The villains seem to be intimidated by me
Chapter 51
001.
The two also noticed their impoliteness, and hurriedly moved forward to ask more questions, but regarding this matter, no matter how the two asked in turn, Bai Moru didn't say a word anymore.
Seeing that Bai Moru was determined not to say any more, the two of them shut up and didn't mention it anymore.
It's just that this matter is not mentioned, but another thing has to be mentioned.
Ding Qi looked at the focused Bai Moru in front of him, and his eyes were a little moved, "Sure enough, you are a formidable young man. I originally thought that you were Master Wang's disciple, which is why you beat me in the competition, but I didn't expect it to be so."
Wang Du felt sore in his heart when he heard the words, and couldn't help but said: "I want to accept him as a disciple..."
Shock flashed across Ding Qi's eyes, but after turning his head and seeing Bai Moru's focused expression, he felt a little more clear.
Bai Moru has such a skill at such a young age, he is probably also an arrogant person.
Ding Qi was amazed at Bai Moru's craftsmanship, but he didn't know that his guess was wrong. Bai Moru saw this, and couldn't help pointing out: "Actually, you don't need to care about that competition. It's not fair."
Ding Qi frowned when he heard the words, with obvious anger and displeasure on his old face, "If you lose, you lose. Why, don't you think I'm someone who can't afford to lose?"
He chased Bai Moru before, it was because he didn't feel that he had lost, but now he was convinced of the defeat, so naturally he would not trouble Bai Moru again.
"That's not what I mean. We are not in the same way. How can it be fair for me to fight your weaknesses with my strengths?" Bai Moru said softly. When he spoke, he always had a gentle smile on his face.
Dim sum is attached to the cuisine until it forms its own system, but Ding Qi is a cook after all. Although most cooks can cook one or two dim sum dishes, they are not in the same way as him.
It's like asking him to cook. Although he knows everything in the kitchen very well, but if you really ask him to cook, it's as good as his mother Liu Ru frying two vegetables.
"If I were to compete with you in cooking, I believe I will lose." Bai Moru said.
After hearing Bai Moru's words, Ding Qi thought for a while that Bai Moru seemed to focus on snacks all the time. Although he was still a little puzzled, he accepted Bai Moru's words in his heart.
Looking at Bai Moru who was smiling lightly and focused, Ding Qi changed his mind. This Bai Moru is a proud and arrogant person, but he is a junior who can't be hated.
Speaking of which, the previous estrangement between everyone is also less, and the atmosphere is much more relaxed when getting along.
Wang Du vaguely guessed what happened between the two of them and guessed the identity of Ding Qi. When he looked at Ding Shi, there was a little more disgust in those shining eyes.
Those who have nothing to find fault with, especially those who have nothing to find fault with Bai Moru, are not welcome to see him!
Ding Qi also knew that he was hated by Wang Du, but when he saw the rumored Wang Du, he didn't want to miss it like this. Even if he couldn't watch him cook a table, he still wanted to talk to him more. Two sentences.
"Master Wang, I heard you talking about the banquet just now. I wonder if you are still short of wine? I have some old wine in my collection." Ding Qi said respectfully.
Ding Qi is a cook, he is better at cooking side dishes than wine, but here a Wang Duan and a Bai Moru, his skills are a little bit out of hand, fortunately, he didn't make a fool of himself.
Fortunately, he had some wine in his house, so he was able to talk to Wang Du at this time.
"Old wine?" Wang Du narrowed his eyes slightly.
"It's old wine. It has been hidden for nearly a hundred years. I got it by accident before, and I have never been willing to touch it." Ding Qi said quickly.
Wine is inseparable from food. Although Wang Du is not as good at wine as Li Jiu over the years, he has been in contact with it after all.
Ding Qi is also a cook, if he can cherish it, no matter what, it won't be too bad.
Besides, that kid Li Jiu has always been stingy, and every time he gets it for a long time, he is reluctant to share it all with everyone.This time he said that he got good wine, but he didn't know how much he would give them to drink.
