catch the rabbit

In Beijing in May, the weather is already a bit hot.

After delivering the pastries to each family that day, Lin Wanke went to Qingyan Academy with the still warm dumplings.

Mr. Dianle was teaching a class, but Lin Wanke was too embarrassed to disturb him, so he stood at the corner and waited.

The walls of Qingyan Academy are covered with roses, each of which is so lovely and tender.

He couldn't help reaching out to fiddle with the flower closest to him, and a small bee flew out of the layers of petals and circled around his nose.

Lin Wanke waved it away, and it flew back in a circle.He blocked it with both hands, and the dumpling in his arms fell to the ground.

The glutinous dumpling was broken into pieces, and even the bean paste stuffing fell out. Although it was wrapped in oil paper, it could not be given away after all.

When Lin Wanke was worrying, he heard the tinkling of the copper bell on the corner of the academy eaves.

It's the students who are out of class.

A group of children ran out bouncing around. He stretched his neck and looked in, and found that his precious brother was walking at the end, with Mr. Le Xin beside him.

Mr. Le was wearing an apricot-yellow shirt, with a smile on his lips, and he was still stroking the top of Lin Baizhi's hair with one hand.

Lin Wanke wiped his hands on the hem of his clothes before walking up.

"Big Brother!" The child has sharp eyes, and saw him from a long distance, and flew towards him with open arms like a bird, "Big Brother, Big Brother, Mr. Le praised me for my good reading today!"

"Really?" Lin Wanke raised his head and met Shang Lexin's smiling eyes, his face immediately became hot.

"Lin Baizhi has made a lot of progress recently. He recited the text he taught yesterday verbatim." Le Xin said.

"My younger brother is stupid, sir taught him well." Lin Wan could see that he kept smiling, his face getting hotter and hotter.

"He's a very smart kid, but kids are a bit naughty and playful by nature, as long as you put your mind to it and study hard, you won't be worse than others." After finishing speaking, Le Xin straightened Lin Baizhi's clothes, "Let's go back to eat. "

"Goodbye, Mr. Le!" The child who received the praise blushed with excitement, grabbed Lin Wanke's sleeve and dragged him forward.

Le Xin nodded slightly, turned around and entered the academy.

Lin Wanke was dragged away for two steps, and couldn't help but look back, until the thin figure disappeared behind the door, he reluctantly looked back.

On the way home, Lin Baizhi talked a lot, chatting non-stop.

Lin Wanke let him tug on his sleeves, and he was actually very happy in his heart, but he was tired after the past two days, and he was in a daze.

Qingyan Academy was only a short distance away from Lin's house. When he walked past the wall of the academy that was full of roses, Lin Wanke glanced at the place where the dumplings fell.

The bean paste dumpling was still lying on the ground, but there was a snowball-like rabbit next to it, licking the overflowing bean paste.

He thought he was wrong, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, and saw that the rabbit was also looking at him, his agate-like eyes were crystal clear.

"Big Brother, I want to eat Deyilou's Honey Sauce Chicken Wings."

Lin Baizhi leaned on him and acted like a baby, drawing his attention back.

"Okay, I'll take you to buy it."

The child cheered and jumped for joy, and even more vigorously grabbed Lin Wanke's sleeve and dragged him towards Deyilou.

When he turned around, a rose caught his coarse cloth clothes and stuck to him, refusing to fall off, as if it had bloomed on his shoulder.

***

Under the rose pink wall, the snow-white rabbit curled up, licking bean paste happily.

A small golden feather floated down, and slowly landed next to the rabbit. Inadvertently, it turned into a red-shirted boy with a beautiful face that was almost arrogant. The boots embroidered with exquisite patterns lightly kicked the unmoved white rabbit. .

"Hey, Jiang Tiaotiao, could you please say hello before you go out next time? A Ling is about to cry when she looks for you."

Before he finished speaking, the rabbit in front of him disappeared, replaced by a young man in black with a clean face.

"It's delicious. Rouge's peach blossom cake is not as good as this one. Would you like to try it?" He sucked his finger dipped in bean paste with one hand, and held the dumpling with the other.

"You also eat the dirty things you pick up on the ground!" The red-shirted boy glanced at him in disgust.

"It's really delicious." Jiang Tiaotiao licked his lips, still wanting more.

"You leave Yueran alone, and you actually come here to eat garbage. In vain, I still run around for you. If this continues, just close the door!"

The red-shirted boy with raised eyebrows was none other than Fenghuang Huangcai, and the other black-clothed boy was naturally his lover—the legendary rabbit spirit Jiang Tiaotiao.

Yueranju, which has cost Huangcai a lot of effort, has been full of business since its opening. Although the wine provided by Jiuxian Fine Wine is indispensable, it seems that more people come here for Jiang Tiaotiao.

Jiang Tiaotiao only showed her face on the opening day, and soon the news that "Yueranju has a beautiful woman" spread throughout the capital.

The people who came to watch the novelty almost broke the threshold. Jiang Tiaotiao had no choice but to disappear. The original intention is completely opposite.

