My Gentleman Reborn
Chapter 64 He Jingdong
"Girl, are you okay?"
He Yuzhou covered his knees and turned his head. A flash of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, but it was quickly disappeared. He Yuzhou shook his head, covered his knees and staggered to his feet.
The man wanted to step forward to help him, but stopped a step away from He Yuzhou. He frowned, and suddenly pursed his lips and said, "I offended you, girl."
He Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment, the man had already stepped forward and picked He Yuzhou up and half hugged him and helped him onto the horse.
"Hey, what are you doing?!" He Yuzhou frowned and exclaimed.
The handsome man got on his horse and sat behind He Yuzhou and said, "You hurt your foot, I'll take you to see a doctor."
"No need." He Yuzhou stabilized his mind, struggling to get off his horse and said, "I'm not seriously injured, just go back and apply some medicine."
There was still some potion for Nu Yi's injury last time, and He Yuzhou didn't want to go to the pharmacy to spend this money.
The man said disapprovingly: "How can you be so casual."
As he said that, regardless of He Yuzhou's wishes, he clamped the horse's belly with his legs, turned the horse around, and ran back the way he came back.
He Yuzhou was startled, and seeing himself getting farther and farther away from the teahouse, he turned his head and glared at the man: "I said no, don't you understand?"
The man heard it but didn't answer, He Yuzhou struggled.
"Hey, Miss He!" There was Madam Lu's voice faintly behind him, He Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment, then looked back slightly, and saw her urging the groom to chase him in a carriage.
He Yuzhou's eyes widened, this Mrs. Lu was chasing after him!
He Yuzhou turned his head suddenly, and he heard the man ask in his ear: "What's wrong? Is the lady looking for you? Do you need me to stop?"
"No!" He Yuzhou shook his head, swallowed his saliva and said, "Please hurry up, I want to see the doctor."
Hearing this, the man frowned, turned his head slightly to look at Mrs. Lu, then looked down at He Yuzhou, clamped his horse belly, and left Mrs. Lu behind.
When he came out of the pharmacy, He Yuzhou's wound was healed. The man paid the money, and he didn't bring any money with him.
He stepped out of the pharmacy, and the man followed behind him with his hands behind his back.
He Yuzhou got rid of Mrs. Lu at this time, and his knee didn't hurt like before, so he couldn't help but calm down to the man: "Thank you for bringing me here."
The man shook his head: "I hit you, it should be, I'll send you back."
"Yeah." He Yuzhou didn't refuse. He has trouble with his legs and feet now, and this town is indeed some distance away from the village.
When he went back, he was anxious when he didn't come. The man helped He Yuzhou onto the horse, but he didn't sit on it himself. He pulled the horse and led He Yuzhou back slowly.
"The girl lives in Hekou Village? Why have you never seen her before?"
He Yuzhou said: "I just moved here, and my name is He Yuzhou."
"Oh. That's it." The man pursed his lips: "It's true that I haven't visited Hekou Village for a while."
What he said was strange, and He Yuzhou couldn't help asking: "The young master is also from Hekou Village?"
"Hmm." The man held the rein with one hand behind his back, replied softly, and then explained rather bluntly: "The family has moved away from Hekou Village, but I will come back to visit from time to time."
He Yuzhou thought about it, but he really couldn't think of anyone in Hekou Village who lived away from the village, so he couldn't help asking, "What's your name, sir?"
The man raised his head slightly to look at He Yuzhou, his knife-like facial features became more three-dimensional in the sunlight, with a unique masculine beauty, when he opened his mouth to reply to He Yuzhou, a sword suddenly appeared beside him.
The reflection of the sword light made He Yuzhou narrow his eyes uncomfortably. When he opened his eyes again, there was a soft sword in the man's hand. Where the blade pointed, it suppressed Nu Yi who was holding the long sword.
He Yuzhou called out in surprise, "Nui?"
Nu Yi turned her head when she heard the words, and swung the man's soft sword with a long sword, and came to He Yuzhou: "Xiaozhou, are you alright?"
He Yuzhou shook his head.
Nu Yi pursed her lips and squinted at the man in black robe and said, "Just now the lady said that you were kidnapped by this man."
He Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment. He had just fallen to the ground, and was forcefully helped onto the horse by this man, and then was carried away from the village by a man who ignored his struggle. People who did not know the situation from a distance would indeed think that he was Hijacked.
He thought so, and explained: "No, you misunderstood, I accidentally bumped into this young man's horse, and injured my knee, so he took him to see the doctor."
"Injured?" Nu Yi seemed a little nervous, put the long sword back into the scabbard, and ran to the side, trying to check He Yuzhou's knee.
He Yuzhou said awkwardly: "It's okay, the doctor has already seen it."
"Yeah." Nu Yi frowned and said, with self-blame flashing across his face: "Then let's go back."
He Yuzhou nodded towards Nuyi, looked at the man in black robe who had been silent beside him and said, "My lord, thank you very much for today, we will go back first."
As he said, he was about to get off the horse with the help of Nuyi, but the man stopped him and said: "It's inconvenient for the girl to hurt her leg, so let the horse drive the girl back first. I will return to the village in a few days, and I will come to pick up the stool when the time comes." yes."
"This..." He Yuzhou wanted to refuse, but the man didn't give him a chance to refuse, so he turned around and left, leaving the horse behind.
He Yuzhou was taken aback, and yelled at him twice, but he didn't pay attention, so He Yuzhou could only say, "Then you go back to the village and come to the Hekou Teahouse on the main road at the entrance of the village to find your horse."
