085 North Water

After saying that, Pei Du hesitated for a moment and said, "The master also said that the second master recognized the way, and he did not need to be served there, so there was no need for others to follow him. On the New Year's greetings, he agreed that his relatives did not have to go there one by one, and the young master went to greet him on the first day of the New Year.

The Pei family knew that Master Pei was not a director, so they nodded to know. Xuan didn't have much to say. After looking at Second Master Pei for a long time, he finally had nothing to say, so he had to say, "Do you hear it? The master loves quietness. Don't please him if you have nothing to do in the future. I can't persuade him to get angry. He smiled and said to Second Master Pei, "It's rare. I wanted to say hello, but I didn't think there was that blessing. In this case, we dare not ask the master to wait for a long time. Let's go. It's just that Ziyao went later and had to bother the second master to help him say something. During the Spring Festival, it was impossible for the child to invite An Zhen'er to refuse, didn't he?

Master Pei was impatient. When he saw Xuan's mouth and listened carefully, he finally smiled strangely and said, "Naturally yes."

Then he asked Du Heng, Du Zhong and Qijia to wait here. Seeing that Shang Lu arranged for someone to take them to have a tea break, Fang said goodbye to Mrs. Pei and others and took Yunqing to continue to the backyard.

After all, it's the Spring Festival, and there are more servants in the garden than usual. When the new servant sees the two of them rushing, it is inevitable to cross-examination one or two, and the old servant is busy salute and greet each other. It takes a lot of time. Second Master Pei is getting more and more annoyed. Fortunately, she soon arrived at a secluded place. According to the direction, it was the westernmost of Pei's house. From a distance, it was Maolin Xiuzhu. When she approached, she found a secluded winding path, which was a bluestone paved grove. Second Master Pei pulled her straight in and walked forward, and saw the more the sky. It turns out that there is another lake in the depths of the bamboo forest. The buildings on the island in the middle of the lake are stacked with branches. Although it is winter and there are no flowers and brocade, it is decorated with the remnant snow of the blue lake, and there is also the beauty of dead trees in spring. Huxin Island is surrounded by remnants of lotus charm. Presumably, in midsummer, you can also see the beautiful scenery of "the lotus leaves are infinitely blue, and the lotus flowers are different red in the sun". Further on, you will see two small boats on the shore, equipped with oars, oil paper, umbrellas and other things. Each boat has a man in his 40s. As soon as the two saw Second Master Pei rushing to the shore to salute, they thought it was the servant of Pei's hometown.

Master Pei just really smiled and personally came forward to help them get up and said, "I didn't feel at home until I saw your two brothers. Qing'er, come and salute the two uncles.

Yunqing hurried forward. I only heard from Second Master Pei's introduction: "This is the two brothers Zheng Xi and Zheng Mang. They are the companions of me and my eldest brother. They grew up together and are like brothers." He also said to the second brother of the Zheng family, "Yunqing, my righteous daughter will be your niece in the future." Yunqing hurriedly said, "Good New Year, Uncle Xi, and happy New Year, Uncle Mangan."

Brother Zheng Xi and Zheng Mang didn't dare to say anything, and praised, "Is this the lady in Lanyuan? It's really beautiful and not vulgar.

Second Master Pei smiled and said, "It's her." He looks very proud.

Zheng Xi led the two to board the boat, and Second Master Pei asked, "When did your brother choose such a job?"

Zheng Xi replied with a smile, "Where, the master heard that you came back and let the two of us take a ride. In the past, they were all on the island and never came out.

Zheng Mang left to wait for Pei Ziyao, and Zheng Xi sent him to the island. Second Master Pei and Zheng Xi only chatted a few words before arriving, but Zheng Xi went around to the west of Huxin Island and berthed a small boat. Yunqing looked up and saw "Wanfa Nature" written on the bluestone wall, which was also Zhang Ding's word. The entrance on the shore is the stone steps, and the starting point of the stone steps is naturally due west. Yunqing deliberately fell into the second half and carefully checked his clothes. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, he was a little relieved. He looked up and saw that Second Master Pei was looking back at her. Yunqing was not comfortable to say goodbye, but Second Master Pei laughed and grabbed her wrist and walked forward and said to Zheng Xi, "I'm afraid it's scared by our Mrs. Pei." Zheng Xi then said to Yunqing, "My master has the best nature. Not to mention the second master's daughter, even if she accidentally broke into the island without any relationship and didn't know him, she would send her away at most. She would never scold him." Yunqing thanked Zheng Xi.

Although it is an island, there is also the risk of stacking. The trees are messy, like wild elephants in the mountains. Seventy-eight stone steps went around, and the three of them walked around and talked, and soon reached the end. Yunqing looked back and saw that most of the stone railings were hidden in the gray branches in winter, but the end point was on the same line as the starting point, and the orientation was still facing west. Seeing Yunqing frowning and questioning, Second Master Pei said, "My eldest brother once divination for Ziyao when he first learned divination. The hexagram shows that the five elements lack water, which can be worthy of life and death. And the main tree of the Pei family's house, the eldest son's lack of water in five elements, isn't it going to cause the Pei family to die?

Yunqing suddenly realized: "So that's it. I said how could he wear a rare obsidian since he was a child? His name didn't mean that. It turned out that it was a lack of water for the five elements. So the West's main gold and Jinshengshui will open all the exits to the west? But..." Yunqing didn't dare to say any more.