In the past, when the eight of them got together, Li Jiu's order of wine was not enough, and every time they hadn't drunk enough, the flagon was empty, and now Bai Moru was added, no, I'm afraid Shan Yu was added become.
There are ten people in total, so the wine is probably even less...
"Okay! If you want to come, you can come to this store later and come with this guy." Wang Du raised his finger and pointed to Bai Moru.
The latter's cheeks were flushed with excitement, and he quickly bowed to both Wang Du and Bai Moru, and then left in a hurry.
Ding Qi left, and Wang Du didn't stay in the store for long, bothering Bai Moru about his business, and left after muttering about some side dishes.
Na Ding Qi originally lived in a town some distance away from them. After getting Wang Du's consent, Dang even rented a boat and a carriage to return home. He hurried to hold his old wine before dark He rushed back to Bai Moru's store.
When he arrived, Bai Moru's shop happened to be closed.
Several people collected their things, chatted and laughed inside the half-closed store door, and prepared to go home.
Bai Moru told everyone that Wang Du and others would come to drink in the courtyard at night, Shan Yucheng naturally wouldn't miss it, and immediately asked Bai Moru to take him with him.
When Ding Qi knocked on the door of the store, everyone took him back to the courtyard, and made some food to eat. The door was knocked on the moonlight.
After entering the door, a group of people found a place to sit down without waiting for Bai Moru to say hello.
Wang Du didn't know where he got a food box. After everyone sat down around the stone table, he put the things on the table consciously, then opened the lid and took out some cold dishes from it.
Then Li Jiu was much more stingy, holding the small wine jar he brought, looking at it again and again, and then put it on the table with a distressed face, and finally couldn't help touching it.
He looked distressed, as if everyone had cut a piece of flesh from him.
Li Jiu has a calm personality, which can't be seen on weekdays, but when it comes to things he likes, it's different.
Wang Du often couldn't help choking him at this time, and couldn't bear to say a few more stingy words to him, "When I eat the food I made on weekdays, why haven't I seen you feel so distressed!"
Hearing this, Li Jiu couldn't help but said immediately: "Is this comparable? You can cook anytime as long as you have ingredients, but my wine is one jar less after drinking it. If you want to drink it again, at least It will have to wait until a hundred years later.”
Li Jiu's words made sense at first glance. After all, many old wines are hard to come by. If you really drink it, you will drink less.
But his words are not worthy of deep thought, especially in the face of this group of people who are familiar with him.
As soon as Li Jiu said this, Lao Xu, who was busy before Wang Du had time to speak, couldn't help it anymore, "You said it as if your wine was precious, didn't you drink the tea I invited you to drink for a while?" Is there just one less pot?"
Old Xu is obsessed with tea, and it is hard to get a lot of tea that he brings with him on weekdays, just like the new Longjing before the rain every year, there is only a little bit of it, and he is not willing to give it all like a cow's drink people drank.
"Come on, it's as if you are so generous every time you invite us to drink tea." Li Jiu hugged the wine jar back to his arms with distress, "Every time you drink your tea, you only pour half a cup , Are you ashamed to say that?"
Old Xu blushed, and felt guilty.
Under the cool moonlight, in the small courtyard, at the foot of the hundred-year-old banyan tree, and in front of the simple stone table, everyone gathers together, without the restraint they had when they were in front of outsiders, they are all sitting and leaning in the most comfortable posture at this moment, Very uncomfortable.
Ding Qi sat quietly by the side, his old face swollen to the color of a pig's liver under the moonlight.
Ding Qi joined Wang Du's line of work as a chef. Although he was not very proficient in wine and tea, he knew these two people well.
After recognizing these two people and knowing Wang Du's identity, it is not difficult to guess the identities of the other people who came with Wang Du.
This group of people who are rarely seen on weekdays are all gathered in this small farmyard, arguing and teasing each other, how can he not be excited.
But at the moment, no one paid attention to him, because everyone's attention was on the little wine jar that Lao Xu was holding in his arms.
