24, cliff
The seventh prince looked at the lost-stated Zhong Zicheng, sighed, picked up the crystal teacup, and took a slight sip. In the mouth of the tea, an unspeakable bitterness suddenly filled his mouth. This kind of bitterness was better than any medicinal soup he had ever eaten. Even Huang Lian did not have the bitterness of tea.
Putting down the teacup, the facial features of the seventh prince can't help but be entangled. If he pours a mouthful like Zhong Zicheng, I'm afraid it will be ugly to vomit.
"The bitterness of this tea is the most I have ever seen in my life." The seventh prince said, "The tea soup is colorless and fragranceless. It looks like clear water, but it is bitterer than Huanglian, but after surviving this bitterness, there is a kind of sweetness. It is because of this bitterness that the sweetness is sweeter than honey, which makes people try their best to wait to find it. Show the true meaning of suffering in silence, and there is no lack of hope of bitterness and sweetness. This tea is unique in the world. Compared with the grandstanding neon cloud tea, the weight and artistic conception of this tea show life.
"The hundred flavors of life are led by the five flavors of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty. Of course, this bitterness is also a taste of life." Cheng Yuanjia picked up the teacup in front of him, stared at the transparent tea, and said quietly, "The name of this tea is Cliff. There are always several times in one's life that people will walk to the cliff and continue to move forward. There is an abyss in front of them. There is a lot of bad luck and less luck, and life and death are even more uncertain. But if you retreat, it is to retreat. No matter why you walk to the cliff, and then retreat, you can no longer achieve your goal. The so-called cliff pulls off is just the act of a coward. It's like this tea, although it is extremely bitter and ten times better than Huang Lian, if you spit it out, you will lose the qualification to drink this tea. Only by insisting on drinking it can you experience the true taste of this tea. If you enter, there is no way; if you retreat, there is no hope. If you grit your teeth, you will be patient. This is my cliff.
After a pause, he said, "The bitterness of tea is really a little witch compared with life, but if you can't even stand the bitterness of tea and only accept the sweet fruit, how can this kind of person achieve great things?"
The seventh prince pondered for a while and patted the case and said, "If you go in, there is no way. If you retreat, there is no hope. It's a cliff."
After saying that, he got up and bowed to Cheng Yuanjia and said, "Thank you, Junjun, for drinking this tea. Wei Yihao is very grateful."
Cheng Yuanjia did not get up, but also returned the salute with a kneeling posture and said, "Thank you, the seventh prince for tasting the tea. It is only the prince who can really taste this tea."
Zhong Zicheng was stunned on the side, and the original action of nibbling pears also stopped. A cup of tea that was extremely bitter was turned into an opinion on life by the two of them, and the seventh prince did not flatter Qinrou Junjun face to face from beginning to end, which made him think that the seventh prince was catering to the preferences of the county king. The idea of interacting with him has all disappeared.
Cheng Yuanjia picked up the teacup again and drank the tea in one gulp.
Zhong Zicheng, who had been looking at her, hurriedly said, "Don't drink. It's very bitter." It suddenly occurred to me that it was she who made the tea, and the tea was also hers. If she didn't know the taste of the tea, no one would know, and then she found that she had done another stupid thing.
Tea is very bitter, but how can it reach the bitterness in Cheng Yuanjia's heart? After being in love for thousands of years, lovers don't know where to go. After waiting for thousands of years, they are smashed and looking for. When will this thousand years of love come to an end? Giving up, that's thousands of unwillingness. This thousand-year-old missing is not something that can be put down, but moving forward, which family is he reincarnated to? How old is it this year? Do you have a wife? If he has married a wife, how will she deal with herself? The front is like a cliff, which makes her confused about whether to jump down or not.
Drinking a cup of tea, Cheng Yuanjia didn't even move her eyebrows. She stood up quietly and walked out of the waterhouse.
There was silence in the waterhouse for a moment. The seventh prince slowly drank the remaining tea in the cup and tasted the bitter life. Zhong Zicheng's face was gloomy and he stared at the seventh prince to stop talking.
The maid Zhen'er came to clean up the tea set on Cheng Yuanjia's table and was stopped by the seventh prince.
"Give me that teapot." The seventh prince stretched out his hand.
