startled autumn

"Lu Zheliu?" Shen Zhiqiu said the name lightly, a little awkward, but still full of meaning, "Why did he do that?"

Han Bi wrote lightly: "Xiao Shaoling has offended countless people, and it's not surprising that he is one more."

Shen Zhiqiu was puzzled: "Brother, have you offended many people?"

Han Bi thought to himself: Yes, the person Xiao Shaoling offended is right in front of you.

Shen Zhiqiu sighed sincerely: "Fortunately, brother has a friend like Mr. Han, who can find out the truth for him."

Han Bi: "..." In terms of the way of offending people, this senior brother can be said to be better than blue.

Seeing that Han Bi was silent, Shen Zhiqiu didn't care too much, thinking that he had already got the news at this moment, he wanted to leave, but seeing Han Bi sitting opposite him leisurely sipping tea, he didn't know the words of farewell. Why he couldn't say it for a while, in the end Shen Zhiqiu could only pick up the teacup resentfully and take a sip.

Seeing his cautious actions, Han Bi suddenly made a plan, and ordered the maid waiting outside to come in to exchange tea: "Mr. Shen's tea is cold."

Seeing this, Shen Zhiqiu quickly declined: "I'm not afraid of the cold, so there's no need to be like this."

Speaking of which, Shen Zhiqiu reached out to hold the teacup, like a child protecting his treasure.

The people Han Bi associates with are always rich or noble, paying attention to etiquette and face, this is the first time he has seen such reckless behavior as Shen Zhiqiu, and he was stunned for a while.

However, Han Bi always treats people differently from person to person, and he has a good set of skills. He treats Lu Zheliu with spring breeze and softness, and treats Shen Zhiqiu with softness and toughness. Now he slightly raised his half-stern face, and his complexion is so beautiful. Not daring to look directly at him: "In a snowy day, I let the guests drink herbal tea. If Mr. Shen feels unwell after returning, I will feel sorry anyway."

Shen Zhiqiu was a precocious young man who was never used to causing trouble to others. Now that he heard Han Bi's words, he immediately let go of his hand, feeling guilty and irritated: "It's because I wasn't thoughtful enough."

Han Bi said with satisfaction: "It's good to know."

If Han Banbu was here, he would have lamented that the two people's way of getting along is really weird, one is calculating and the other is being calculated, but both the calculating and the being calculated are unconscious, and the atmosphere is happy and harmonious.

After receiving the order, the maid came back with the wooden case in a short while. There were more than a dozen white pottery pots neatly placed on the wooden case, and they walked all the way without moving.

Han Bi stretched out his hand and picked up one of the clay pots. The pot was only half the size of a palm, and it looked particularly delicate and fragile in his palm. It was not extraordinary at first glance.I also saw him reach out and lift the lid of the clay pot, flicking it with his fingers, and smelling it calmly, he felt the tea fragrance was quiet and refreshing.

Han Bi smiled and said, "Choosing tea is an elegant thing, Mr. Shen can also give it a try."

Shen Zhiqiu was never good at such elegant matters, so he declined, "No need."

Han Bi didn't force him, but only carefully selected the tea samples on the wooden case before finally choosing.

The tea ceremony is very particular in the Han family. Washing the tea, brewing it, sealing the pot, and dividing the cups are all indispensable. When the maid finally came to bring the tea, Shen Zhiqiu felt at a loss, so he could only do what Han Bi did, holding the cups , smelled it.

Han Bi: "How?"

Shen Zhiqiu: "...It's hot."

The tea was indeed hot, so that Shen Zhiqiu's nose was sweating a little, so he could only take a sip: "It tastes good."

Knowing that he doesn't understand tea art, Han Bi deliberately teased him: "Where is it good?"

Shen Zhiqiu replied with difficulty: "It warms the stomach."

Han Bi smiled and said, "If I had known that this was the only thing you cared about, I would have asked someone to reheat the cold tea before and serve it up, but it would be a pity for my Fu tea."

Shen Zhiqiu had a thought: "Fu tea?"

Han Bi said leisurely, "It's the Fu tea from Yancheng."

"Yancheng." Shen Zhiqiu murmured, and his thoughts drifted back to Yancheng outside the pass. The tea soup, filled with emotions for a moment.

"Wake up." Seeing him stunned, Han Bi called him softly.

Shen Zhiqiu knew that he was impolite, so he hastily explained: "Yancheng is my hometown."

Han Bi pretended not to know, and said sincerely: "It turns out that Mr. Shen is homesick. I thought that drinking tea with me was too boring, and I actually made you fall asleep."