"What kind of wine is yours? You should be able to tell now, right?" Old Wu's gaze stayed on the wine jar in Li Jiu's arms, and he pursed his mouth as if thinking of something, looking impatient.
"That's right, can we talk about it now? Before we asked you, you kept it a secret from us, but now that everyone is here, you can't just say nothing!" Another person who was with them called Liu Hong's man said.
Liu Hong was the youngest of this group of people. His family was engaged in a salt merchant business. Judging from Wang's reading of their words, his family seemed to be quite wealthy and had 'colluded' with officials and businessmen.
The word "collusion" was what Wang Du and the others said when they hated him, but the people didn't say anything about it, and Bai Moru didn't ask.
"You kid, what do you know? I didn't say it before because I was afraid of scaring you." Li Jiu suffered from Wang Du and Lao Xu's side, so he turned around and wanted to get it back from Liu Hong.
Liu Hong chuckled, he was not afraid of Li Jiu at all, he had been with Wang Du and his group for a long time, his face was already thick and thick, "I think you are just stingy."
"I'm being stingy, can I still get the wine for you to drink?" Li Jiu couldn't help but searched the wine jar in his arms, looking stingy as if he didn't want to take it out.
"You're really ashamed to say, I think you secretly took some of it and kept it for hiding!" Old Xu said coolly.
"Really!" Old Wu suddenly got up and looked in front of Li Jiu, then pointed at Li Jiu and cursed: "Stingy."
Seeing this, everyone leaned over to watch it. After seeing the small wine can in Li Jiu's arms, they immediately united the front, pointed at Li Jiu and began to curse unceremoniously.
Even though Li Jiu was already a fine person and thick-skinned enough, he was still blushing from being scolded by these old friends.
Ding Qi was amazed, but he didn't open his mouth to participate, he was content to enter this small courtyard under Bai Moru's light, and he had already seen that there was no room for him to intervene among these people.
Sitting on the side under the moonlight, leaning on Shan Yucheng's chest and watching the group of people fighting, Bai Moru looked towards Li Jiu's arms. As expected, the small wine jar he was holding in his arms under the moonlight was a new one.
Perhaps after Li Jiu got the good wine, he only took out some of it and brought it to them to drink, and hid the rest.
Li Jiu was defeated by everyone, and soon lost his temper after being scolded, but even so, he was still stubbornly unwilling to take out the remaining part of the wine.
Everyone also knew what kind of temper he had, and the cursing was just a joke. After taking this opportunity to bully people severely, he quickly took out the cup and put it on the table, and then watched helplessly while holding the jar. Li Jiu let go.
This cup was not prepared by Bai Moru, but by them themselves. The cup was milky white and translucent, and each of the eight people held one cup.
Bai Moru and the others didn't have any, because the cup seemed to be a set, and Bai Moru couldn't help but take a second look when he saw it for the first time.
Shan Yucheng, however, recognized it with a quick glance. He put his arms around Bai Moru who was leaning on his chest, with a faint smile on his lips, and said softly: "It's just some warm jade wine glasses, if you like it, How about I get someone to make a set?"
"Is this thing very precious?" Bai Moru looked up at Shan Yucheng.
"No." Shanyu said.
"Oh, that's good." Bai Moru nodded, these people each held a cup, which made him feel a little itchy.
That warm jade is a special kind of jade, and when held in the hand, there will be a little bit of warmth. Even in the cold winter and snowy days, as long as you hold a piece in your hand, it will still be warm.
In addition to being warm, this warm jade has another feature that can make sake more clear and mellow. It is a rare high-grade wine utensil.
After Shanyu finished speaking, his mind turned to other places. He slightly lowered his head and looked at Bai Moru who was leaning on him comfortably, and the amber eyes that were more transparent under the moonlight revealed some Loving and pampering.
It will be winter in a few days, and the person in front of him seems to be a little chilly because of his weak body, maybe he should get some to warm Bai Moru's hands?
In case he has to go into the kitchen to soak in cold water in the winter, his hands and feet will be cold.
