[Comprehensive] Those years when I memorized the Analects of Confucius

Sincerely.

From the appearance point of view, it is indeed an ordinary sofa, but the existence of this sofa itself is incongruous compared with this house, because there are a few wooden stools and rattan chairs next to the wooden table. With the addition of a sofa, it is obviously a lot crowded. Compared with the comfortable and leisurely feeling of the whole house, the sofa is redundant.

So, this is actually... Transfiguration?

Kong Yun's heart moved slightly, and he raised his eyes and glanced at Salazar and Helga calmly—with their attainments in magic, it is obviously impossible to be deceived by such a small trick, but I don't know why , Neither Helga nor Salazar seemed to intend to directly expose it.

"It seems that we came at the wrong time." As if not noticing the abnormality of the sofa, Salazar said regretfully: "Sipley doesn't seem to be here."

"Maybe he just had to deal with some things and went out temporarily." Helga said, his eyes stayed on the teacup with the fragrance still floating on the table, and the red-haired witch smiled: "Why don't we just wait here for him to come back? I don't think he can bear to watch his black tea cool down."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Kong Yun noticed that the moment Helga finished speaking, the sofa that stood still seemed to move back quietly... trembling?

It can be seen that Salazar and Helga should have a good relationship with the owner of this house, otherwise the two would not point out the other's whereabouts after clearly confirming the other's whereabouts, but instead pulled the chair and sat down as if nothing had happened. down.

Realizing this, Kong Yun and Draco didn't point it out ignorantly, and simply followed the two, took advantage of the opportunity to find a chair and sat down.

"Sipley is still so good at enjoying life." Helga said with emotion as he glanced at the various objects in the room: "Over the years, he is the only one who doesn't seem to be influenced by Muggles at all."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

After Helga said this, Kong Yun quickly noticed that this house was indeed different from the usual homes of wizards——

Here, you can't find the dark atmosphere that a wizard should have. On the contrary, the windows of the house face the brightest side, and the flowers and plants in the house grow luxuriantly, as if they have been carefully illuminated, and the furniture is also How to be comfortable.

Compared with other wizards who were forced to hide by Muggles at the same time, this Mr. Stuart can be said to be very calm.

Perhaps, this was the reason why the other party was unwilling to accept Salazar and Helga's invitation to become the professor of Potions at Hogwarts?

From the perspective of 1000 years later, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff, who established Hogwarts, are of course the most important existences in the history of wizards, but in 1000 years Now, in the eyes of the wizards at that time, this ideal of establishing a school is probably more like asking for trouble than an epoch-making feat.

And the owner of the house in front of him obviously prefers to live a peaceful, leisurely and comfortable life alone rather than asking for trouble.

"Enjoy it, but enjoy it. It's a pity that his vision and aesthetics are still so bad." Salazar curled his lips, disapproving: "This kind of inferior black tea, I have the nerve to take it out to entertain guests."

Kong Yun suspected that he did it on purpose.

Because just the second after his voice fell, the "sofa" that was still standing there suddenly returned to its original shape, and turned into a wizard robe who was also wearing black. Middle-aged wizard with curly beard.He looked a little angry, and his blue eyes stared at Slytherin unhappily: "My black tea was not prepared for you—besides, a guy like you who can use the food curse to produce the effect of the unforgivable curse , what qualifications do you have to evaluate my black tea?"

There is a look that you can say bad things about me, but you are not allowed to say bad things about black tea.

Using the Food Curse to have the effect of... the Unforgivable Curse?

Kong Yun blinked his eyes, a little suspicious of the authenticity of this sentence, but Salazar's face quickly darkened undoubtedly proved the authenticity of the other party's words, and then he thought of Mr. Slytherin's previous remarks in the hotel... …

Not wanting to face the embarrassing Head Slytherin, the junior Hufflepuff coughed lightly, suppressed the urge to laugh, and whispered to Helga solemnly: "...This is my first Come out once, Professor Hufflepuff, can I go around with Draco?"

Although he really wanted to stay longer, the wizard in front of him obviously had a close relationship with Salazar and Helga, and some words were naturally not something they could listen to.

Draco was slightly taken aback, and immediately understood what Kong Yun meant. When Helga consulted and looked over, the junior Slytherin nodded silently.

"Go, remember not to leave too far away." Helga warned, and then readily let go.

but……

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Mr. Slytherin, who had an uneasy face but didn't know how to refute. Draco thought about it, and decided to help him—before he turned and left the room, he lowered his The senior Slytherin cleared his throat, and said calmly: "The bar-shaped tea leaves should be round, straight, tight and thin, and the black tea leaves should be dark and lustrous. Although the aroma of Mr. Stuart's black tea is long-lasting, it is not pure enough. It's not really good tea."

