. These days, I feel that I am very destined to be with you. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to invite you to Mingyue Tower to enjoy the moon and eat wine together in three days?"
Xie Yuan didn't even think about it, and nodded directly.Sang Yi was too close to him, and Xie Yuan was afraid that he would recognize him, so he quickly turned his head and prepared to leave with his entourage.
But Sang Yi refused to let him go, and asked in a warm voice: "Master, I have a sore throat. You saw me twice, but I never heard a word from you. Is that why you dislike me?"
Xie Yuan hurriedly turned around, asked someone to bring him a pen and paper, and wrote to Sang Yi with his left hand: "That's not the case, I have a throat disease, so I can't speak, please don't think too much, sir. I don't dislike sir."
"So, do you like me a little bit?" Sang suggested that he finished writing, took the pen in his hand naturally and affectionately, and wrote a prescription for him, "This prescription was given to me by my former boss. It works miraculously, and I don't need it now, although some of the medicinal materials are very precious and rare, but with the young master's financial resources, it should not be difficult. I also hope that you will be healthy and safe."
Xie Yuan was flustered by his shining eyes, and his face under the mask was abnormally hot.Thinking that Sang Yi just treats him as a stranger, or a teahouse guest who needs to be courteous, he feels a little inexplicable feeling in his heart, some sourness mixed with sweetness, which makes him seem to return to Mao in a day and night. The appearance of a boy.
Sang Yi reminded him of the events of his previous life, but it seemed that what he wanted was not his love—or, not only his love.Otherwise, why did he leave him again and again and never see him again?
Life is so long, and the flowers and plants are still changing, not to mention the hearts and feelings.Even though Xie Yuan was calm by nature, it was the first time for Yu Qingai. He couldn't figure out Sang Yi's thoughts, and he didn't know whether in Sang Yi's eyes, his identity wearing a mask was an ordinary guest, or... A stranger who made him feel so fond?Invite Mingyue Tower, if he goes, if he negotiates, what will Sang Yi say?
Not much time was given to him.After two and a half days of hesitation, Xie Yuan asked someone to reply, saying that he was willing to go to the appointment, and Sang Yi explained the location and the number of the private room.
In the middle, Sang Yi came back to look for him once, and the two of them made tea and played chess as usual, and took a nap while hugging each other.Sang Yi said: "Master, I won't stay tonight."
Xie Yuan asked mysteriously, "Where are you going?"
Sang Yi thought for a while: "I made an appointment with Xiaoqing to see the lantern."
Xie Yuan gave a "hmm" and said: "Alright, I also have an appointment with someone tonight, and I may come back later."
Sang Yi asked: "Are you busy recently? The bosses who talked about business a few days ago should have settled down."
Xie Yuan also remained calm and said: "It's nothing, just ordinary friends, let's go out and sit together."
The two had their own ghosts and made up lies to deceive each other, and then each found a car and headed for the same destination.
Xie Yuan was restless on the road, and considered whether he should take off his mask and catch Sang Yi back, but it seemed unreasonable to be jealous of himself.He thought about it all the way, and when he got to the place, he realized that even if he wanted to take Sang Yi back, it was absolutely impossible—it turned out that Sang Yi didn't just invite one person.The tea boy who came over to welcome Sang Yi rubbed his hands and said, "Hey hey, the young masters who are the top three in terms of money are invited, so as to express Mr. Xiao Sang's gratitude, hey hey, I invite you."
Xie Yuan's face turned dark again.He looked in, and his face became even darker - one of the people who came was the Mr. Shao who mocked and ran on him that day, and the other person was more interesting: it turned out to be Sang Qing.
Sang Qing was chatting happily with Mr. Shao, scratching his head embarrassingly: "I, I am Mr.'s apprentice, and also his loyal supporter. He scored in the top three, and presumably squeezed a guest's seat."
Mr. Shao applauded: "It's nothing, Mr. Sang will be equally happy if you can come."
It's like a posture of being the master of the house.
Xie Yuan walked in without looking sideways, without even looking at Mr. Shao, who also gave him a slight look, and then let out a cold snort.The smell of fire|powder filled the entire hall in an instant.
Only Sang Qing glanced at Xie Yuan, opened her mouth wide, and was dragged into a compartment by both hands in time——
When he turned around, he saw Sang Yi making a hissing gesture.
Sang Qing was obedient, and whispered: "Well, no, I mean, sir—why is he here? Why is he still wearing a mask?"
Sang Yi also whispered: "Don't worry about it, just pretend that you don't recognize him. As for the reason... I think it's just for fun."
Sang Qing suddenly realized: "It turns out that it's about fun, I understand, please go ahead, sir, just treat me as someone who comes here for dinner."
Sang Yi was very pleased with Sang Qing's debut, and when the banquet started, the four of them sat down one by one, and Sang Yi also came out to meet people with a clear face.During the dinner, the topic was unknowingly taken away by Shao Chuan, who was the first to speak and the most talked. Sang Qing had a silly and sweet face, and listened very carefully. Come.Sang Yi ate the food, and said a few words casually, neither humble nor overbearing, gentle and polite, Xie Yuan was the only one in the whole banquet who didn't say anything, the other wore a half mask, the whole person was indifferent and alienated, sitting by the window Going to drink, as if this person does not exist.
After the banquet, Sang Qing was drunk, and Sang Yi hadn't even touched a drop of wine, so someone took the little white rabbit back, and then sent Shao Chuan out.
He earnestly thanked: "Thank you, my lord, for supporting me. With you here, I have lost a lot of babbling skills."
Shao Chuan's expression was slightly disappointed: "You know that I usually don't talk so much, I just want to attract your attention. But today I know, it's just that Lang has affection."
Sang Yi smiled and nodded, and said again: "Thank you."