Unexpectedly, Shen Zhiqiu was more sincere than he seemed: "It's just a little boring."

Han Bi: "Oh?"

Shen Zhiqiu saw Han Bi's cold eyes and raised eyebrows, he didn't know why he felt a little terrified, so he replied truthfully: "Tea tasting is indeed a bit boring, but drinking tea with you will not be boring."

This is indeed a truth.As for the tea tasting, Han Bi ordered people to prepare it meticulously, while he carefully selected the tea samples. His intention to entertain guests was obvious. Although he didn't know the tea ceremony, seeing the other party's seriousness and meticulousness, he felt that the matter was profound and profound. It is full of the owner's thoughtfulness to the guests, which is very interesting.

Although the fun this time is just reciprocating, it is also very real.

Han Bi smiled and said, "This tea lost to me in terms of fun, so it's not a grievance."

Shen Zhiqiu agreed: "Mr. Han is indeed more interesting than tea."

Han Bi couldn't figure out whether this person was praising him or belittling him, so he changed the subject abruptly: "Mr. Shen is from Yancheng? Unintentionally planting trees and willows, this Fu tea must be very to your liking."

Shen Zhiqiu said calmly: "I can't drink it."

"It's okay." Han Bi waved his hand, as expected, he thought so, and it was not in vain for him to remind him specially, otherwise this person would not know one on the left and the other on the right all day long, and all these painstaking efforts would be in vain, so he tried again. Said: "I seldom leave the capital, and I really want to hear the interesting stories between you and Yancheng."

When Shen Zhiqiu talked about Yancheng, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he began to talk more: "Although there are thousands of steep cliffs around Yancheng, there are a lot of rare game, birds and animals among the high mountains, and most of the people in Yancheng live by hunting. , I grew up running in the mountains since I was a child; later, when I grew up, I secretly stole my father's sword and went hunting. I peeled the skin of the roe deer and roasted the pheasant along the way, and felt very comfortable, so I asked my father to say: 'I want to learn how to sword', but my father told me that I was reckless."

Han Bi knew that the father Shen Zhiqiu spoke of should be Shen Jianxing, the first city lord of Yancheng.

"Later, I discovered that my father often used a sword to eat barbecue for my mother, and he also taught me the method carefully, saying, 'There is nothing that one roast chicken can't solve, if there is, then two', as a result, after I learned , he and mother will never cook again.”

Han Bi thought to himself, Shen Jianxing is indeed a person with the most affection and nature, and the degree of his wandering mind is worthy of being Shen Zhiqiu's father, it is even worse than that.

"Later, my mother passed away, my father left with my mother's ashes, and I finally left Yancheng."

Han Bi thought about it... Wait, the progress of this story is too fast, right?It was simply overwhelming.Then he quickly interrupted Shen Zhiqiu's memory and asked, "Why did you leave Yancheng?"

Shen Zhiqiu was suddenly interrupted by him, but he didn't feel any difference, and replied honestly: "I did something wrong."

Han Bi persuasively asked, "What's the matter?"

Shen Zhiqiu stroked the teacup on the table restlessly, and sighed: "Ten years ago, I didn't know anyone, and not only regarded a person as a close friend, but also entrusted Yancheng to him. Catastrophe, I am duty-bound."

Han Bi knew that the person he was talking about should be the liar pretending to be Fang Hezi, so he comforted him: "Who hasn't met a few scum? Don't blame yourself too much."

Shen Zhiqiu shook his head, "He's not a scum."

Seeing that he was still defending that person, Han Bi couldn't help but be amazed: "Mr. Shen is magnanimous."

Shen Zhiqiu shook his head even more vigorously, "Ten years ago, that man was a heavenly genius, his swordsmanship was superb, his nature was brilliant, he couldn't be considered a scum."

In Shen Zhiqiu's mind, a scum should be a villain who eats and waits to die every day, or is only caring about being jealous and hurting others all day long, which really has nothing to do with Fang Hezi.

Han Bi smiled and said, "Since he can deceive people, he must have a decent skin."

Hearing what Han Bi said, Shen Zhiqiu didn't know where his train of thought went. He is a person who is used to self-examination, so he blamed himself for it: "Mr. There will be disasters later."

When Han Bi heard this, he was [-]% sure that this Shen Zhiqiu was a fool.

If he only listened to what he said today, he might still feel that Shen Zhiqiu was playing dumb, but combining this person's experience and the information he collected, this person not only trusts his friends, but also likes to take the blame.The so-called Fang Hezi patted his butt and left after deceiving people. He was imprisoned for a year, and he also voluntarily gave up his position as the city lord, leaving his hometown and leaving his hometown.