The man waved his hand to show that he knew.
Nu Yi looked at the man's back, and silently pulled the horse forward, his tight lips revealed that he had something on his mind.
He Yuzhou looked at it, and couldn't help asking in doubt: "What's the matter? But you were thinking about Mrs. Lu just now?"
"No." Nu Yi shook her head: "Mrs. Lu was persuaded to go back by a caller called Uncle An. I was thinking about the man just now."
"Huh?" He Yuzhou wondered, "What happened to him?"
"He has great martial arts skills, who exactly is he?"
He Yuzhou froze for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know, but is he very good at martial arts?"
"Yeah." Nu Yi lowered his eyes heavily: "Nu Yi practiced martial arts at the age of three. Although his aptitude is stupid, as long as he has a sword in his hand, he can be called a master, and that man can suppress me who is holding a long sword. , he must not be simple."
When He Yuzhou heard the words, he thought about it thoughtfully, and said with a smile, "Where is there such a master, Nu Yi is too worried. He is just a person who moved out of Hekou Village. He just went back to his hometown to have a look."
Nu Yi pursed her lips and frowned tightly: "I hope it will be as Xiao Zhou said."
After He Yuzhou went back, he immediately replaced all the women's clothes and wiped off the rouge on his face. The clothes Mrs. Lu gave him were still lying on the table in the teahouse. He Yuzhou asked Uncle Zhao to help them return them. Uncle Yi reported to Uncle An that he was fine and told them not to worry. Uncle An asked Zhao Yi to return a word to He Yuzhou and let him rest well.
On the second day, the man who clearly said he would come to Hekou Village to pick up horses in a few days showed up at the teahouse.
He Yuzhou looked at him slightly in surprise, he came in and looked around, and finally fixed his eyes on He Yuzhou, looking at his manly attire, surprise flashed in his eyes, but was quickly covered up, he walked to He Yuzhou in front of.
He Yuzhou smiled: "My lord, are you here to fetch the horse? The horse is in the stable below. I'll have someone take you to fetch it."
As he said that, he wanted to call Qin Huan. Qin Huan was currently eating snacks in the bamboo house.
The man stopped him: "No hurry, I happen to be a little hungry, let's eat something first."
As he spoke, he looked at the menu board behind He Yuzhou and asked, "What's delicious here?"
"Huh?" He Yuzhou thought for a while and said, "My lord is hungry, why don't you try our barbecue and stewed meat, maybe it would be good with some pancakes and steamed buns."
Thinking that men should not like sweets, He Yuzhou didn't introduce sweet snacks to him.
The man raised his eyebrows and said, "Then let's talk about what you said."
With that said, he chose a seat by the window and sat down.
He Yuzhou turned around and entered the bamboo house, but after a while, he brought the things the man asked for and delivered them to the man. The man's eyes turned to He Yuzhou's leg, and he frowned and asked, "It still hurts?"
He Yuzhou was slightly taken aback, only to realize that he was talking about his knees, he shook his head slightly and smiled and said, "It's already much better, just to thank you for taking me to the doctor yesterday, I'll take this meal, my lord, don't dislike it." .”
Hearing this, the man twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he was smiling, but his expression was a little stiff, he said: "That's nothing, you are a teahouse here, why don't you see any tea?"
The man flipped the wooden sign in his hand, He Yuzhou smiled and said, "Isn't it on the sign in your hand?"
"Fruit tea?" The man asked He Yuzhou, looking a little uninterested, He Yuzhou said: "If these are not to your taste, you can look over there."
He Yuzhou pointed to the sign above the counter.
The man glanced at it and asked, "Is there any wine?"
"Wine?" He Yuzhou shook his head in surprise.
The man pursed his lips and did not speak again. His eyes began to carefully look at every listing above the counter, and finally fixed his eyes on the most expensive scented tea—"Epiphyllum tea?"
"100 taels for a bowl of tea?" the man asked.
He Yuzhou said: "Yes and no, this tea is indeed 100 taels, but it comes with a banquet of epiphyllum."
"Epiphyllum banquet?" The man became interested, and said, "Then let me try it."
He Yuzhou shook his head: "This epiphyllum tea and epiphyllum feast are not always available."
The man looked at He Yuzhou, and He Yuzhou explained: "Young master also knows that this epiphyllum blooms at night and withers after one night. It is very rare, and it is even more difficult to keep it fresh. Picking it is even more difficult. So there is no such thing in the store. If you want it Tea, you have to set a time."
"Oh?" The man raised his eyebrows, He Yuzhou said: "You are sure you really want this tea, I will go back to take care of the epiphyllum at home, on the night of flowering, I will inform the young master to come, and I will make epiphyllum tea for the young master, of course, the banquet is also. "
"Interesting." The man pursed his lips and said, took out 100 taels from his pocket, and put it on the table: "Then I'll make a decision."
He Yuzhou smiled and took the money: "My lord, tell me where I live. If the epiphyllum blooms, I will notify you."
"No need." The man said, "I will come here every day from now on."
He Yuzhou was taken aback, but the man didn't explain. He just picked up a piece of stewed meat with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, "Now make me a cup of tea, I'm thirsty."
He Yuzhou thought for a while, then turned around to boil water, order some tea and choose flowers, and made him a cup of chrysanthemum tea.
The man looked at He Yuzhou without blinking, with a suitable expression, as if he felt that watching him was a kind of enjoyment.