When everyone had left, he turned his head, went to sit down opposite Xie Yuan.Xie Yuan stared blankly, holding a jug of wine in his hand.
"If you have a bad voice, young master, it's better to drink less alcohol. Although the wine is sweet, it's bad for your voice." Sang Yi said.
Xie Yuan shook the cup in his hand, which means that this cup has been poured, don't waste it.Sang Yi leaned over, took the glass of wine from his hand, and drank it with her head up.
He drank very lightly, which is nothing new.Xie Yuan saw that his complexion turned crimson within a moment, and a layer of watery light appeared in his eyes, making the ends of his eyes and brows take on a spring color, and his warm breath rushed over him. Between the neck, and because the distance was too tight, the loose long hair fell softly in front of his eyes: "Actually, I have always wanted to ask you, but you never speak, and today you are not willing to show your true colors to the world. It's just you, and I don't know what I can do for you, or—what do you want?"
Xie Yuan raised his eyes to look at him, finally moved his mouth and said, "What do you think I want?" His voice was extremely low, and the tone of his voice was also different from usual, but he really couldn't be heard in this voice. identity of.
Sang Yi sat back and played with her wine glass: "I don't know, but I know what I want. I have a question, I want to ask sir."
He looked over and smiled slightly: "My lord, have you ever been married? If not, what do you think...how about me?"
Xie Yuan's face turned green.
Sang Yi, this guy, actually dared to hook up with someone behind his back!
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he said unnaturally: "I..." He didn't continue. After a while, as if he had made up his mind, he took a pen and paper and wrote a lot of words in the past, so that Sang Yi see.
Sang Yi saw it, and Xie Yuan wrote to him politely: "Your teeth are still young and inexperienced, so you should cherish and love yourself."
Sang Yi smiled: "I just like you. How can I say that I am self-deprecating or self-cherishing? If I like someone, I ask you if you want me. I also hope to be happy with you. If you really If you don't like it, I won't force you."
"Why me?" After a long silence, Xie Yuan wrote to him again, writing carefully, "I should be inconspicuous compared to... Sang Qing and Shao Chuan."
Sang Yi looked at him with her cheeks on her hands: "No reason, I noticed you naturally. You may feel that you are reticent, silent, and unnoticed, because you are not like Xiaoqing, who can act like a baby and know how to please others; Unlike Mr. Shao, who writes his likes and admirations in his eyes, you must be a person of high status, so you are not used to these human tricks."
Xie Yuan was silent.
Sang Yi bent her eyes: "I'm actually just a layman. Compared with flowers, birds, love and love, what I love is real gold and silver."
Xie Yuan wrote: "So you are doing it for my money and status?"
"Not at all." Sang Yi's eyes were bright and open, making it impossible to hate him anyway, "It's just that when I see you, I can think of me in the past. It's just that the status is very different. At that time, I followed you When I am alone, he has money and status, and there are many people who like him and want to get close to him. They are younger than me, know how to look at people better than me, and are better at acting like a baby than me, so they are more liked by that person. "
Xie Yuan's fingers stiffened.
Sang Yi continued: "I am shy by nature, and I also feel that if I act coquettishly, I will be suspected of competing for favor. I don't bother to do such a thing. But that person just likes that kind of thing. He told me more than once, If I also know some tricks of acting like a baby, then he will like me more and I will have a better future. I am a rebellious person, and I don’t want to do what others want me to do. Everyone says I can act like a baby Children have sweets to eat. I don't hate children who act like a baby, but I also pay more attention to those who are timid and dare not speak. There are many people who say good things to me and praise me, but you are the only one who never A guest who never asks for anything.”
"It's that person's fault, not yours." Xie Yuan said slowly, "At that time... if that person could have sensed his feelings for you, he wouldn't have treated you like that. You are so good, you deserve to be loved by everyone. People like to love."
At this point, he remembered the short farewell with Xie Yue in the fleeting moment.On the last side, his father looked at him and sighed softly:
——"I like you very much, because you are the child who resembles me the most. You have the same eyebrows and eyes, and the same heart. You look arrogant and cold. When I go back to the mansion on weekdays, I don't see you take the initiative to serve me at my knees." Accompanying. Other children know how to please me, act coquettishly to please me, but you don't know how to do this. Others call me daddy in a sweet voice, but you call me my father, and you never change your words. "
At that time, he was rebellious, he said he was indifferent, but he still cared in his heart, so he said that he was past the age of acting like a baby.
It's just because I know that if I act like a baby, I won't get the love of others. Once I get it, it's just superficial liking and favor. It's what I asked for, and it doesn't really belong to him.Xie Yue's love is for others, not for his mother who was born as a singer, nor for Xie Yuan, who has a dark personality.He envied his elder sister since he was a child, envied that Xie Zhiyan was the apple of Xie Yue's eye, who was so pampered, even if he ran away from home later, he could get the promise of the family to take care of him for the rest of his life.He envied her, but not jealousy. The emotion called jealousy only surfaced for a moment when he heard Sang affectionately playing the flute for others, and then abandoned him.
Xie Yuan wrote earnestly: "But I think, if that person said this to you, it might just be... to see how you act like a baby to him, to see how you depend on him. Mister is steady and self-reliant, cool and dignified. , presumably without the support of others, you can be both right and left, and there is no leak. If you like someone, and you want the person you like to get close to you, you will also have such a request. This is what you think, not a means."
Sang Yi looked at him for a while: "Maybe, it's just that with that person, it's just a means."
"What if I say no?" Xie Yuan threw down the pen and paper in his hand, and said in a trembling voice, "At that time... I didn't mean to tease you, after all, I hope you can ask me a little more I was stupid at the time, and I always felt that the person I brought out with my hands was qualified to ask for anything and could stand shoulder to shoulder with anyone around me, but you are a fool, you are not greedy at all, others say you like me, I I couldn't believe it either. When I found out later that I always liked you, you left me."