Fortunately, he met Xiao Shaoling and entered Mo Yi, but since he had such an adventure, Shen Zhiqiu didn't know how to cherish it at all, and instead of seeking a comeback, he got the whole ten years of disappearance in exchange for it. Fang Hezi is happy and happy.

Han Bi really wanted to say, Mr. Shen, a brain is a good thing, I hope you have it too.

It's a pity that Han Bi has dealt with smart people the most in his life. Now that he meets Shen Zhiqiu, he is at a loss, "You can't say that... Since he has other plans, how do you have the opportunity to understand his heart?"

Shen Zhiqiu frustrated: "That's right." After a pause, he said firmly: "This matter is always my fault."

Han Bi also laughed at this man's stubbornness, and asked, "How could you be wrong?"

Shen Zhiqiu replied blankly, "I don't know either."

Han Bi: "..."

Shen Zhiqiu: "I don't really know what is right and what is wrong, but everyone says I shouldn't do it. Doesn't that mean I did something wrong?"

Han Bi: "If everyone says that using a sword is wrong, are you willing to stop using a sword in this life?"

Shen Zhiqiu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head again.

Han Bi asked again: "If everyone said that it is wrong to kill with a sword and take pleasure in it, what do you think?"

Shen Zhiqiu: "If you use a sword just for killing, it's rare to achieve great success."

Han Bi smiled and said, "It can be seen that the matter of right and wrong has nothing to do with other people's opinions. Even if everyone says that using a sword is wrong, you still use it, which shows that you don't feel that you are wrong in your heart. Your right and wrong The standard is only whether this matter violates the way of the sword."

Shen Zhiqiu: "It's a pity that not everything in the world has to do with swords."

Han Bi: "Instead of the matter of your old friend, I can only say that it is right for you to trust your friend, but it is naturally wrong to trust your friend too much."

Shen Zhiqiu was puzzled and said, "I don't understand."

Han Bi thought for a while and said casually, "It's better not to do it than to go too far."

It's too late... Shen Zhiqiu chewed the true meaning of these four words, regardless of Han Bi was still sitting opposite him, he closed his eyes and realized it on the spot. After a long time, he opened his eyes, only to feel suddenly enlightened, as if turning in a fog, but Accidentally met Liu Yinhuamingchu, and my mood improved.

At this time, Han Bi was gone, and Shen Zhiqiu was only waiting for two maids, seeing that he was awake, they handed him hot water towels to wash him up, and said that the young master had already rested, if Mr. Shen wanted to leave, No need to say goodbye in person.

Only then did Shen Zhiqiu realize that the moonlight was already shining like water outside, so he left only a note as farewell, and left the Han Mansion.

When Shen Zhiqiu rushed back to Mo Yi, it was already the moon.

In the middle of the night, the courtyard was silent, and flowers could be heard falling. Although he had new news and insights to share with Xiao Shaoling, it was late at night after all, so he didn't dare to disturb his brother's sleep, so he had no choice but to go back to his room and put on his clothes. .

Waking up early the next morning, Shen Zhiqiu felt that something was wrong: Xiao Shaoling always went to bed early and got up earlier, and now that he had eaten his breakfast, it was really strange that he hadn't seen Xiao Shaoling practicing his sword, so he pulled the little junior brother on the side of the road Asked: "Where is the big brother?"

The junior brother knew that Shen Zhiqiu was serious and dignified, so he was always afraid of him, so he immediately replied: "Eldest brother, he is in the confinement room."

Shen Zhiqiu just went out for a day, and suddenly felt that the world has changed: "Why?"

The little junior muttered: "I only heard that it is the head of the gate, I don't know the rest." After saying that, he left the dazed Shen Zhiqiu and ran away.

【small theater】

After Han Bi left the room.

Han Bi: "When he wakes up, just send him away, so that he doesn't have to come to say goodbye again."

Half-step question: "What if he still wants to find you?"

Han Bi: "Let's just say I've rested in the East Lying."

He took his orders in half a step, and only after a while did he think: I have said so clearly where I sleep, so isn't it afraid that Shen Zhiqiu will break into the door?That's all, the young master has always been smart, it's normal for me not to understand, as long as I do it.

at night.

Half a step: "Young master, why are you still awake?" Still dressed neatly, as if about to go out.

Han Bi: "I can't sleep."

Half a step: "By the way, Shen Zhiqiu didn't ask anything, and has already left."

Han Bi: "Go out."

Just half a step out of the room, the light in the room was blown out, and he couldn't help scratching the back of his head: "How can I just sleep? Didn't I just fall asleep? I really don't understand."