After He Yuzhou delivered the tea to him, he took a few sips. He didn't show any special expression, but he also accepted the taste of scented tea. He Yuzhou couldn't help being a little disappointed, thinking that the man would feel it, or he was also an expert in tea tasting. But obviously not, he seems to drink tea specifically to quench his thirst, maybe such a person would prefer wine, and his appearance is also unrestrained, so wine would indeed suit him better.
As He Yuzhou thought about it, his eyes flickered, and he remembered something.
From that day on, the man did come to the teahouse on time every day. He arrived when He Yuzhou opened the door, and left on his black horse when He Yuzhou closed the door.
He doesn't talk much, but he will catch up with He Yuzhou a few words every day.
Thinking of the man, He Yuzhou remembered what he thought of that day - a kind of wine, wine.
On this day, He Yuzhou asked Nu Yi to go to the mountain to help pick some mountain grapes, and when he came back, he started to make wine.
Wine is not difficult to make, but it is difficult to wait. After the grapes are crushed, they must wait for them to ferment slowly. During this period, they must be watched frequently to prevent them from becoming sour.
Because the weather is hot now, after a few days, there will be a faint smell of wine. He Yuzhou packed a small bottle and prepared to bring it to the man. The rest will continue to be sealed. The longer the wine is, the better it will taste. Now I spoon some out just for the man to taste. .
The epiphyllum at home seemed to be about to bloom. He Yuzhou observed it carefully, and estimated that it would bloom tonight. It seemed that this man had to have a feast of the epiphyllum tonight.
After giving the wine to the man during the day, He Yuzhou formally invited him to taste the Epiphyllum banquet and Epiphyllum tea in the small courtyard of his house at night.
The man agreed, so he didn't leave. He went home with He Yuzhou when He Yuzhou closed.
He Yuzhou had some dark lines. When Nu Yi and Qin Huan went out to meet He Yuzhou, they saw the man was a bit hostile.
He Yuzhou approached Nu Yi, tugged at his sleeve and said, "This is a guest. I took his silver taels and said I would sell him epiphyllum tea, so I brought him back. Don't be too hostile, it's okay. of."
Nu Yi pursed her lips when she heard the words, and didn't answer, but she didn't make her expression too obvious anymore.
A few days ago, when the man bought the epiphyllum tea, He Yuzhou transplanted the epiphyllum tea into the flower plate. When the man came, He Yuzhou brought it in front of the man from the shade.
It was still a while before it was in full bloom, so He Yuzhou made some meals and invited the man to have some together, and after eating, he and he waited in the yard for the epiphyllum to bloom.
Nu Yi didn't want to see the man, and was afraid that the man would do something wrong to He Yuzhou, so she sent Qin Huan into the house and stayed by He Yuzhou's side.
The man ignored him, took out the small bottle of wine that He Yuzhou had given him, sat in the courtyard and drank for himself, with a contented expression on his face.
Although he didn't speak, he seemed to enjoy his expression.
After a pot of wine was finished, the man seemed a little tipsy because the moonlight was too alluring, or the wine was really full of stamina.
At this time, at around midnight, the moonlight was shining lightly, and the epiphyllum in front of the man was glowing with a white halo. Suddenly, they stretched out, and in just a moment, dozens of epiphyllum were in full bloom, spreading out their beautiful white coats , revealing the tender yellow flower heart inside, and in an instant, the courtyard was filled with fragrance.
"It's so beautiful." He Yuzhou sighed, and his men didn't stop. He had already taken the tea set in the courtyard, and the kettle was also burning. At this time, he just ordered the tea leaves, made the tea and filtered the water, and took the best tea. water, pick the most suitable petals into the tea, and gently brush the tea cover.
The man looked at He Yuzhou without blinking, with inexplicable affection in his eyes, he continued: "Flowers are beautiful, people are more beautiful."
He Yuzhou was concentrating on making tea, but he didn't hear what the man said, but Nu Yi heard his words clearly, and couldn't help being a little more hostile towards him.
After a while, the fragrance of flowers mixed with the fragrance of tea wafted in the courtyard. He Yuzhou took off the tea cover with a light smile, and pushed the tea in front of the man: "Okay."
The man looked down at the tea on the table. There were a few epiphyllum petals floating on the clear tea, which looked really nice.
Pick it up and smell it closely, the strong tea fragrance and the light fragrance complement each other.
The man glanced at He Yuzhou, blew lightly, and took a sip.
After the bitterness in the mouth, there is a touch of sweetness, the lingering fragrance, the fragrance of epiphyllum lingers between the teeth for a long time, never dissipating, it is the real lingering fragrance in the mouth.
Even if a man doesn't like to drink tea, even if a man doesn't know how to taste tea, he still understands that this tea is not simple.
His eyes flickered, he put down the teacup and said, "It seems that the 100 taels are not in vain."
"That's natural." He Yuzhou chuckled, taking advantage of the opening of the epiphyllum, he quickly picked off a dozen of the epiphyllum, and carried the oil lamp into the kitchen.
He took out two flowers and boiled a pot of soup with shredded pork. The soup was so thick that three bowls of water boiled into one bowl, which was just enough for a man to taste.
I took two more flowers for cold dressing, picked the petals off, poured water, and then mixed with seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, the taste was very refreshing.
Take three more flowers and make epiphyllum porridge.
I took three more flowers, washed them all, rolled them with egg liquid and flour, and fried them in a pan, until they were cooked into shapes and placed on a plate.
For the last two flowers, He Yuzhou boiled them with water until the epiphyllum was about to melt, then added rock sugar and continued to boil until they melted to make a dessert. This dessert is sweet and smooth, delicious, He Yuzhou himself I don't like sugar very much but I like this dessert very much.