Xie Yuan took off his mask, calmed down, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's my fault."
Sang Yi looked at him, but said nothing.
"You recognized me a long time ago, didn't you?" Xie Yuan asked, then smiled wryly, "Am I... quite stupid?"
"You're not stupid." A smile flashed across Sang Yi's eyes, and she lowered her voice, "You're just... a bit mediocre."
Xie Yuan looked at the tea on the table and said softly, "I'm so naive. I've been acting affectionate for the past few years, but I didn't expect to make you sad."
Sang Yi looked at him quietly.
Xie Yuan stood up and looked away: "I'm leaving."
The sourness and sweetness that filled the cavity were crushed at this moment, slowly evaporated and disappeared, and slipped away from the tip of his heart.He forgot to put on his mask, and even looked for the wrong exit. He bumped back and forth a few times at the door of the side room, and finally found the way downstairs.He took a step forward, but heard the sound of footsteps behind him chasing up, a hand reached out and held his hand firmly.
"Go slowly first." Sang Yi tugged at him, and suddenly asked, "My lord, you gave me something, and then converted it into a teahouse to listen to my storytelling and reward money. Can I understand that you are pursuing And me?"
Xie Yuan froze.
"If possible, then I have something to tell you. Please turn around and look at me." Sang Yi let go of his hand, stopped seriously, and waited for the person in front of him to turn around.
After a while, Xie Yuan finally turned around, lowered his eyes, and looked into his eyes silently.
Sang Yi stood on tiptoe, grabbed his collar and kissed him directly, almost knocking Xie Yuan to the wall—this kiss was fierce and forceful, serious and cautious, as if it was a kiss that had been planned for a long time.Xie Yuan was shrouded in shock and unknown joy, together with a sore feeling in his chest, he stretched out his hand and hugged Sang Yi's back tightly, bent slightly, cooperating with him and demanding him.
Sang Yi's eyes were as bright as stars, panting slightly: "I like you."
"Five years ago, the moment you took me home, you wanted to say, I like you."
3000 taels of silver, enough to carry five large boxes.Xie Yuan never kept so much cash at home, but his subordinates ran to the bank to exchange the bank notes, and then sent them to Xie Yuan before Sang Yi's place.
As the evening progresses, there are more and more people in the teahouse. After the deserted appearance during the day, it is no longer only the elderly who come to drink a few cups of tea when they are walking around.Sang Yi has adopted a completely different management method from Nanlou in the business of teahouses—as we all know, Nanlou is a gold-selling shop, and the people who come and go are either rich or expensive, and young men from ordinary families don’t have the financial resources to go there, so naturally there are few A place to have fun and relax.Sangyi’s teahouse is different. Although the people are from the same group in the South Building, the money for tea and snacks are really cheap. A sum of money, they earned a lot of money.
Under such circumstances, Xie Yuan approached the teahouse alone wearing a black and silver mask, followed by a mighty dozen or so people, who immediately attracted everyone's attention and whispered whether they came to kick the teahouse .Xie Yuan was also keenly aware of his abruptness, so he waved his hand to get everyone around him to back off. He quietly chose a seat in front of the window, and adjusted the mask on his face, pretending to be a passerby.
Behind him, the attendants also followed suit——opened the five big boxes before stepping back, a large piece of white flowers, neatly displayed in the center of the venue, almost blinding everyone's eyes.
Several tea boys had never seen the world, so they came to ask in fear.Xie Yuan smiled and kept silent, the only remaining follower by his side laughed and said: "This is the money that the master brought over as a reward, everyone return to their places, we just came to have a good time."
The people around gasped.
Sang Yi only spent 200 taels of silver when he purchased this teahouse, and the money Xie Yuan brought was enough to buy fifteen teahouses like this, but this person said——just tipping money?
How rich is this?
"How stupid is this person?" In the tea room further back, a few tea boys whispered, shaking their heads with pity, and guessed who the money was going to be rewarded to.
The shopkeeper raised his eyelids from behind, and said faintly: "Who else can I give it to? Although he is wearing a mask, that person can be seen as our big boss, Boss Xie. It's so late now, obviously he wants to catch up with the ghost story of the second boss at midnight." The venue—wasn’t it the same battle he came last time? At that time, our second boss went out to meet a beautiful woman, and that master came over in a hurry to find someone. We all thought he was a kicker and sent him away, remember?”
Tea Boy No. [-] pondered and said: "It seems that there is such a thing. You said, if you take such care and care, is our second boss the illegitimate child of the big boss?"
The shopkeeper said quietly again: "I don't have such a young father, and I don't have such a big son. I think your head is caught by the door. Peel ten plates of melon seeds and think about it."
No. [-] silently went to peel the melon seeds.
Another tea boy No. [-] was unconvinced: "Then why did the big boss take so much trouble to come to find the second boss? In the past, the second boss had been by his side for so many years, why did he still think that he couldn't recognize him? I’ve heard of such simple and rude flattery.”
The shopkeeper sighed: "How do you say that, love makes people blind, he feels that Xiao Sang can't recognize him, then it's over, if a person likes another person with all his heart, his brain will naturally It’s not easy. Why are you looking at me? I didn’t see that one of them has a heart and the other concubine has a heart but is stupid, so you go and peel the melon seeds.”
The tea boy went over to peel the melon seeds.
The shopkeeper clapped his hands again, and called another person over: "Come on, go up and look for our stupid fellow, and tell him that the big benefactor is here."
Sang Yi changes clothes upstairs.Now he thinks he is successful in his career, and he says he doesn't care, but he is actually very proud in his heart. This also determines that he also becomes shy during the preparation process before the court, and it takes a lot of money to pick out clothes. Time, no longer catch which one is which as before.