Therefore, he has been very distressed recently, so he simply turned into a rabbit and went around looking for shade to sleep.

Everyone in Yueranju went to Huangcai every day to complain about this, and after hearing the words "If I don't come back after jumping, I won't do it" hundreds of times, Huangcai was also annoyed.

In order to drive the Yueranju for him, he had to spend a lot of effort before and after running, Jiang Tiaotiao sat back and enjoyed the benefits and even acted as the shopkeeper, who would be angry with anyone else.

"But as soon as I went back, many people pestered me to drink." Jiang Tiaotiao said aggrievedly, "It's not like you don't know how drunk I am."

Huang Cai's face turned green after hearing this.

This is also one of the reasons for his displeasure.

He obviously went there on the day of the opening, and he deliberately picked out the vermilion clothes sprinkled with gold thread, as eye-catching as possible, and he was ostentatious at that stop, but everyone was thinking about Jiang Tiaotiao, who only knew how to wear clothes. The dumb rabbit in black was so angry that he didn't sleep all night.

"I don't care about that, anyway, if you run out again tomorrow, I'll go back to Caiqiong Palace." Huang Cai snorted.

Jiang Tiaotiao thought for a while, and felt that being brilliant was more important than being lazy, so he said "oh" reluctantly, and obediently followed him back.

Of course, if there weren't so many idlers who like to join in the fun, Jiang Tiaotiao would still be happy to stay in Yueranju.

There are tables, chairs, screens as big as cups, bowls and dishes, all of which are selected by him personally, all of which are the styles and decorations he likes, not to mention that the guys are all his friends.

The meaning of this sentence is that Yueran Juli is either a fairy or a goblin.

If there is a sorcerer with a little bit of Taoism who travels here, he will definitely be surprised by this small wine shop mixed with monster and fairy aura.Fortunately, Cheng Ju, the number one magician in the capital, has set up an enchantment around the wine shop, so ordinary people will never know that the little girl serving wine with a strong smell is Kong Gu Youlan, who always sits in the second seat by the window. The beautiful boy in the crimson dress is really a peach blossom, and the chef who often dozes off is actually a chubby gray mouse.

These little gods and goblins, who can't be idle anymore, yearn for the bustling and interesting world just like Jiang Tiaotiao. They faithfully play their roles in the world every day, and they all enjoy it.

In comparison, Jiuxian Jiajiu is a busy man.He has his own responsibilities, and it is not easy to find time to come here.

It is said that on the day Jiang Tiaotiao was escorted back to Yueranju by Huang Cai, Jiajiu happened to have time to bring the freshly opened Baihua Yulu, which was so fragrant that A Ling and the others downstairs were salivating, and they all found excuses to come up to beg for wine.

Jiajiu only brought a small jar of wine, so there was no room for so many people to snatch it up. During the dispute, they heard a lot of commotion on the other side.

Huang Cai opened the window and saw many people gathered outside the vegetarian restaurant across the street.

"Yo, what is this?" Jia Niang poked his head out of curiosity, but was frightened back by a woman's sharp voice.

There were people coming and going on the street, and this woman stood on the side of the road and yelled, swearing one after another, throwing things while yelling, the sound of broken porcelain, men's yells and the noise of the people around, it was very lively.

"It's starting to quarrel again." Huang Cai threw a piece of crispy candy into his mouth, feeling very helpless, "I heard that the shopkeeper of this vegetarian restaurant hooked up with a little widow, causing the woman to stand at the door waiting for people every day. It annoyed the family."

"You know it well." Jia Jiu said.

"They're arguing every day, so it's hard not to know." Jiang Tiaotiao explained.

"Women in the world are really scary." Jia Niang looked at the savage woman in horror and dragged him out of the crowd by the ear of the owner of the vegetarian restaurant. If you want to become an immortal, aren't you afraid of getting tainted and ruining your practice?"

"What's there to be afraid of when he's so dumb? If you have the spare time to worry about him, why don't you brew more wine." Huang Cai said as he drank the glass in front of him.

"That's right, Six Immortals' birthday is coming up and I'm begging for a drink with me, and I have to go find it." Jia Jiu stood up, "Say hello to Chengju for me."

Before the words were finished, there was another commotion outside, the couple from the vegetarian restaurant actually scuffled in the street, the man's beard was pulled off, the woman was crying and scratching, and the jewels on her head scattered all over the floor.

Jia Jiu showed a look of disgust, and disappeared with a wave of his sleeves.

Huang Cai was not surprised, poured a glass of wine to tease Ah Ling, only Jiang Tiaotiao was still standing in front of the half-open window watching quietly.

The woman cried so hard that her voice became hoarse, and she sat on the ground wiping away her tears, completely losing her fierce look before.Her husband was cursing at first, but finally he coaxed her up and helped her back to the vegetarian restaurant.

Seeing that there was no excitement to watch, the onlookers gradually dispersed.

Jiang Tiaotiao noticed a young man in coarse clothes standing at the door, holding a food box in his hand, looking like he wanted to go in but didn't dare.

"I seem to have seen it somewhere..." he said to himself.