I gave it to this man tonight, I'm afraid it will be wasted, he doesn't seem to like sweets.
Thinking of this, He Yuzhou brought these out for the man to taste.
The man was a little surprised when he saw these. He ate a few bites of each, and finally settled on Epiphyllum Soup, Cold Epiphyllum and Fried Epiphyllum.
After eating all three of these, he stopped moving, and He Yuzhou looked at the cup of rock sugar epiphyllum with distress.
The man scooped out half of the bowl and ate a few mouthfuls before he stopped moving. There was still a full cup in the cup.
The man seemed to have spotted He Yuzhou's reluctance, and pushed the sugar water down in front of He Yuzhou: "This is not bad, you should try it too."
"..." He Yuzhou had some dark lines, and felt that the man must have seen his distress, but now he could only bite the bullet and taste a few mouthfuls: "Yes...it's pretty good."
It's really awkward to praise yourself.
The man pulled his lips at him, and he seemed to be smiling again, with a somewhat stiff facial expression.
He Yuzhou put down the spoon: "This epiphyllum tea is only one plant, it seems that I will be able to sell this epiphyllum tea for the second time in the next year."
The man's eyes flickered: "I'll give you a few more plants."
He Yuzhou was taken aback, and the man said, "I happen to have a few plants in my house. If you need them, I'll bring them to you."
"...Actually, don't bother." He Yuzhou just mentioned it casually. He felt a little embarrassed when the man said this.
The man replied: "It's not a trouble, if you want to thank me, you can help me make more wine."
He Yuzhou laughed when he heard the words, men really like to drink a lot.
After eating the epiphyllum banquet, it was already midnight, He Yuzhou didn't know where the man lived, and it was not easy to drive him away so late, so he said, "Then young master, stay here and leave tomorrow."
"Alright." The man replied, He Yuzhou asked Nu Yi to move next to him to live with Qin Huan for one night, and the east wing room was vacated for the man.
In the early morning of the second day, there was no sign of the man in the East Wing. He Yuzhou thought that he might have gone back, so he ignored it.
After breakfast, the two came to the teahouse as usual, but on the way, they met many people chatting about something.
He Yuzhou frowned, somewhat puzzled.
Then one person shouted: "Look, the people from the He family are here!"
"?!" Suddenly hearing the members of the He family, He Yuzhou's heart trembled, and he looked in the direction the villagers pointed.
Three extremely luxurious carriages slowly drove into the village road, all the way to the old house of the He family.
Only then did He Yuzhou remember that it was already September, and it was time for Uncle Zhao's He family to come here to hunt and play in autumn.
He clenched his fists.
He family!
"Xiaozhou? What's the matter with you, Xiaozhou?" Nu Yi found that He Yuzhou had stopped, with an ugly expression on his face, and couldn't help but worry.
He Yuzhou took a deep breath and said, "No, it's fine."
He spoke extremely calmly, if it wasn't for his pale face, Nu Yi would have believed it, but his expression betrayed him, Nu Yi looked at He Yuzhou worriedly, He Yuzhou raised his steps again and said, "Let's go, let's go teahouse."
Arriving at the teahouse, he found three people sitting there. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and when they approached, they smelled like perfume. He Yuzhou frowned, and asked, "What's the matter with the three girls guarding the door of my teahouse?"
"What? You are the owner of this teahouse?" The three women stood up and immediately looked fierce. "This is the field of my He family. Why did you build a teahouse here!"
The He family, these three people belong to the He family, and this field belongs to the He family in the town, so these three people should not be from the He family in the county seat but from the He family in the town. Xi only has three daughters. Looking at these three people, they are probably He Xi's three daughters. Originally, the last time He Yuzhou appeared in front of Wen Qiurong disguised as a woman, he should have had a face-to-face meeting with them. He remembered them too much, and they didn't recognize him after he put on men's clothes. He Yuzhou narrowed his eyes and asked, "You said this is your He family's field? Where's the evidence? Where's Tian Qie?"
"Tian Qi is in Ding Fu's hands," said a woman.
He Yuzhou sneered: "Then let him take it out."
"How could it be possible to get it out, he has already gone to jail." One of the women said.
Another woman immediately added: "However, even if Tian Qie is taken to prison, this is the land of my He family and it belongs to my He family. Why do you occupy it privately?"
"Private possession?" He Yuzhou sneered: "This is my rightful field. I have a field, and my name is written on the field. If you don't believe me, go to the government to check it?"
"You..." A woman stepped forward violently: "How dare you provoke our He family!"
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves and was about to step forward, but Nu Yi stepped in front of He Yuzhou, and Qin Huan hid behind He Yuzhou.
"What's the matter?" Suddenly, a cold voice came from beside his ear. He Yuzhou looked back and saw that it was the young master from last night. With just one look, he led Qin Huan to open the door of the teahouse.
"cousin!"
"Congratulations cousin!"
"Brother Jingdong!"
The three women shouted suddenly when they saw the man.
He Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment and turned around.
Then he saw the man nodded towards the three women, and the three women ran towards him very happily.
"Cousin, this person has taken over our He family's field!"
The man's surname is He!It's from the He family!He Yuzhou's eyes suddenly widened. The He family in the town has no sons, and the He family in the county only has the son of Shang Zhuojun——He Jingdong.
This person is Shang Zhuojun's son - He Jingdong!
He Yuzhou looked at the man in disbelief. The man felt He Yuzhou's gaze, looked at him, and slightly softened his face.