Here, he chose a silky green dress, and said to the mirror with emotion: "The so-called scholar dies for his confidant, and the woman looks for the one who pleases himself, but he doesn't know that the scholar also looks for the one who pleases himself."
Others came upstairs and laughed at him: "Come on, the place is full of guests, let's see when you dress up."
"Of course whoever pays the most will dress up for him." Sang Yi rubbed her hands and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go down right away, you send the tea and pastries down first, and I'll warm up what I prepared today." A few stories."
The man smiled and said: "Then you have to prepare well. There is a rich and powerful guest today. The big patron is very mysterious. You should remember to pay more attention later."
Sang Yi casually buttoned the buttons, and then opened a box of powder she found from Qin Niang in the museum, to cover the dark circles under her eyes caused by playing too late these days: "Oh? How rich are you, how angry you are." thick?"
The man continued to smile: "It's 3000 taels—so thick."
Sang Yi closed the lid with a snap, her eyes widened: "I'll come down right away."
At midnight, the visitors took their seats one after another, and those who couldn't sit crowded crowded at the door, looking up.The caller tapped the ruler symbolically, asking everyone to look up the stairs: "Come here, sir, please—"
On the other side, Sang Yi came downstairs in a delicate and bright color.The color of Qian is similar to crimson, but it is more relaxed and lively than crimson, which brings out his fair complexion, and also makes him look less old-fashioned, without the stereotype of a cross talker.If it really needs to be categorized, what Sang Yi is doing now will indeed go back to the storytelling business. He is so young, it is also a gimmick.
In order to keep a low profile, Sang Yi also wore a mask according to his long-standing habit. It was also a coincidence. Today, Xie Yuan came wearing a ghost mask painted with silver on a black background. Sang Yi happened to be Luo with black gold painted on a silver background. The brake mask is very correct.Holding a lamp in his hand, the young man walked down slowly, his eyes swept around, first he saw five large silver boxes piled up outside the vacant utility room on the other side, then he glanced again, and the window was close to the screen There is a person on one side, with a different temperament-to say that they are different, it is better to say that they are out of place.Others were sitting or half lying down, and many people were drinking tea with their legs crossed. They all came to listen to stories and eat melon seeds. Xie Yuan was the only one who was extremely beautiful, and a long knife could be attached to his back perfectly. .Although I have changed the clothes, I chose the most prudent and friendly styles and colors, but with the texture and stitching, others can know that they are not vulgar characters, either rich or expensive, this is waiting to pretend to be a pig What about the tiger?
Sang Yi picked Xie Yuan out of the crowd at a glance, almost didn't laugh out loud, but fortunately he stabilized his facial expression, and when he was about to reach the front of the crowd, he stopped suddenly.Everyone was eagerly waiting for his arrival, and suddenly they saw this young man paused in the last few steps, and suddenly reached out to lift off the mask, and pushed the delicate shell to his forehead, revealing a clean and beautiful face.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
Originally, some people speculated about Sang Yi's appearance maliciously, saying that this storyteller is so young, good at telling ghost stories, and wears a Rakshasa ghost mask on stage again and again. I'm afraid his appearance is really scary, so that he can't be seen. However, At this moment, he suddenly pushed up the mask, and everyone could see clearly how outstanding his appearance was—not the fierce and resolute one, but the overly delicate one, and because of the cold and sharp mouth, nose, eyebrows and eyes , and revealed an irresistible heroic spirit, so no one would recognize him as his daughter's family.
Some older audience members whispered: "If this young man is a woman, I am afraid that he will become a disaster for the country. Fortunately, he is a man, and he is not restricted like a daughter's family."
Some people also said: "It's not necessarily a man. There are many people who are playing with male companions. Look at the one over there who brought 3000 taels of silver as a reward. I'm afraid that's what he meant."
More people couldn't help admiring: "With such a talent for storytelling and such good looks, he really doesn't look like an ordinary person. I don't know which girl is lucky to marry him."
Sang Yi coughed, smiled at everyone, and the room was silent again.
Xie Yuan frowned, took a sip of the tea at hand, thought it was too strong, so he put it down again.He wanted to see Sang Yi more, but things didn't go his way. After Sang Yi bowed and made the opening ceremony, he turned behind the screen and began to tell the story in earnest.He can see a hazy shadow here, but the only advantage is that every time there is a gap between the boards, everyone takes turns to throw money and rewards, and his followers also help to call out the amount of silver taels.Others reward with a few pennies and a few shillings, but at most it is only a few taels. The price of a pot of Biluochun is only 1000 taels for him. After the three stories are told, 3000 taels are just given away. There were a lot of envious and awe-inspiring eyes.
At the end of the session, Sang thought of the thank-you list for the tippers, and also put Xie Yuan's name at the end.In order to prevent Sang Yi from recognizing him, Xie Yuan deliberately used an alias, and with a flash of inspiration in his mind, he called the three words "Shanxi guest", thinking that it would be more friendly to pronounce it.People who came to the teahouse often used aliases in order to express elegance, so Sang Yi paused after reading many names such as "Sichuan Xiaoxiaosheng", "Pingshanyan is not cold", "Baling does not hang a sword", and finally He also read out the three words Shanxi guest, and then paused and said: "This young master...rewarded 3000 taels. I am a scholar, I have no talent, and I have nothing to do. I tell some evil stories every night. Bo everyone just laughed, don’t squander your family’s wealth for me, a penny is a reward, and a reward of 1000 taels is also a reward, I am very grateful, barely living, there is nothing in return.”
Xie Yuan's entourage was quite clever, and he said quickly, "Don't worry, my lord. Our master is just trying to make you happy. If you are happy, he is also happy. There is only one thing I want to tell my husband. When you tell a story, you must pay attention to your body and your throat. , Be careful yourself, we listeners will be blessed."
