Chapter 4 Describe a house and a family word by word
(Second update, please collect~~)
The heavy snow does not stop, and the strong wind is even more rapid. Like a roaring beast, it raises endless snowflakes and clusters of withered yellow wormwood on the broken wall.
The owner of this house is obviously an elegant person. Although the courtyard is gradually mottled and vicissitudes, there are pavilions and bamboos everywhere, and the water corridors are clever and vulgar. There are a large number of plaques, couplets, calligraphy and painting, carvings, and tablet stones between the beams and columns of the four houses, which are elegant and exquisite.
The reason why Zhang Yan bought this courtyard with a tough attitude is purely a momentary effort**. Maybe the cultural atmosphere of this courtyard reminds him of the good time when he studied with Zeng. Maybe it is only because it is similar to the mansion built by Zhang Yongtai in Cuishan Town...
Zhang Yan pushed open the red lacquer gate and entered the main hall in the wind and snow.
Zhang Yongtai, with a Chinese face, small eyes and a beard on his jaw, is paling around the hall. He looks much better. After two years of recuperation, his body is even a little fat.
He looked depressed and walked slowly. It was not until Zhang Yan pushed the door and entered that he was awakened. He looked happy and smiled, "I'm worried about you stinky boy. I thought something was wrong with you!"
Saying that Zhang Yongtai was about to wipe the snowflakes on Zhang Yan's hair with a towel, but he saw that the snowflakes on Zhang Yan's body disappeared in an instant, as if they had not been eroded by the wind and snow. He smiled and said, "I forgot that you are a fairy now."
Since Zhang Yongtai was rescued by Zhang Yan two years ago, he seems to have become a different person and no longer scolded him as before. He has a gentle temper. But Zhang Yan doesn't like this kind of second uncle. In his opinion, it is really a pity if the second uncle is not careful, likes to take advantage of others, and likes to curse.
Walking to the charcoal basin and pulling the charcoal fire more vigorously, Zhang Yan said, "Uncle, I'm not a fairy. There is no fairy living in the mortal world. If I were, I would have flown to the fairyland."
Zhang Yongtai came over, sat on a chair, breathed a sigh of relief, and then pretended to be angry, "You just want to leave us so much. You son of a bitch, you have no conscience."
Zhang Yan smiled gently and felt the unique warmth of his relatives. He moved his chair and sat opposite Zhang Yongtai and said, "Uncle, haven't you ever heard of a person ascending to heaven? If I fly up, you and your second aunt will naturally fly up.
"Stop, stop, stop, do you mean that your second aunt and I are your chickens and dogs? You stinky boy, before, I have to slap you with a big ear, hehe. Zhang Yongtai picked up a beard on his jaw and distorted Zhang Yan's meaning with a smile.
"Uncle, you have to slap him. This boy is very grumpy now." Han Bin pushed the door and stood next to Zhang Yongtai with a mocking look on his face.
Of course, he was followed by the pale-faced second-generation Zu Dachun. After Dachun followed Han Bin into the room with low eyebrows, he respectfully said to Zhang Yongtai, "Auncle, I'm Qi Jingchun who lives next door. I'm here to visit you today."
Zhang Yongtai stood up as early as when he entered the house and heard that it was the son of the next door. He said with a smile, "Sit down quickly. Since you are Han Bin's good friend, you are not an outsider. Let your aunt cook two dishes, and we will have a little drink and get close. It's my sin that the neighbor didn't move until today after living for two years.
"Your uncle has said that it's not your fault. It's only the little nephew's fault for being careless and busy with his affairs all day long. It's the fault of our neighborhood..." Qi Jingchun hurriedly explained, with a look of shame on his face.
"Haha, okay, okay, okay, your child can talk. I will visit your father again another day. Well, since our two families live next to each other, we should walk around more." Zhang Yongtai's face was red and he laughed loudly.
Zhang Yan looked at this man in surprise. Unexpectedly, he was arrogant outside. At this time, he picked up his tail and became so obedient that he was more shameless than Han Bin.
When Qi Jingchun entered the house, he noticed that Han Bin's face did not kick him out. At this time, he saw that he cleverly won the favor of his second uncle, so it was difficult to say coldly.
Han Bin took a look at Zhang Yan with a relaxed face, blinked at Qi Jingchun, and secretly stretched out a thumb from behind. Qi Jingchun saw it, smiled, and returned an ambiguous look that was all under his control.
Zhang Yan saw their small movements in his eyes and couldn't help but feel cold. Are these two...
At this time, someone pushed the door and entered. Before the person came in, the smile came first, "What are your uncles and nephews discussing? Why are you so happy?"
It is Liu Yunzhi. Her face is radiant, and her pretty face has a healthy blush. The dark green silk is coiled behind her head by a wooden hairpin, which is capable and charming, and there is no withered color when Qianyuzong was rescued by Zhang Yan.
She walked in and saw that there were not only three of her own people in the room, but also a young man with a pale face and gorgeous clothes. He quickly restrained his smile and looked doubtful.