He Yuzhou covered his knees and turned his head. A flash of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, but it was quickly disappeared. He Yuzhou shook his head, covered his knees and staggered to his feet.
The man wanted to step forward to help him, but stopped a step away from He Yuzhou. He frowned, and suddenly pursed his lips and said, "I offended you, girl."
He Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment, the man had already stepped forward and picked He Yuzhou up and half hugged him and helped him onto the horse.
"Hey, what are you doing?!" He Yuzhou frowned and exclaimed.
The handsome man got on his horse and sat behind He Yuzhou and said, "You hurt your foot, I'll take you to see a doctor."
"No need." He Yuzhou stabilized his mind, struggling to get off his horse and said, "I'm not seriously injured, just go back and apply some medicine."
There was still some potion for Nu Yi's injury last time, and He Yuzhou didn't want to go to the pharmacy to spend this money.
The man said disapprovingly: "How can you be so casual."
As he said that, regardless of He Yuzhou's wishes, he clamped the horse's belly with his legs, turned the horse around, and ran back the way he came back.
He Yuzhou was startled, and seeing himself getting farther and farther away from the teahouse, he turned his head and glared at the man: "I said no, don't you understand?"
The man heard it but didn't answer, He Yuzhou struggled.
"Hey, Miss He!" There was Madam Lu's voice faintly behind him, He Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment, then looked back slightly, and saw her urging the groom to chase him in a carriage.
He Yuzhou's eyes widened, this Mrs. Lu was chasing after him!
He Yuzhou turned his head suddenly, and he heard the man ask in his ear: "What's wrong? Is the lady looking for you? Do you need me to stop?"
"No!" He Yuzhou shook his head, swallowed his saliva and said, "Please hurry up, I want to see the doctor."
Hearing this, the man frowned, turned his head slightly to look at Mrs. Lu, then looked down at He Yuzhou, clamped his horse belly, and left Mrs. Lu behind.
When he came out of the pharmacy, He Yuzhou's wound was healed. The man paid the money, and he didn't bring any money with him.
He stepped out of the pharmacy, and the man followed behind him with his hands behind his back.
He Yuzhou got rid of Mrs. Lu at this time, and his knee didn't hurt like before, so he couldn't help but calm down to the man: "Thank you for bringing me here."
The man shook his head: "I hit you, it should be, I'll send you back."
"Yeah." He Yuzhou didn't refuse. He has trouble with his legs and feet now, and this town is indeed some distance away from the village.
When he went back, he was anxious when he didn't come. The man helped He Yuzhou onto the horse, but he didn't sit on it himself. He pulled the horse and led He Yuzhou back slowly.
"The girl lives in Hekou Village? Why have you never seen her before?"
He Yuzhou said: "I just moved here, and my name is He Yuzhou."
"Oh. That's it." The man pursed his lips: "It's true that I haven't visited Hekou Village for a while."
What he said was strange, and He Yuzhou couldn't help asking: "The young master is also from Hekou Village?"
"Hmm." The man held the rein with one hand behind his back, replied softly, and then explained rather bluntly: "The family has moved away from Hekou Village, but I will come back to visit from time to time."
He Yuzhou thought about it, but he really couldn't think of anyone in Hekou Village who lived away from the village, so he couldn't help asking, "What's your name, sir?"
The man raised his head slightly to look at He Yuzhou, his knife-like facial features became more three-dimensional in the sunlight, with a unique masculine beauty, when he opened his mouth to reply to He Yuzhou, a sword suddenly appeared beside him.
The reflection of the sword light made He Yuzhou narrow his eyes uncomfortably. When he opened his eyes again, there was a soft sword in the man's hand. Where the blade pointed, it suppressed Nu Yi who was holding the long sword.
He Yuzhou called out in surprise, "Nui?"
Nu Yi turned her head when she heard the words, and swung the man's soft sword with a long sword, and came to He Yuzhou: "Xiaozhou, are you alright?"
He Yuzhou shook his head.
Nu Yi pursed her lips and squinted at the man in black robe and said, "Just now the lady said that you were kidnapped by this man."
He Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment. He had just fallen to the ground, and was forcefully helped onto the horse by this man, and then was carried away from the village by a man who ignored his struggle. People who did not know the situation from a distance would indeed think that he was Hijacked.
He thought so, and explained: "No, you misunderstood, I accidentally bumped into this young man's horse, and injured my knee, so he took him to see the doctor."
"Injured?" Nu Yi seemed a little nervous, put the long sword back into the scabbard, and ran to the side, trying to check He Yuzhou's knee.
He Yuzhou said awkwardly: "It's okay, the doctor has already seen it."
"Yeah." Nu Yi frowned and said, with self-blame flashing across his face: "Then let's go back."
He Yuzhou nodded towards Nuyi, looked at the man in black robe who had been silent beside him and said, "My lord, thank you very much for today, we will go back first."
As he said, he was about to get off the horse with the help of Nuyi, but the man stopped him and said: "It's inconvenient for the girl to hurt her leg, so let the horse drive the girl back first. I will return to the village in a few days, and I will come to pick up the stool when the time comes." yes."
"This..." He Yuzhou wanted to refuse, but the man didn't give him a chance to refuse, so he turned around and left, leaving the horse behind.
He Yuzhou was taken aback, and yelled at him twice, but he didn't pay attention, so He Yuzhou could only say, "Then you go back to the village and come to the Hekou Teahouse on the main road at the entrance of the village to find your horse."
The man waved his hand to show that he knew.