Shan Yucheng spoke softly, but when he heard Huang Tu and the others choke on his mouthful of saliva, everyone looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.
Their cup, even with their family background, took a lot of effort to get it, and it was barely enough for everyone to have one, but this Shan Yucheng was thinking about making a set to give away...
002.
But think about it, let alone make a set with the financial resources of the good family, even if they want to use this thing as a warm bag to warm their hands, it is probably not impossible.
It's just that everyone thought so in their hearts, but they didn't know that Shan Yucheng really wanted to use this thing as a stove, otherwise he might feel distressed again.
"Okay, tell us what kind of wine this is!" Wang Du put the glass in front of Li Jiu, obviously wanting Li Jiu to pour the wine.
"What's the rush, what I got this time is a good thing!" Li Jiu was finally willing to take it out of his arms when he mentioned the wine. He shook the sealed wine jar in front of everyone, and then Then he said mysteriously: "I'll give you three chances to guess."
But everyone has already been addicted to alcohol by him, who cares about his trickery.
Wang Du, Lao Xu and the two stepped forward and snatched the wine jar in his wine, then Lao Wu rushed forward to stop Li Jiu, and the other two ran to the side and skillfully opened the lid of the wine jar.
The next moment, a scent of wine permeated the yard.
The scent of this wine is different from the scent of wine in the taverns in the streets and alleys, this scent is more mellow, just like the clear moonlight, just smelling the scent makes one a little drunk.
Bai Moru, who was leaning on Shan Yucheng's chest, smelled the fragrance, couldn't help but half-closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "It smells so good."
Li Jiu was still yelling to be careful not to fall under Old Wu's obstruction. In the courtyard, the faces of the others all showed intoxicated expressions at this moment.
"Is this Qiu Lubai?" Wang Du is indeed the person who knows how to eat best, and his eyes lit up immediately when he smelled the fragrance.
After listening to Wang Du's words, Bai Moru couldn't help but sit up. He had heard the word Qiu Lubai before.
It is said that this wine is brewed from dew. To make good wine, it is necessary to use a woman's hand to find the lush green grass and collect the dew on the grass leaves.
If you want to brew a good wine that is once in a hundred years, the requirements are even more stringent, and you even have to pay attention to when to get the dew from which grass leaves.
However, the aroma of this wine is the most fragrant, so many wine drinkers like to collect it, but there are very few really good wines.
Bai Moru is generally not addicted to wine and tea, but he knows something.
"You're the only one who knows the goods!" Li Jiu had calmed down at this moment, and stopped dragging Old Wu desperately.
He straightened his clothes and sat down, his face was full of satisfaction, "How about it, isn't it good? What I got this time is a good wine. Its aroma is clear and mellow, and there is a faint sound of bamboo .”
After Li Jiu said so, Bai Moru sniffed the fragrance in the air again, and it really had a faint bamboo fragrance as Li Jiu said.
"You know, it's not just as simple as seeing Qiulubai with such a fragrance in a hundred years..." Li Jiu complacently started a long speech, but he couldn't help but stop with twitching veins just after he started. , "You pour less, pour less!"
Because at the moment he was talking, Wang Du and Lao Xu couldn't help pouring a full glass for themselves, which made Li Jiu slap his thigh in distress.
The rest of the people ignored him at all, and took their wine glasses and lined up next to them. Seeing this, Bai Moru quickly took the glass that Liu Ru had prepared for him and followed behind the crowd.
The only person in the yard who did not move was Shan Yucheng, who propped his chin with one hand, staring at Bai Moru who was queuing up in the crowd.
He was amazed and Bai Moru had such a shallow smile on his face at the moment, it seemed to contain some anticipation, but also seemed to be a little excited and nervous.Bai Moru had never shown such a smile before, Shan Yucheng couldn't help but feel palpitations, and wanted to leave his smile that was different from usual.
"Okay, okay, you guys pour less, leave some for me..." Li Jiu stood aside and stared at Wang Du who was in charge of pouring the wine, and he couldn't help muttering every time the bottom of the glass was dipped in wine.