It's not polite to intervene when two adult wizards are arguing (arguing), so Draco dropped the sentence very quickly, turned around and slipped out of the house.

It is also very childlike.

But Salazar was satisfied.

Seeing that the door of the house was closed by Kong Yun thoughtfully, and the situation here turned around again, and the two of them were about to continue fighting each other over the issue of black tea, Helga interrupted them in a timely manner: "Long time no see, Xi Puri, how have you been lately?"

An extremely ordinary greeting, but Cyprie Stewart's expression changed slightly. The man's eyes flickered slightly, and he sat lazily on the chair, looking past the two old friends and looking at the vast snow field outside the window. , but his tone became flat: "Didn't you see it all?"

"No Muggles to disturb, no food to worry about, no need to be scared, and no need to live like a mouse hiding in a hole."

"I feel very good."

When the two came out of the warm house, Xiaoxue outside also stopped unconsciously.

The winter sun slanted down from the wooden roof, leaving bright light and shadows on the pure white snow, the surroundings were quiet, occasionally there was the sound of chopping firewood coming from afar, or a few dead branches swayed in the wind. Falling from a bare branch, it made a clattering sound.

"At this time, Hogwarts should be celebrating Halloween, right?" Draco said.

The two walked aimlessly in the snow side by side.Maybe it was because of the cold weather, or because the village itself was sparsely populated. The two of them walked so casually along the way, but they didn't see many Muggles.

When Halloween is over, Christmas won't be far away.

Neither of them said these words out of their mouths, but they knew each other well, and the atmosphere condensed like air for a while.No matter how mature you are, when you are wandering alone, your thoughts about your hometown and family are always the same.

Kong Yun turned his head to look at the side face of the other party.

Even though they are about the same age, it's quite natural to get along with each other on weekdays, but for some reason, at some very occasional times, the young man in front of him always gives him a sense of tranquility, as if... even if he is close Just a short distance away, something drew a line out of thin air, as if isolating him in another world.

The road ahead is getting more and more muddy, and I am used to seeing dark dead trees on both sides. Moving forward, there is a green tree shadow that gradually becomes clear from a distance. The eyes of the junior Hufflepuffs are slightly bright, as if they have discovered something. Interesting things are average, and he smiled happily: "Draco——"

"what?"

Hearing his name suddenly, Draco paused subconsciously. As soon as he turned his head at this moment, he met the boy's clear eyes that seemed to be reflected in the stars. The latter was not looking at him at this moment, but at Looking towards a piece of emerald green not far away, there is focused joy in his eyes.

"The weather is very good today." Kong Yun raised his head to see the endless white sky, then turned his head and smiled at his friend beside him: "Are you interested in trying the tea I brewed by myself?"

Kong Yun is indeed not good at cooking.

He has no special feeling for food, and his family will not have suggestions or requests in this regard. The three meals a day will naturally be completed by a dedicated chef, but this does not mean that he has no other hobbies.

In addition to the four books and five classics that must be read and studied, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are several aspects that most children from Chinese aristocratic families will be involved in. They don't want to be proficient, but they can't be ignorant.Kong Yun didn't have much feeling for the way of piano and chess, but he was very interested in calligraphy, painting and tea ceremony. As early as a very young age, he learned from a famous teacher.

"You can also make tea?" Draco asked unexpectedly, seeing Kong Yun quicken his pace and walking towards the green shadow not far away, he thought for a while and followed.

His eyes fell on the green bamboo in front of him, and he asked puzzled: "What does this have to do with bamboo?"

"In our place, there is a saying called 'cooking snow to make tea'. Simply put, it is to use snow water as raw material to make tea, but the requirements for snow are a bit different." Kong Yun explained: "Generally Generally speaking, the snow on the plum blossoms is the best for making tea. Although there are no plum blossoms, the snow on the bamboo leaves is also a good choice.”

With the snow on the bamboo carefully selected, they returned to Mr. Stuart's house.

The tea leaves and tea sets were placed in Kong Yun’s storage ring before school started, and the few stones in front of the door were turned into two chairs and a half-person-high table. I even dug out two books that I didn't know when they were put in, one "Research on the Development of Modern Witchcraft" and one "Standard Spells, Level [-]".

While waiting for the tea to boil, he was still idle, so he simply pushed the "Standard Spells, Level [-]" to Draco, while he lowered his head, holding the "Research on the Development of Modern Witchcraft" in his hands. Flip through.

Until a figure appeared in front of him.