Nu Yi looked at the man's back, and silently pulled the horse forward, his tight lips revealed that he had something on his mind.
He Yuzhou looked at it, and couldn't help asking in doubt: "What's the matter? But you were thinking about Mrs. Lu just now?"
"No." Nu Yi shook her head: "Mrs. Lu was persuaded to go back by a caller called Uncle An. I was thinking about the man just now."
"Huh?" He Yuzhou wondered, "What happened to him?"
"He has great martial arts skills, who exactly is he?"
He Yuzhou froze for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know, but is he very good at martial arts?"
"Yeah." Nu Yi lowered his eyes heavily: "Nu Yi practiced martial arts at the age of three. Although his aptitude is stupid, as long as he has a sword in his hand, he can be called a master, and that man can suppress me who is holding a long sword. , he must not be simple."
When He Yuzhou heard the words, he thought about it thoughtfully, and said with a smile, "Where is there such a master, Nu Yi is too worried. He is just a person who moved out of Hekou Village. He just went back to his hometown to have a look."
Nu Yi pursed her lips and frowned tightly: "I hope it will be as Xiao Zhou said."
After He Yuzhou went back, he immediately replaced all the women's clothes and wiped off the rouge on his face. The clothes Mrs. Lu gave him were still lying on the table in the teahouse. He Yuzhou asked Uncle Zhao to help them return them. Uncle Yi reported to Uncle An that he was fine and told them not to worry. Uncle An asked Zhao Yi to return a word to He Yuzhou and let him rest well.
On the second day, the man who clearly said he would come to Hekou Village to pick up horses in a few days showed up at the teahouse.
He Yuzhou looked at him slightly in surprise, he came in and looked around, and finally fixed his eyes on He Yuzhou, looking at his manly attire, surprise flashed in his eyes, but was quickly covered up, he walked to He Yuzhou in front of.
He Yuzhou smiled: "My lord, are you here to fetch the horse? The horse is in the stable below. I'll have someone take you to fetch it."
As he said that, he wanted to call Qin Huan. Qin Huan was currently eating snacks in the bamboo house.
The man stopped him: "No hurry, I happen to be a little hungry, let's eat something first."
As he spoke, he looked at the menu board behind He Yuzhou and asked, "What's delicious here?"
"Huh?" He Yuzhou thought for a while and said, "My lord is hungry, why don't you try our barbecue and stewed meat, maybe it would be good with some pancakes and steamed buns."
Thinking that men should not like sweets, He Yuzhou didn't introduce sweet snacks to him.
The man raised his eyebrows and said, "Then let's talk about what you said."
With that said, he chose a seat by the window and sat down.
He Yuzhou turned around and entered the bamboo house, but after a while, he brought the things the man asked for and delivered them to the man. The man's eyes turned to He Yuzhou's leg, and he frowned and asked, "It still hurts?"
He Yuzhou was slightly taken aback, only to realize that he was talking about his knees, he shook his head slightly and smiled and said, "It's already much better, just to thank you for taking me to the doctor yesterday, I'll take this meal, my lord, don't dislike it." .”
Hearing this, the man twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he was smiling, but his expression was a little stiff, he said: "That's nothing, you are a teahouse here, why don't you see any tea?"
The man flipped the wooden sign in his hand, He Yuzhou smiled and said, "Isn't it on the sign in your hand?"
"Fruit tea?" The man asked He Yuzhou, looking a little uninterested, He Yuzhou said: "If these are not to your taste, you can look over there."
He Yuzhou pointed to the sign above the counter.
The man glanced at it and asked, "Is there any wine?"
"Wine?" He Yuzhou shook his head in surprise.
The man pursed his lips and did not speak again. His eyes began to carefully look at every listing above the counter, and finally fixed his eyes on the most expensive scented tea—"Epiphyllum tea?"
"100 taels for a bowl of tea?" the man asked.
He Yuzhou said: "Yes and no, this tea is indeed 100 taels, but it comes with a banquet of epiphyllum."
"Epiphyllum banquet?" The man became interested, and said, "Then let me try it."
He Yuzhou shook his head: "This epiphyllum tea and epiphyllum feast are not always available."
The man looked at He Yuzhou, and He Yuzhou explained: "Young master also knows that this epiphyllum blooms at night and withers after one night. It is very rare, and it is even more difficult to keep it fresh. Picking it is even more difficult. So there is no such thing in the store. If you want it Tea, you have to set a time."
"Oh?" The man raised his eyebrows, He Yuzhou said: "You are sure you really want this tea, I will go back to take care of the epiphyllum at home, on the night of flowering, I will inform the young master to come, and I will make epiphyllum tea for the young master, of course, the banquet is also. "
"Interesting." The man pursed his lips and said, took out 100 taels from his pocket, and put it on the table: "Then I'll make a decision."
He Yuzhou smiled and took the money: "My lord, tell me where I live. If the epiphyllum blooms, I will notify you."
"No need." The man said, "I will come here every day from now on."
He Yuzhou was taken aback, but the man didn't explain. He just picked up a piece of stewed meat with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, "Now make me a cup of tea, I'm thirsty."
He Yuzhou thought for a while, then turned around to boil water, order some tea and choose flowers, and made him a cup of chrysanthemum tea.
The man looked at He Yuzhou without blinking, with a suitable expression, as if he felt that watching him was a kind of enjoyment.