How could Wang Du and the others not know the preciousness of this wine, so naturally they would be careful every time they arrived, for fear of spilling a drop.
After a round of wine was poured, the glasses of several people were only half full. They only thought that there could be a few more rounds, so that one person could drink an extra glass.
After Bai Moru got the wine, he happily held the cup and sat back in front of Shan Yucheng, and then naturally leaned into Shan Yucheng's arms.
Shan Yucheng's body was always hot, and Bai Moru leaning on him was like lying on a stove, his hands and feet were warm.
When Shan Yucheng saw Bai Moru approaching again, he was naturally overjoyed.
Under the moonlight, Shan Yucheng, who was dressed in white Shengxue with a bit of fairy air, opened his coat, and quickly adjusted his seat so that Bai Moru could lean comfortably.
Seeing Bai Moru holding the wine glass with both hands, sniffing and sniffing, and then took a small sip cherished, Shan Yucheng couldn't help swallowing, but his eyes didn't stay on Bai Moru's glass. In the middle, it was Bai Moru's lips that were stained with wine.
"It's really good wine, mellow and rich, elegant and delicate." Bai Moru couldn't help admiring, he was as lazy as a cat curled up in Shan Yucheng's arms.
"Hey, you're a smart kid, so I brought it here specially." Although Li Jiu felt sorry for the wine, he was also happiest to hear his friends praise his wine.
Even if it is good wine, it is most enjoyable to drink with friends.
"It's fragrant!" Wang Du couldn't help admiring again.
Not only Wang Du, but the rest of them were also full of praise.
But after taking this sip, everyone was no longer in a hurry to drink. Instead, they smacked their lips and aftertaste, they all gathered around the table, looked for chopsticks and tasted the appetizers that had already been placed on the table.
Li Jiu was very stingy, the wine they brought was not enough for a dozen of them to drink for a few rounds, how could they not save some?
"Young Master Shan, don't you want to try it?" Li Jiu looked at Shan Yucheng, who had been leaning on Bai Moru from the very beginning and didn't go to the table to get the wine.
What he said was not a kind reminder to Shan Yucheng, but a jealousy of the half glass of wine left on the table.
If Shan Yucheng doesn't drink, he can do it for him!
"If you don't drink, I—" Wang Du didn't care about the courtesy, and stretched out his hand to snatch it.
But there was one hand that moved faster than him, Shan Yucheng only leaned forward a little, and filled the wine glass with his slender fingers.
He is not unusual for this wine. After all, he is in Shan's family. Even if he doesn't particularly like wine, he has seen some good wine. But even if he is not unusual, he doesn't drink it. drank.
If you want to give it, you have to give it to Bai Moru.
"You like it?" Shan Yucheng rolled his eyes and landed on Bai Moru's face.
"You don't want to drink?" Bai Moru's eyes showed a bit of greed, this wine is indeed good wine, he likes it very much.
"Then mine is for you to drink." Shan Yucheng protected the cup in his hands under the scorching gaze of the crowd, resolutely not to be snatched away by those people.
Bai Moru was naturally happy, how could he be unhappy after drinking the wine for two by himself.
Leaning in Shan Yucheng's arms, Bai Moru couldn't help casting complacent glances at the crowd after eating some side dishes, and then looked at the crowd with satisfaction and stared back even more angrily.
Under the faint moonlight, after some commotion, everyone started talking.
Wang Du and the others came this time not just to find Bai Moru for a drink, but also to talk to Bai Moru about something.
A few of them have decided to leave here.The end of the new year is approaching, although there are still a few months to go, but there are many things in their family that need to be dealt with, so they have to leave these days, and it will be a year later when they come back.
Everyone's itinerary has been set, and the fastest time is only these two days, and the slowest time is before the end of the month.
"I've been keeping an eye on the things in the capital for you. There should be hope. You are ready to go to Beijing when you receive a letter." Wang Du warned that this is a rare opportunity. It seemed a little boring to him, but to Bai Moru, it was an opportunity to broaden his horizons.