After a conversation, the people in the audience applauded and applauded.A lot of people were very interested, and felt that there was something ambiguous and tricky, but on the surface it seemed that there was no such thing.Everyone is a gossip guy. Although it is not the standard drama of the noble son and the Liyuan Huadan, the story of the noble son and the poor storyteller is also exciting.
But Xie Yuan didn't stay long, after Sang Yi finished thanking, she took down the screen, put on the mask again, and packed her things on the stage.He also just raised his eyes for a rough look, and then went out through the side door together with his followers.
Seeing that everyone was almost gone, Sang specially quickened his pace and walked around from the back door, pretending to meet Xie Yuan by chance after get off work, and went to meet Xie Yuan head-on again.Xie Yuan was about to get on the sedan chair, when he turned his head and saw a familiar figure, he couldn't help but stop.
The young man stood a few feet away from him, bent slightly, and showed a gentle and beautiful smile: "Sir, go slowly."
Xie Yuan nodded slightly.
"Will the young master come tomorrow?" Sang Yi put her hands in her sleeves, raised her head and asked, "If you come, I will reserve your seat."
Xie Yuan made a gesture, and the attendant sent a message: "Thank you for coming." Then he closed the curtain of the car and beckoned the driver to leave.
Sang Yi watched the carriage slowly go away from behind, smiling slightly.
System: [Where to sleep tonight? 】
"Look for the melon skin." Sang Yi stretched her waist and made a decision, "It's so late, it will take half an hour to rush there, so I'll sleep until the afternoon tomorrow."
[No need to explain, when you are not rushing out of the city, you sleep until the afternoon every day, thank you. 】
In the middle of the night, there were not many carriages to solicit customers on the street. Sang Yi searched for a long time but couldn't find it. Finally, she went to the shopkeeper's soft and hard paw, asking for an old mule, and started on the road.The night wind blew his hands and feet cold, and the mule was not equipped with a saddle, which made Sang Yi's inner thigh ache, and when he went down to the ground, he felt that his legs were not his own.
He carried the wind lantern by himself, and walked in with one foot deep and one foot shallow.Just like last time, Xie Yuan still didn't go back to sleep in his own room, it was still the room where Sang Yi usually used to take a nap, it seemed that he made up his mind not to leave.
This time Sang Yi didn't wake him up, and Xie Yuan didn't expect him to come, so he rested as soon as he came back.At this moment, Sang Yi fetched water to wash up by herself, took a shower shivering with cold water, and then jumped onto the bed, snuggling up against Xie Yuan as a warming stove.
Xie Yuan didn't sleep deeply. In his dream, he touched a warm and dishonest paw. He thought it was the ghost from the story he heard today, so he grabbed it.When I held it in my hand, I realized that it was an acquaintance, and Sang Yi followed suit.
Xie Yuan grabbed him and stuffed him into his arms, his voice was still sleepy: "Why are you here, huh? Who allowed you to come here?"
"I want to come here by myself." Sang Yi clung to him like an octopus, which made Xie Yuan more and more sober: "Why are you so cold, you took a cold shower?"
"I was afraid that the boiling water would wake you up, so I washed it in cold water." Sang Yi admitted honestly, and then said, "Also, I didn't find a carriage, and I came here on a mule. My thigh hurts a lot. Washing it with hot water will make it worse. pain."
Xie Yuan said "Huh?" again, and got up to check his injury.Sang Yi's lantern was placed on the bedside, the light was negligibly dim, when he was about to say that he couldn't see anything, he suddenly remembered that Xie Yuan had night vision, so he fell silent.
Xie Yuan said in a low voice: "Why are you so reckless and careless, your legs are getting red, I'll get you some medicine and rub it on."
Sang Yi was held down by him and couldn't move, trying to put her legs together: "No need, I'm sleepy, go to sleep."
Xie Yuan had a firm attitude: "No." As he said that, he really got up and got out of bed, quickly took the medicine, lifted the quilt and applied the medicine to Sang Yi. Xie Yuan asked: "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm ticklish." Sang Yi said, "I'm still thinking, why can you see things clearly in the dark, but I can't?"
Xie Yuan saw that his injury was not serious, and his voice relaxed: "I hope you can see things clearly in the dark, so you don't have to be afraid. Why are you afraid of the dark and talk about ghosts and ghosts? Don't you panic?"
Sang Yi let out a "huh" and said again: "I was just afraid, so I came... came here."
Xie Yuan froze for a moment, then smiled softly.
"Alright."
The room became quiet again.
After a while, Xie Yuan finished rubbing the medicine on him, in order to prevent stickiness and discomfort, he might accidentally wipe it off at night, so he found a few clean ointments to stick on him: "Is there any pain? "
Sang Yi hummed sleepily: "No more..."
The warm palm moved slowly on the most tender piece of his skin, exploring every possible wound, and the more it felt wrong, Sang Yi struggled a bit: "Don't touch, there..."
Xie Yuan coaxed in a low voice: "Does it hurt here?"
"...And, what about here?"
Sang Yi's face quickly turned red. After twisting for a while, he simply gave up resisting and followed Xie Yuan's movements to hug his neck, begging for a kiss obediently and obediently. Xie Yuan smiled softly , set fires everywhere on him, tender and lingering.The night is long, and this sweet and warm affair seems to be able to smoke through the window to the flowers and plants in the yard, which is fragrant and intoxicating.
After that, Xie Yuan was free, and every night he would go to listen to Sang Yi's ghost stories.However, unlike the first day, he no longer asked people to prepare only one carriage, but prepared two carriages to drive.One side was prepared for himself, and he left after listening to it, and the other side was to pick up Sang Yi after he left for a while. He had specifically instructed the driver not to drive too fast, so that he could leave some The time to tidy up is to prevent Sang Yi from being exposed when she comes back, and she doesn't know that she has already penetrated through the gang a long time ago.