Zhen'er dared not disobey the order of the seventh prince and handed him the teapot in her hand.
He filled himself with a cup of tea. The seventh prince also learned from what Cheng Yuanjia had just looked like. He drank all the tea in one breath and resisted the impulse to spit out, but the extremely bitter taste still made him frown.
"Alas!" With a long sigh, the seventh prince put down the teacup. He always knew that Cheng Yuanjia had unspeakable bitterness in her heart, but he never knew that the bitterness in her heart was so deep that even this kind of bitter tea could not compare with her bitterness.
Zhong Zicheng struggled for a long time. Suddenly, he stood in front of the seventh prince and knelt down on one knee and said, "The seventh prince, I'm willing to bet and lose. This time I am convinced. From today on, I will be a subordinate of the seventh prince, and only the seventh prince's order is to obey. Please don't blame the original rude behavior.
"What is General Zhong talking about? Let's make friends. I also admire the name of the general's heroism. How can I treat the general below? The seventh prince hurried forward and prepared to help Zhong Zicheng.
Zhong Zicheng sank his waist, insisted on kneeling on the ground and said, "Since I have made a bet, I won't pay the bill. The kindness of the seventh prince is very admirable, but I will never believe it."
"Well, since General Zhong insists on this, I'll just accept you. Please get up quickly." The seventh prince said helplessly, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy. After all, this was his first subordinate, and Zhong Zicheng and his father were in charge of the garrison of the capital, which was a great help to him.
Zhong Zicheng took the opportunity to stand up this time and said to the seventh prince, "Since I am already a subordinate of the seventh prince, what will happen to the seventh prince in the future, just send someone to my house or the military camp to order. As long as I can do it, I will do my best."
"General Zhong's words are heavy." Seeing that he had stood up, the seventh prince breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's my luck to get the help of General Zhong."
After Zhong Zicheng put aside his precepts, he had a good talk with the seventh prince, and both of them had the intention of meeting him late.
And Cheng Yuanjia did not pay attention to the follow-up development of Shuixie. For her, she had already made tea and drank tea, and the matter was over.
After walking out of the water wing, I saw Zhou Huan sitting by a flower bed not far from the water wing. Just as she chatted with the seventh prince and waited for the water to open, Zhou Huan had already walked out of the water house and wandered around. He came with the seventh prince, so the bodyguard was not rude to him. As long as he did not make a dangerous move, he would look around the scenery.
"Have they finished the comparison?" Zhou Huan stood up and walked in the direction of the waterside, ready to go back with the seventh prince.
"After the comparison, in fact, there is nothing to compare. That person is going to lose to the seventh prince." Cheng Yuanjia said lightly.
"I know." Zhou Huan smiled and said, "But that man is still very cute."
When Zhou Huan and Cheng Yuanjia passed by, Cheng Yuanjia stopped him: "Mr. Zhou, please stay."
"What's the matter, Junjun?" Zhou Huan stopped and turned around and asked.
Cheng Yuanjia was so close to Zhou Huan for the first time. Looking at this face that looked like Zhou Qianyun, she couldn't help but be in a trance.
" Mr. Zhou, I want to ask you a question. When your relatives are in danger, and you can save them, but the price you pay is your life. What will you do? Cheng Yuanjia stared at Zhou Huan and asked.
"That depends on how important this dangerous relative is to me." Zhou Huan did not answer her immediately.
"It's your very important person, such as your parents and brothers."
"If there is only one person, then I won't save it. Otherwise, my life will be replaced, and I will die. If it's two people, I'll save it and earn one. Zhou Huan's answer is very practical.
"Is there anyone who wants him to live well even if you sacrifice yourself?" Cheng Yuanjia continued to ask.
"No at present." Zhou Huan suddenly stared at Cheng Yuanjia and said, "What does Junjun mean by asking me like this?"
"Nothing." Cheng Yuanjia turned around and walked slowly, saying, "I think if there is a person who can sacrifice his life for me, then I will feel very happy. Three days ago, the seventh prince did it. He used his life to protect me. I want to see if there is anyone else who can protect me like him, but it's a pity that I want to ask too much.
Zhou Huan was stunned in place. Looking at Cheng Yuanjia's lonely back, he couldn't help but feel pain in his heart.