"I see." Bai Moru agreed.
"After arriving in the capital, you can go to me or Lao Xu and the others." Wang Du said again, "When you arrive at the place, you can find someone by just asking. I will let the people below pay attention to your name. You just need to report your name." find me by name."
After Wang read these words, several other people also nodded one after another. Obviously, everyone has passed this matter.
Bai Moru nodded again, but Wang Du said again: "I asked your mother before, it seems that you have never traveled far, so be careful on the road, the bumpy road is no worse than in the town."
Wang Du is much older than Bai Moru, and he has also made friends with Bai Moru sincerely. Now when he talks about this matter, he can't help but talk too much.
The rest of the people didn't laugh at Wang Du's mother-in-law at the moment, and only gave a few more words after Wang Du, all talking about how to find them.
"Don't worry, I will go with him, and I will arrange everything on the way." Shan Yucheng's cold voice sounded after the crowd. He had already discussed this matter with Bai Moru.
Bai Moru just smiled at this, he has indeed never traveled far, and this place is no different from the place he lived before, so it is always a good thing to be cautious.
"Then remember to come to us when you arrive in the capital," Li Jiu said.
"Can the invitation you mentioned earlier be delivered to Shan's family?" Shan Yucheng turned to look at Wang Du.
003.
"Good family?" Wang Du didn't understand. Naturally, it is best to send the invitation in the hands of the person concerned.
"I want to take him to my house first, and it happens that my house is not far from the capital, so I can rest for a while before going there." Shan Yucheng said.
"To your house?" Bai Moru slightly raised his wine-red face and looked at Shan Yucheng, who had never told him about it.
"I haven't had time to tell you yet." Shan Yucheng understood the doubt in Bai Moru's eyes, he frowned, as if recalling some bad memories, "My mother is ill, my father asked me to go back soon , I thought that you were about to leave for the capital, and I thought that you would go back to Shan's house with me, so that I could have someone to take care of me on the way."
Mentioning Mrs. Na Shan, Bai Moru looked back clearly, "Okay, when are you leaving? I'll make some arrangements first, so that Zhong Qing can help."
Zhongqing has been learning from him for more than a month, and now he has basically learned the 20 kinds of dim sum in the store. After a few days of careful training/teaching, he should be able to withstand him after he leaves.
Bai Moru's straightforwardness made Shan Yucheng's heart beat a beat slower. He lowered his head and stared at the lazy and elegant Bai Moru in front of him, his eyes half closed, and he just wanted to firmly remember his appearance at this moment and the size of the corners of his mouth. His every expression.
"I can do it, it depends on when it's convenient for you." Shan Yucheng's cold voice concealed a bit of imperceptible hoarseness and trembling.
"That's a problem." Bai Moru sipped his wine and pondered.
"The meeting is probably scheduled for mid-October." Wang Du said, this news has not been released to the public, so only he knows.
Although the gatherings every year are during the Chinese New Year period, they are not very close to the end of the year. After all, those who can participate in this kind of gathering are some people, and most of these people have a lot of entertainment at the end of the year.
If it is crowded at the end of the year, there will be very few people who can go.
"Middle of October?" Bai Moju slightly had a headache. His brother was going to get married a year ago, and the time was set in the twelfth lunar month. He would definitely come back.
"Then it should be in time. My brother's wedding day is in November, so I can come back sooner." Shan Yucheng knew what Bai Moru was thinking, "Just work harder, auntie."
Bai Moru nodded, but he also knew that Shan Yucheng's last words were just to comfort him.
Even if he stayed in this town, according to Liu Ru and Bai Xueming's personalities, he would not be asked to help, so as not to tire him again.
"In that case, let's see you in the capital." Wang Du drank the last half of his wine and raised his glass at Bai Moru.
This night was the last night Bai Moru saw these people.Since the early morning of the second day, his shop has become a bit quieter than before, and the specially reserved private room facing the street has also been moved out and opened to the public.