One of the two was obsessed with acting, while the other kept silent, but within two days, an unexpected visitor came.Sang Yi usually occupies the storytelling place on a high platform near the window, and there is a half-circle outside the wall.Xie Yuan's place is the best position here. Although you can't see Sang Yi's face, but the table is placed by this side, you can also see him reaching for the ruler from time to time, and there is a "snap" when he speaks the most frightening part Everyone was so frightened that the flowers and branches trembled, the white hand retracted, and the owner of the hand was also very proud to secretly hold back a smile. Occasionally, when he got close to the table, he could see half of his face. jaw.
As for another unique position, Xie Yuan never paid attention to it.That is in the middle of the first row directly in front of the screen, the closest to Sang Yi, if you want to tease, the voice is the loudest, once the answer is good, it can also attract the attention of the storyteller, and the tea boy will take care of it. A little snack and tea.Those who occupy this position are usually idlers in the market, who just eat and drink for nothing in teahouses all day long, just to pass the time.
As a result, on this day, a master like a son happened to come, offered a few taels of silver, politely invited the people in this place to leave, and then occupied this position by himself.Xie Yuan didn't care at first, but after Sang Yi came on stage, everyone in the audience could tell that something was wrong - that young man took the best place to answer the conversation, and when Sang Yi threw out any stalks, he answered them with a sharp tongue. , eyes full of admiration and appreciation, the fiery feeling almost overflowed.When it was time to reward, the man raised his eyelids and glanced at Xie Yuan, his voice was not too loud, just enough to reach his ears: "I'm not like the Shanxi guest who spent a lot of money last time. I'm used to being loose, and I don't bother to ask someone to carry it from the bank, so as not to be artificial. I like Mr.'s stories, and I take 200 taels of silver with me as a thank you for telling such a good story. Besides, I hear that Mr. is good at playing the flute. Those gold and jade ones are too vulgar and unworthy of sir, so I folded a bamboo branch and chiseled a piccolo for him, and asked him to accept it. Remember, sir, the name I gave you is Shui Dongliu. My surname is Shao, my first name is Shaochuan, and I hope you will remember me more."
The audience cheered in response to the occasion, and clapped their hands one after another, so Sang Yi's extra thank you list for that night included the words Shui Dongliu, and he specially smiled and said "Thank you, Mr. Shao", and then put the bamboo Put the flute and foot ruler aside, ready to step down like this.
Others don't know, they think Sang Yi is courteous and polite, but they don't know that he almost died laughing behind him - today this person made it clear that he was coming for him, but in his conversation, he was running on Xie Yuan who was very popular a few days ago, one is to say Giving gold and jade is too vulgar and contrived, and the second is to praise himself for his elegance.Since he saw Xie Yuan coming last time and deliberately showed his face in front of everyone, the number of people who came to the teahouse to listen to his story has increased several times, all wanting to see his demeanor, but unfortunately, he Since then, no one has ever seen his true colors.
Sang Yi quietly wrote to the system: "Is the city lord gone?"
[Not yet, you can go and have a look at your melon skin now, he hates it so much, but he can't do anything well, he's trying to calm down. 】
Sang Yi smiled: "It's okay, I'll help him calm down."
He put on the mask again and went out to talk to Xie Yuan.Xie Yuan hadn't left yet, his face was dark at first, but when he saw Sang Yi coming over, he relaxed his mind a little, stopped and waited for him to speak.
Sang Yi bowed to him politely: "Young Master, stay here. These days, I feel that I am very destined to be with you. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to invite you to Mingyue Tower to enjoy the moon and eat wine together in three days?"
Xie Yuan didn't even think about it, and nodded directly.Sang Yi was too close to him, and Xie Yuan was afraid that he would recognize him, so he quickly turned his head and prepared to leave with his entourage.
But Sang Yi refused to let him go, and asked in a warm voice: "Master, I have a sore throat. You saw me twice, but I never heard a word from you. Is that why you dislike me?"
Xie Yuan hurriedly turned around, asked someone to bring him a pen and paper, and wrote to Sang Yi with his left hand: "That's not the case, I have a throat disease, so I can't speak, please don't think too much, sir. I don't dislike sir."
"So, do you like me a little bit?" Sang suggested that he finished writing, took the pen in his hand naturally and affectionately, and wrote a prescription for him, "This prescription was given to me by my former boss. It works miraculously, and I don't need it now, although some of the medicinal materials are very precious and rare, but with the young master's financial resources, it should not be difficult. I also hope that you will be healthy and safe."
Xie Yuan was flustered by his shining eyes, and his face under the mask was abnormally hot.Thinking that Sang Yi just treats him as a stranger, or a teahouse guest who needs to be courteous, he feels a little inexplicable feeling in his heart, some sourness mixed with sweetness, which makes him seem to return to Mao in a day and night. The appearance of a boy.
Sang Yi reminded him of the events of his previous life, but it seemed that what he wanted was not his love—or, not only his love.Otherwise, why did he leave him again and again and never see him again?
Life is so long, and the flowers and plants are still changing, not to mention the hearts and feelings.Even though Xie Yuan was calm by nature, it was the first time for Yu Qingai. He couldn't figure out Sang Yi's thoughts, and he didn't know whether in Sang Yi's eyes, his identity wearing a mask was an ordinary guest, or... A stranger who made him feel so fond?Invite Mingyue Tower, if he goes, if he negotiates, what will Sang Yi say?
Not much time was given to him.After two and a half days of hesitation, Xie Yuan asked someone to reply, saying that he was willing to go to the appointment, and Sang Yi explained the location and the number of the private room.