After He Yuzhou delivered the tea to him, he took a few sips. He didn't show any special expression, but he also accepted the taste of scented tea. He Yuzhou couldn't help being a little disappointed, thinking that the man would feel it, or he was also an expert in tea tasting. But obviously not, he seems to drink tea specifically to quench his thirst, maybe such a person would prefer wine, and his appearance is also unrestrained, so wine would indeed suit him better.
As He Yuzhou thought about it, his eyes flickered, and he remembered something.
From that day on, the man did come to the teahouse on time every day. He arrived when He Yuzhou opened the door, and left on his black horse when He Yuzhou closed the door.
He doesn't talk much, but he will catch up with He Yuzhou a few words every day.
Thinking of the man, He Yuzhou remembered what he thought of that day - a kind of wine, wine.
On this day, He Yuzhou asked Nu Yi to go to the mountain to help pick some mountain grapes, and when he came back, he started to make wine.
Wine is not difficult to make, but it is difficult to wait. After the grapes are crushed, they must wait for them to ferment slowly. During this period, they must be watched frequently to prevent them from becoming sour.
Because the weather is hot now, after a few days, there will be a faint smell of wine. He Yuzhou packed a small bottle and prepared to bring it to the man. The rest will continue to be sealed. The longer the wine is, the better it will taste. Now I spoon some out just for the man to taste. .
The epiphyllum at home seemed to be about to bloom. He Yuzhou observed it carefully, and estimated that it would bloom tonight. It seemed that this man had to have a feast of the epiphyllum tonight.
After giving the wine to the man during the day, He Yuzhou formally invited him to taste the Epiphyllum banquet and Epiphyllum tea in the small courtyard of his house at night.
The man agreed, so he didn't leave. He went home with He Yuzhou when He Yuzhou closed.
He Yuzhou had some dark lines. When Nu Yi and Qin Huan went out to meet He Yuzhou, they saw the man was a bit hostile.
He Yuzhou approached Nu Yi, tugged at his sleeve and said, "This is a guest. I took his silver taels and said I would sell him epiphyllum tea, so I brought him back. Don't be too hostile, it's okay. of."
Nu Yi pursed her lips when she heard the words, and didn't answer, but she didn't make her expression too obvious anymore.
A few days ago, when the man bought the epiphyllum tea, He Yuzhou transplanted the epiphyllum tea into the flower plate. When the man came, He Yuzhou brought it in front of the man from the shade.
It was still a while before it was in full bloom, so He Yuzhou made some meals and invited the man to have some together, and after eating, he and he waited in the yard for the epiphyllum to bloom.
Nu Yi didn't want to see the man, and was afraid that the man would do something wrong to He Yuzhou, so she sent Qin Huan into the house and stayed by He Yuzhou's side.
The man ignored him, took out the small bottle of wine that He Yuzhou had given him, sat in the courtyard and drank for himself, with a contented expression on his face.
Although he didn't speak, he seemed to enjoy his expression.
After a pot of wine was finished, the man seemed a little tipsy because the moonlight was too alluring, or the wine was really full of stamina.
At this time, at around midnight, the moonlight was shining lightly, and the epiphyllum in front of the man was glowing with a white halo. Suddenly, they stretched out, and in just a moment, dozens of epiphyllum were in full bloom, spreading out their beautiful white coats , revealing the tender yellow flower heart inside, and in an instant, the courtyard was filled with fragrance.
"It's so beautiful." He Yuzhou sighed, and his men didn't stop. He had already taken the tea set in the courtyard, and the kettle was also burning. At this time, he just ordered the tea leaves, made the tea and filtered the water, and took the best tea. water, pick the most suitable petals into the tea, and gently brush the tea cover.
The man looked at He Yuzhou without blinking, with inexplicable affection in his eyes, he continued: "Flowers are beautiful, people are more beautiful."
He Yuzhou was concentrating on making tea, but he didn't hear what the man said, but Nu Yi heard his words clearly, and couldn't help being a little more hostile towards him.
After a while, the fragrance of flowers mixed with the fragrance of tea wafted in the courtyard. He Yuzhou took off the tea cover with a light smile, and pushed the tea in front of the man: "Okay."
The man looked down at the tea on the table. There were a few epiphyllum petals floating on the clear tea, which looked really nice.
Pick it up and smell it closely, the strong tea fragrance and the light fragrance complement each other.
The man glanced at He Yuzhou, blew lightly, and took a sip.
After the bitterness in the mouth, there is a touch of sweetness, the lingering fragrance, the fragrance of epiphyllum lingers between the teeth for a long time, never dissipating, it is the real lingering fragrance in the mouth.
Even if a man doesn't like to drink tea, even if a man doesn't know how to taste tea, he still understands that this tea is not simple.
His eyes flickered, he put down the teacup and said, "It seems that the 100 taels are not in vain."
"That's natural." He Yuzhou chuckled, taking advantage of the opening of the epiphyllum, he quickly picked off a dozen of the epiphyllum, and carried the oil lamp into the kitchen.
He took out two flowers and boiled a pot of soup with shredded pork. The soup was so thick that three bowls of water boiled into one bowl, which was just enough for a man to taste.
I took two more flowers for cold dressing, picked the petals off, poured water, and then mixed with seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, the taste was very refreshing.
Take three more flowers and make epiphyllum porridge.
I took three more flowers, washed them all, rolled them with egg liquid and flour, and fried them in a pan, until they were cooked into shapes and placed on a plate.
For the last two flowers, He Yuzhou boiled them with water until the epiphyllum was about to melt, then added rock sugar and continued to boil until they melted to make a dessert. This dessert is sweet and smooth, delicious, He Yuzhou himself I don't like sugar very much but I like this dessert very much.