After knowing the approximate time, Bai Moru stepped up teaching Zhong Qing, and let Zhong Qing do the dim sum in the shop as much as possible, and he watched from the side.
The business in the store was as full as ever, and instead of weakening with the passage of time, the enthusiasm became stronger and stronger.
The line of people that originally only lined up in the middle of the street has already reached the end of the street.
After Wang Du and others left, the matter of Bai Moru's going to the capital somehow leaked out, letting the proprietress of the cloth shop across the street know.
After the proprietress found out about the incident, she ran to the store, and she said reluctantly while pulling Bai Moru.
"It will take more than two months for you to go." The proprietress's slightly affluent face was full of reluctance, "How about I go with you? It just so happens that I have never been to this capital."
"I appreciate the kindness." Bai Moru refused.
After getting along for a long time, Bai Moru knew that this person was joking. If he really agreed, this person would feel sorry for her family again, and then he would not be willing to leave the town.
"Then when are you going to set off, so that I can practice it for you?" The proprietress smiled sweetly.
"In more than ten days." Bai Moru still had that gentle smile on his face.
"So fast!" the proprietress said.
"It's better to go early and return early. There will be my brother's marriage later in the twelfth lunar month, so I can come back earlier to help." Bai Moru mentioned Bai's scientific name, and his eyes couldn't help but feel a little more warm.
"Speaking of which, there is such a thing, I almost forgot." The proprietress has a good relationship with Liu Ru, "Don't worry, I will help my sister."
"Then I will trouble you." Bai Moru heaved a sigh of relief.
With the help of this person, Liu Ru will be more relaxed after all.
Although Liu Ru has a good heart and is gentle and easy to get along with, she still lacks opinions.
The proprietress appears to be a fool, but she is actually a person with her own opinions, she can make up her mind on big and small matters.With her watching, people outside would never be able to bully Liu Ru.
"What's our relationship..." The proprietress laughed ambiguously.
Bai Moru smiled frankly and didn't answer any more.
The proprietress chatted with Bai Moru for a while before returning home.
But that night, this person knocked on the door of his courtyard again, and Bai Moru, who opened the door in fright and was blocked by her, thought she was really bold enough to sneak attack at night.
Fortunately, this person only laughed and said a few words, then didn't continue talking, but took out a small note from his pocket and stuffed it into Bai Moru's pocket.
"I told my guy after you got home, and then he wrote me this address and asked me to give it to you." The proprietress stood at the gate of the courtyard, but she had no intention of entering the courtyard.
Bai Moru took the note and opened it to look at it. There was only a street name and a residence written in black and white on it.
"When my family was in the capital, they found a civil job here, and they worked for seven or eight years. There are also a few people they know in this mansion. If you encounter something, you can try to find them. "The proprietress looked Bai Moru up and down, and she couldn't help showing a little worry in her eyes, "The capital city is not as comfortable as our small town, so you have to be careful."
As far as she knew, Bai Moru had left this small town only a few times, not to mention going to a nearby big town, and she was always a little uneasy that he was going to go so far all of a sudden.
The people outside are no more talkative than the people in their town. If Bai Moru accidentally offends someone, where will they go to find someone when they are beyond their reach?
"Thank him for me." After reading it, Bai Moru put away the note and did not reject it. He accepted the kindness, "Also, don't tell my mother what you said. Don't even mention it." When he said this, Bai Moru showed a bit of seriousness on his face.
"I know." The proprietress laughed.
Who in this town and street doesn't know that Liu Ru loves his son?
Ever since she knew that Bai Moru was going to the capital, Liu Ru had been extremely nervous during this time. She had thought over and over again what luggage to bring to Bai Moru alone, for fear of missing something so that Bai Moru would be there. Useless on the road.
Not only this, but Liu Ru went to the medical clinic to grab three sets of the medicine for wind and cold alone, saying that he wanted Bai Moru to prepare it on the road just in case, not to mention there were other types of medicine.As for this number, it was obtained after Bai Moru bargained with her.
If Liu Ru heard what they said, he would never leave this town for the rest of his life.