In the middle, Sang Yi came back to look for him once, and the two of them made tea and played chess as usual, and took a nap while hugging each other.Sang Yi said: "Master, I won't stay tonight."
Xie Yuan asked mysteriously, "Where are you going?"
Sang Yi thought for a while: "I made an appointment with Xiaoqing to see the lantern."
Xie Yuan gave a "hmm" and said: "Alright, I also have an appointment with someone tonight, and I may come back later."
Sang Yi asked: "Are you busy recently? The bosses who talked about business a few days ago should have settled down."
Xie Yuan also remained calm and said: "It's nothing, just ordinary friends, let's go out and sit together."
The two had their own ghosts and made up lies to deceive each other, and then each found a car and headed for the same destination.
Xie Yuan was restless on the road, and considered whether he should take off his mask and catch Sang Yi back, but it seemed unreasonable to be jealous of himself.He thought about it all the way, and when he got to the place, he realized that even if he wanted to take Sang Yi back, it was absolutely impossible—it turned out that Sang Yi didn't just invite one person.The tea boy who came over to welcome Sang Yi rubbed his hands and said, "Hey hey, the young masters who are the top three in terms of money are invited, so as to express Mr. Xiao Sang's gratitude, hey hey, I invite you."
Xie Yuan's face turned dark again.He looked in, and his face became even darker - one of the people who came was the Mr. Shao who mocked and ran on him that day, and the other person was more interesting: it turned out to be Sang Qing.
Sang Qing was chatting happily with Mr. Shao, scratching his head embarrassingly: "I, I am Mr.'s apprentice, and also his loyal supporter. He scored in the top three, and presumably squeezed a guest's seat."
Mr. Shao applauded: "It's nothing, Mr. Sang will be equally happy if you can come."
It's like a posture of being the master of the house.
Xie Yuan walked in without looking sideways, without even looking at Mr. Shao, who also gave him a slight look, and then let out a cold snort.The smell of fire|powder filled the entire hall in an instant.
Only Sang Qing glanced at Xie Yuan, opened her mouth wide, and was dragged into a compartment by both hands in time——
When he turned around, he saw Sang Yi making a hissing gesture.
Sang Qing was obedient, and whispered: "Well, no, I mean, sir—why is he here? Why is he still wearing a mask?"
Sang Yi also whispered: "Don't worry about it, just pretend that you don't recognize him. As for the reason... I think it's just for fun."
Sang Qing suddenly realized: "It turns out that it's about fun, I understand, please go ahead, sir, just treat me as someone who comes here for dinner."
Sang Yi was very pleased with Sang Qing's debut, and when the banquet started, the four of them sat down one by one, and Sang Yi also came out to meet people with a clear face.During the dinner, the topic was unknowingly taken away by Shao Chuan, who was the first to speak and the most talked. Sang Qing had a silly and sweet face, and listened very carefully. Come.Sang Yi ate the food, and said a few words casually, neither humble nor overbearing, gentle and polite, Xie Yuan was the only one in the whole banquet who didn't say anything, the other wore a half mask, the whole person was indifferent and alienated, sitting by the window Going to drink, as if this person does not exist.
After the banquet, Sang Qing was drunk, and Sang Yi hadn't even touched a drop of wine, so someone took the little white rabbit back, and then sent Shao Chuan out.
He earnestly thanked: "Thank you, my lord, for supporting me. With you here, I have lost a lot of babbling skills."
Shao Chuan's expression was slightly disappointed: "You know that I usually don't talk so much, I just want to attract your attention. But today I know, it's just that Lang has affection."
Sang Yi smiled and nodded, and said again: "Thank you."
When everyone had left, he turned his head, went to sit down opposite Xie Yuan.Xie Yuan stared blankly, holding a jug of wine in his hand.
"If you have a bad voice, young master, it's better to drink less alcohol. Although the wine is sweet, it's bad for your voice." Sang Yi said.
Xie Yuan shook the cup in his hand, which means that this cup has been poured, don't waste it.Sang Yi leaned over, took the glass of wine from his hand, and drank it with her head up.
He drank very lightly, which is nothing new.Xie Yuan saw that his complexion turned crimson within a moment, and a layer of watery light appeared in his eyes, making the ends of his eyes and brows take on a spring color, and his warm breath rushed over him. Between the neck, and because the distance was too tight, the loose long hair fell softly in front of his eyes: "Actually, I have always wanted to ask you, but you never speak, and today you are not willing to show your true colors to the world. It's just you, and I don't know what I can do for you, or—what do you want?"
Xie Yuan raised his eyes to look at him, finally moved his mouth and said, "What do you think I want?" His voice was extremely low, and the tone of his voice was also different from usual, but he really couldn't be heard in this voice. identity of.
Sang Yi sat back and played with her wine glass: "I don't know, but I know what I want. I have a question, I want to ask sir."
He looked over and smiled slightly: "My lord, have you ever been married? If not, what do you think...how about me?"
Xie Yuan's face turned green.
Sang Yi, this guy, actually dared to hook up with someone behind his back!
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he said unnaturally: "I..." He didn't continue. After a while, as if he had made up his mind, he took a pen and paper and wrote a lot of words in the past, so that Sang Yi see.
Sang Yi saw it, and Xie Yuan wrote to him politely: "Your teeth are still young and inexperienced, so you should cherish and love yourself."
Sang Yi smiled: "I just like you. How can I say that I am self-deprecating or self-cherishing? If I like someone, I ask you if you want me. I also hope to be happy with you. If you really If you don't like it, I won't force you."
"Why me?" After a long silence, Xie Yuan wrote to him again, writing carefully, "I should be inconspicuous compared to... Sang Qing and Shao Chuan."