Second Master Pei was clear and nodded and said, "But Xijin Kedongmu. In the west, in fact, it was to protect Beishui Ziyao and damage Dongmu Pei's house.

Yunqing was surprised, but it was unexpected and reasonable to think about it. It's just that Pei Ziyao loves his father so much that this life must be enough.

However, when thinking about the words on the stone wall just now, he couldn't help laughing and said, "If that's the case, why do you have to title 'All Laws Naturally'?" While trying to change, he comforted himself that he had to obey, which was not happy.

Master Pei and Zheng Xi looked at each other and smiled separately. Second Master Pei asked, "In your opinion, what's the best word to write?"

Yunqing looked around, and it had reached the end of the stone steps. There was a thick and short stone corridor three or four feet long. Next to the corridor, there was a flower shelf on which the branches were coiled, like roses and vines. Outside the flower shelf were various kinds of flowers and trees, including elms and mulberry, willows and poplars. The heights and thickness were different. He wanted to come to midsummer. It must be a beautiful scenery full of vegetation and flowers. Yunqing yearned for it and smiled, "It's better if it's 'Zhongzheng Anshu'."

Zheng Xi asked, "What's the solution?"

Yunqing laughed and said, "It is really not 'natural' to measure the will of heaven with divination and change the number of fortunes by arrays. It's not like 'Zhongzheng Anshu', frank, open and generous, and harmless to others, but it's enough to ask for peace of mind.

Zheng Xi nodded repeatedly and said, "It's true. Unfortunately, 'Zhongzheng Anshu' is simple to say, but it is a little more difficult to do than 'natural'. I'm afraid that those who are not enlightened can't do it.

In this way, Yunqing and Second Master Pei couldn't help but fall into meditation.

At the end of the corridor is a white stone arch. The door is extremely small and can be walked side by two people. Walking through the stone door, it is suddenly enlightened. However, seeing the layers of platforms, the green tiles, the frying eaves, and the Danying are engraved, which is more gorgeous and exquisite than the solemn Pei family. Zheng Xi took them into the copper ring Zhumen in the west corner. As soon as he entered the door, Yunqing's eyes were panicked. The smoke inside was thick, the fragrance of medicine was strong, and it was roasted like a hot summer day. He looked at it like a Taoist alchemy room. Zheng Xi apologized and said, "Second Master, please." It's probably inconvenient for him to get in.

Second Master Pei resigned Zheng Xi, took Yunqing's hand and walked forward, shouting as he walked, "Brother, it's Wen Bai!" After shouting twice, Yun Qingfang saw a gray cloth figure coming in front of him. From a distance, he looked like Pei Ziyao, and from a close look, he looked like Second Master Pei. When he saw Yunqing, he looked up and down, and finally smiled at Second Master Pei, "Are you convinced? My gossip said that although you have no daughter in your life, you have a father-daughter relationship. You still don't believe it. You deliberately only accept female apprentices and not righteous daughters. I don't believe that what you brought here today is still your female apprentice.

Master Pei made the smoke dry and cough twice and said, "Yes, yes, it's my daughter. Hurry up and bring her to meet her uncle - what kind of medicine are you refining? The taste is too rushed. Find another place to talk quickly. I'm here to ask you to plead guilty. Don't make friends."

Mr. Pei slapped Mr. Pei on the forehead and said, "No big or small!" Then he smiled kindly at Yunqing and said, "My name is Yunqing, Suzhou. I met you before. At that time, you were too young, seven years old, so tall. With that, I made a gesture. Yunqing didn't remember at all. He just smiled apologetically. Before he saluted, Master Pei said, "Come on, I know you're coming. I've prepared a pot of tea." He took them out to the nearest flower hall.

Second Master Pei sat down and touched an apple and bit it. Master Pei grabbed it and said, "It's cold. If you are in a hurry, you will have a stomachache. Drink tea to warm your spleen and stomach first." With that, he put away the apple and handed him a cup of tea.

The tea was clear and slightly bitter. Yunqing took the tea and smiled: "It's ** tea."

Master Pei also poured a glass for himself and said with a smile, "More than that, you drink and have a look."

Yunqing took a sip of the cold tea and savored it carefully for a long time. He said, "The mouth is sweet, and the aftertaste is slightly bitter, slightly astringent, and slightly cold. Maybe the frosted ** Lian Qingshuang took off the shade and dry collection, supplemented by wolfberry, loquat and... but it was not very good. But later, about a layer of honey was spread in the jar. As for what kind of honey... The taste is sweet and sweet, is it locust nectar? When brewing, you must have added some rock sugar to suppress the bitter taste of brewing chrysanthemum.

Master Pei laughed with three wis of clear beards and said yes repeatedly. Finally, Fang said, "Half of them are right. However, wild**, dried snow pears, plum blossom snow water and other things have been added. Although it is made, the wooden barrel of brewing is used, but the wooden barrel is cut extremely thinly, and the outside is smeared with layers of honey. Because it is placed in a cool place, it penetrates very slowly, but it is also very tasty, so there is no need to add rock sugar to flavor when brewing.

Yunqing nodded repeatedly and was surprised. He lowered his head for a few times to taste. The more he felt bitter and sweet, the more he felt that it was astringent and greasy, cool and moist, sweet and refreshing. Second Master Pei tasted tea and listened quietly. When the two of them finished speaking, he said, "Brother, I know your rules of divination for others, and you only divination only once in your life. Yunqing's this time, I want to help her beg now.