Han Bin once again acted as an introducer, describing the deep affection of his buddy, and pointed out that he was still the eldest son of the Qi family and his neighbor. Today, he came here to visit her and Zhang Yongtai, two elders.
Liu Yunzhi suddenly talked with Qi Jingchun and hurriedly went to the kitchen to pick up wine and vegetables. Looking at Zhang Yan's eyes, I couldn't help sighing that this dinner was settled...
The wind is rumbled outside and the snow is heavy, but the room is as warm as spring, smiling.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of wine and five flavors, the second ancestor Qi Jingchun once again successfully won the favor of Liu Yunzhi with his humble low posture, which can be seen from Zhang Yongtai's words about Dachun. Even when he left, Zhang Yongtai, who was slightly drunk, took Qi Jingchun's hand and made a decision, "Come to my house tomorrow. Let's drink and talk again!"
After Qi Jingchun left, Zhang Yan sent Han Bin, who was drunk with the wine, back to the room and returned to the main hall.
In the main hall, Zhang Yongtai sat calmly on the chair, holding a celadon cup and gently siping tea. There was no trace of drunkenness. Liu Yunzhi sat next to the charcoal basin, with a pair of cotton insoles embroidered with a needle in her hand. The red fire reflected her cheeks and added a soft breath.
Seeing Zhang Yan come in, Liu Yunzhi put down the needlework in her hand and said with a smile, "Yaoer, this spring has a lot of eyes. How do you know each other?"
"That's right, this little slippery mouth is slippery and a little frivolous." Zhang Yongtai took a sip of tea, sighed with satisfaction, and also opened his mouth.
Zhang Yan was stunned. He was about to explain it to the two elders. Now it's good. You don't have to talk about it. But he still recounted what happened today.
After listening, Liu Yunzhi shook her head, picked up the insole in her hand and sewed it up tightly again. She said, "Your second uncle and I have been doing business all year round and have tasted the coldness of human feelings. How can't you see the thoughts of this spring? He saw that Yaner is strong and has the intention to get to know you. However, everyone has such thoughts. Since we are neighbors, let's have more contact, or we will be unsympathetic..."
Zhang Yan said with a wry smile, "Is it humane? Qi Jingchun's family is also a Xiuzhen family. For those who are self-respecting immortals, humaneness has no more benefits.
Zhang Yongtai smiled and said, "What about the interests? What is not linked by interests in this world? Even relatives, brothers, friends, classmates... There is no interest relationship between these people. Yaner, you have to understand that sometimes interests are more affordable than ordinary friendships, at least because they won't easily stab you in the back, as long as you have enough weights..."
Zhang Yan was stunned, but he didn't expect his second uncle to say such a big truth, but he felt that what his second uncle said was very right.
"Go, go, go, you can't give your business transfer ** to Yaner. If he becomes the same as you, how can he become a fairy!"
After a pause, Liu Yunzhi stretched out her mouth and bit off the thread on the insole, handed a pair of finished insoles to Zhang Yan, and said, "You put it in your shoes, be warmer."
Zhang Yan scratched his head, didn't answer, and smiled, "Since your aunt said I'm a fairy, you've seen a cotton insole in any fairy's shoes."
Liu Yunzhi stared and scolded, "Let you hold it. The fairy's feet are also feet. In this snowy day, you also have to take good care of it."
Liu Yunzhi knew that these effects on Zhang Yan were minimal, but in her concept, she unconsciously regarded Zhang Yan as an orphan who needed to love and care for her without a mother. This only nephew was raised by her, which is no different from her own child. Knowing that Zhang Yan had embarked on the road of cultivating immortals, she was overjoyed, and a sense of loss hovered in her heart. The taste was really complicated and difficult to solve. She was always afraid that one day she would wake up and disappear.
Zhang Yan was also in a complicated mood. He took it with his hands and carefully put them in his arms. After a while, he smiled softly and said firmly, "Don't worry, aunt. I will protect myself well, not only myself, but also to protect you and your second uncle from being bullied."
Liu Yunzhi was stunned, and her eyes turned red in an instant. She held back her tears. After a long time, she spit and scolded with a smile, "You stinky boy, you also learned badly from Han Bin, and your mouth is a coaxing thing."
Zhang Yongtai listened to Zhang Yan's words cautiously and was also excited when he thought of the sad days of Qian Yuzong. At this time, he saw Liu Yunzhi scolding Zhang Yan and also said, "Yes, in the past, Yaner was like a piece of wood, but it's not like now. It's very sensational."
He turned his head and looked at Zhang Yan. Zhang Yongtai smiled and said, "Typ, how many girls have you cheated?"
Zhang Yan was embarrassed and quickly stood up and walked outside the house. "I'll rest first. I'm a little tired when I go out today..."
"Haha, you stinky boy, I said you have become bad, and now you can use the reason to push your second uncle..." Zhang Yongtai looked at Zhang Yan out of the door awkwardly with a smile.
As if he remembered something, Zhang Yongtai quickly ran to the door and shouted out, "Yan'er, come to see your second uncle tomorrow, and I'm going to discuss with you again."
"Oh. I know." Zhang Yan's voice came from the dark wind and snow.
This night, the snow was heavier.