I gave it to this man tonight, I'm afraid it will be wasted, he doesn't seem to like sweets.
Thinking of this, He Yuzhou brought these out for the man to taste.
The man was a little surprised when he saw these. He ate a few bites of each, and finally settled on Epiphyllum Soup, Cold Epiphyllum and Fried Epiphyllum.
After eating all three of these, he stopped moving, and He Yuzhou looked at the cup of rock sugar epiphyllum with distress.
The man scooped out half of the bowl and ate a few mouthfuls before he stopped moving. There was still a full cup in the cup.
The man seemed to have spotted He Yuzhou's reluctance, and pushed the sugar water down in front of He Yuzhou: "This is not bad, you should try it too."
"..." He Yuzhou had some dark lines, and felt that the man must have seen his distress, but now he could only bite the bullet and taste a few mouthfuls: "Yes...it's pretty good."
It's really awkward to praise yourself.
The man pulled his lips at him, and he seemed to be smiling again, with a somewhat stiff facial expression.
He Yuzhou put down the spoon: "This epiphyllum tea is only one plant, it seems that I will be able to sell this epiphyllum tea for the second time in the next year."
The man's eyes flickered: "I'll give you a few more plants."
He Yuzhou was taken aback, and the man said, "I happen to have a few plants in my house. If you need them, I'll bring them to you."
"...Actually, don't bother." He Yuzhou just mentioned it casually. He felt a little embarrassed when the man said this.
The man replied: "It's not a trouble, if you want to thank me, you can help me make more wine."
He Yuzhou laughed when he heard the words, men really like to drink a lot.
After eating the epiphyllum banquet, it was already midnight, He Yuzhou didn't know where the man lived, and it was not easy to drive him away so late, so he said, "Then young master, stay here and leave tomorrow."
"Alright." The man replied, He Yuzhou asked Nu Yi to move next to him to live with Qin Huan for one night, and the east wing room was vacated for the man.
In the early morning of the second day, there was no sign of the man in the East Wing. He Yuzhou thought that he might have gone back, so he ignored it.
After breakfast, the two came to the teahouse as usual, but on the way, they met many people chatting about something.
He Yuzhou frowned, somewhat puzzled.
Then one person shouted: "Look, the people from the He family are here!"
"?!" Suddenly hearing the members of the He family, He Yuzhou's heart trembled, and he looked in the direction the villagers pointed.
Three extremely luxurious carriages slowly drove into the village road, all the way to the old house of the He family.
Only then did He Yuzhou remember that it was already September, and it was time for Uncle Zhao's He family to come here to hunt and play in autumn.
He clenched his fists.
He family!
"Xiaozhou? What's the matter with you, Xiaozhou?" Nu Yi found that He Yuzhou had stopped, with an ugly expression on his face, and couldn't help but worry.
He Yuzhou took a deep breath and said, "No, it's fine."
He spoke extremely calmly, if it wasn't for his pale face, Nu Yi would have believed it, but his expression betrayed him, Nu Yi looked at He Yuzhou worriedly, He Yuzhou raised his steps again and said, "Let's go, let's go teahouse."
Arriving at the teahouse, he found three people sitting there. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and when they approached, they smelled like perfume. He Yuzhou frowned, and asked, "What's the matter with the three girls guarding the door of my teahouse?"
"What? You are the owner of this teahouse?" The three women stood up and immediately looked fierce. "This is the field of my He family. Why did you build a teahouse here!"
The He family, these three people belong to the He family, and this field belongs to the He family in the town, so these three people should not be from the He family in the county seat but from the He family in the town. Xi only has three daughters. Looking at these three people, they are probably He Xi's three daughters. Originally, the last time He Yuzhou appeared in front of Wen Qiurong disguised as a woman, he should have had a face-to-face meeting with them. He remembered them too much, and they didn't recognize him after he put on men's clothes. He Yuzhou narrowed his eyes and asked, "You said this is your He family's field? Where's the evidence? Where's Tian Qie?"
"Tian Qi is in Ding Fu's hands," said a woman.
He Yuzhou sneered: "Then let him take it out."
"How could it be possible to get it out, he has already gone to jail." One of the women said.
Another woman immediately added: "However, even if Tian Qie is taken to prison, this is the land of my He family and it belongs to my He family. Why do you occupy it privately?"
"Private possession?" He Yuzhou sneered: "This is my rightful field. I have a field, and my name is written on the field. If you don't believe me, go to the government to check it?"
"You..." A woman stepped forward violently: "How dare you provoke our He family!"
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves and was about to step forward, but Nu Yi stepped in front of He Yuzhou, and Qin Huan hid behind He Yuzhou.
"What's the matter?" Suddenly, a cold voice came from beside his ear. He Yuzhou looked back and saw that it was the young master from last night. With just one look, he led Qin Huan to open the door of the teahouse.
"cousin!"
"Congratulations cousin!"
"Brother Jingdong!"
The three women shouted suddenly when they saw the man.
He Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment and turned around.
Then he saw the man nodded towards the three women, and the three women ran towards him very happily.
"Cousin, this person has taken over our He family's field!"
The man's surname is He!It's from the He family!He Yuzhou's eyes suddenly widened. The He family in the town has no sons, and the He family in the county only has the son of Shang Zhuojun——He Jingdong.
This person is Shang Zhuojun's son - He Jingdong!
He Yuzhou looked at the man in disbelief. The man felt He Yuzhou's gaze, looked at him, and slightly softened his face.