Sang Yi looked at him with her cheeks on her hands: "No reason, I noticed you naturally. You may feel that you are reticent, silent, and unnoticed, because you are not like Xiaoqing, who can act like a baby and know how to please others; Unlike Mr. Shao, who writes his likes and admirations in his eyes, you must be a person of high status, so you are not used to these human tricks."
Xie Yuan was silent.
Sang Yi bent her eyes: "I'm actually just a layman. Compared with flowers, birds, love and love, what I love is real gold and silver."
Xie Yuan wrote: "So you are doing it for my money and status?"
"Not at all." Sang Yi's eyes were bright and open, making it impossible to hate him anyway, "It's just that when I see you, I can think of me in the past. It's just that the status is very different. At that time, I followed you When I am alone, he has money and status, and there are many people who like him and want to get close to him. They are younger than me, know how to look at people better than me, and are better at acting like a baby than me, so they are more liked by that person. "
Xie Yuan's fingers stiffened.
Sang Yi continued: "I am shy by nature, and I also feel that if I act coquettishly, I will be suspected of competing for favor. I don't bother to do such a thing. But that person just likes that kind of thing. He told me more than once, If I also know some tricks of acting like a baby, then he will like me more and I will have a better future. I am a rebellious person, and I don’t want to do what others want me to do. Everyone says I can act like a baby Children have sweets to eat. I don't hate children who act like a baby, but I also pay more attention to those who are timid and dare not speak. There are many people who say good things to me and praise me, but you are the only one who never A guest who never asks for anything.”
"It's that person's fault, not yours." Xie Yuan said slowly, "At that time... if that person could have sensed his feelings for you, he wouldn't have treated you like that. You are so good, you deserve to be loved by everyone. People like to love."
At this point, he remembered the short farewell with Xie Yue in the fleeting moment.On the last side, his father looked at him and sighed softly:
——"I like you very much, because you are the child who resembles me the most. You have the same eyebrows and eyes, and the same heart. You look arrogant and cold. When I go back to the mansion on weekdays, I don't see you take the initiative to serve me at my knees." Accompanying. Other children know how to please me, act coquettishly to please me, but you don't know how to do this. Others call me daddy in a sweet voice, but you call me my father, and you never change your words. "
At that time, he was rebellious, he said he was indifferent, but he still cared in his heart, so he said that he was past the age of acting like a baby.
It's just because I know that if I act like a baby, I won't get the love of others. Once I get it, it's just superficial liking and favor. It's what I asked for, and it doesn't really belong to him.Xie Yue's love is for others, not for his mother who was born as a singer, nor for Xie Yuan, who has a dark personality.He envied his elder sister since he was a child, envied that Xie Zhiyan was the apple of Xie Yue's eye, who was so pampered, even if he ran away from home later, he could get the promise of the family to take care of him for the rest of his life.He envied her, but not jealousy. The emotion called jealousy only surfaced for a moment when he heard Sang affectionately playing the flute for others, and then abandoned him.
Xie Yuan wrote earnestly: "But I think, if that person said this to you, it might just be... to see how you act like a baby to him, to see how you depend on him. Mister is steady and self-reliant, cool and dignified. , presumably without the support of others, you can be both right and left, and there is no leak. If you like someone, and you want the person you like to get close to you, you will also have such a request. This is what you think, not a means."
Sang Yi looked at him for a while: "Maybe, it's just that with that person, it's just a means."
"What if I say no?" Xie Yuan threw down the pen and paper in his hand, and said in a trembling voice, "At that time... I didn't mean to tease you, after all, I hope you can ask me a little more I was stupid at the time, and I always felt that the person I brought out with my hands was qualified to ask for anything and could stand shoulder to shoulder with anyone around me, but you are a fool, you are not greedy at all, others say you like me, I I couldn't believe it either. When I found out later that I always liked you, you left me."
Xie Yuan took off his mask, calmed down, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's my fault."
Sang Yi looked at him, but said nothing.
"You recognized me a long time ago, didn't you?" Xie Yuan asked, then smiled wryly, "Am I... quite stupid?"
"You're not stupid." A smile flashed across Sang Yi's eyes, and she lowered her voice, "You're just... a bit mediocre."
Xie Yuan looked at the tea on the table and said softly, "I'm so naive. I've been acting affectionate for the past few years, but I didn't expect to make you sad."
Sang Yi looked at him quietly.
Xie Yuan stood up and looked away: "I'm leaving."
The sourness and sweetness that filled the cavity were crushed at this moment, slowly evaporated and disappeared, and slipped away from the tip of his heart.He forgot to put on his mask, and even looked for the wrong exit. He bumped back and forth a few times at the door of the side room, and finally found the way downstairs.He took a step forward, but heard the sound of footsteps behind him chasing up, a hand reached out and held his hand firmly.
"Go slowly first." Sang Yi tugged at him, and suddenly asked, "My lord, you gave me something, and then converted it into a teahouse to listen to my storytelling and reward money. Can I understand that you are pursuing And me?"
Xie Yuan froze.
"If possible, then I have something to tell you. Please turn around and look at me." Sang Yi let go of his hand, stopped seriously, and waited for the person in front of him to turn around.
After a while, Xie Yuan finally turned around, lowered his eyes, and looked into his eyes silently.
Sang Yi stood on tiptoe, grabbed his collar and kissed him directly, almost knocking Xie Yuan to the wall—this kiss was fierce and forceful, serious and cautious, as if it was a kiss that had been planned for a long time.Xie Yuan was shrouded in shock and unknown joy, together with a sore feeling in his chest, he stretched out his hand and hugged Sang Yi's back tightly, bent slightly, cooperating with him and demanding him.
Sang Yi's eyes were as bright as stars, panting slightly: "I like you."
"Five years ago, the moment you took me home, you wanted to say, I like you."