After the proprietress delivered the note, a few days later, she invited everyone to a nearby restaurant for dinner, saying that she wanted to practice it for Bai Moru.
This line was practiced, but it made Liu Ru's eyes red.
Bai Moru had been in poor health since he was born, and almost died several times over the years, Liu Rushi took him very seriously.But she didn't want Bai Moru to be imprisoned in this small town the size of a sesame seed for the rest of her life, and she didn't want to open her mouth to force Bai Moru to stay. She had a difficult choice between the two, so she turned red-eyed after drinking some wine.
After returning to the courtyard that night, Bai Moru coaxed him for a long time before Liu Ru fell asleep with red eyes.
But no matter how hard it is to let go, the time of departure is still getting closer day by day.
When the first ray of dawn in the sky quietly shone on the roof of the small courtyard, Bai Moru picked out some of the luggage that Liu Ru had prepared for him, and followed Shan Yucheng into the carriage.
It was the end of autumn and the beginning of winter. After an autumn rain a few days ago, the weather suddenly turned cold, and now everyone had to put on a layer of thin cotton clothes.
At the gate of the small courtyard, Liu Ruhong took out a few packs of bundled medicines from the house and stuffed them into the carriage, "You take all the medicines, and I will prepare all the medicines you often take. Although your health is better now than before It’s a lot, but it’s always better to be prepared.”
She was afraid that if Bai Moru fell ill on the road, but he was unfamiliar with the place and had nowhere to get medicine, it would be delayed.
"Okay, I'll bring it." Bai Moru also knew that it's not appropriate to be serious with Liu Ru at this moment, so since the morning, he has agreed to whatever Liu Ru said.
"Wear more clothes on the road, the carriage is no warmer than at home." Liu Ru helped Bai Moru tighten his cloak.
She was really reluctant, since Bai Moru was born until now, the longest time he had been separated from her was not more than half a day, and now he would have to leave for two or three months, how could she be willing.
She felt uncomfortable when Bai Xuemin left before, but Bai Xueming only went there for [-] days, and he has returned a few days ago.
Now one came back, but another left...
"Don't worry, Auntie, I have a heater on the carriage." Shan Yucheng looked serious, and he had already arranged a residence along the road, as long as he arrived at the place, he would have hot water to go to the room, but the journey was a bit hard.
After listening to Bai Moru's words, Liu Ru couldn't help but feel more hesitant and worried. She looked up at Shan Yucheng, and after struggling for a while, she finally said to Bai Moru, "When you arrive at Shan's house, don't talk to me. When the old man gets into a dispute, even if there is a dispute, you should say less annoying words and more sweet words, you are smart, you should know that there are some things that the old man is afraid of..."
Listening to Liu Ru's words, Bai Moru and Yu Shanyucheng were puzzled at first, but after a while they understood, Shan Yucheng blushed and Bai Moru showed a bit of embarrassment.
"mother……"
His trip was to attend a rally in the capital, not to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law...
The author has something to say: I have become a fairy...
Thank you Suhe Ximei for the three mines, refill~
Thank you Cat sister paper for mine, hug~
The two also noticed their impoliteness, and hurriedly moved forward to ask more questions, but regarding this matter, no matter how the two asked in turn, Bai Moru didn't say a word anymore.
Seeing that Bai Moru was determined not to say any more, the two of them shut up and didn't mention it anymore.
It's just that this matter is not mentioned, but another thing has to be mentioned.
Ding Qi looked at the focused Bai Moru in front of him, and his eyes were a little moved, "Sure enough, you are a formidable young man. I originally thought that you were Master Wang's disciple, which is why you beat me in the competition, but I didn't expect it to be so."
Wang Du felt sore in his heart when he heard the words, and couldn't help but said: "I want to accept him as a disciple..."
Shock flashed across Ding Qi's eyes, but after turning his head and seeing Bai Moru's focused expression, he felt a little more clear.
Bai Moru has such a skill at such a young age, he is probably also an arrogant person.
Ding Qi was amazed at Bai Moru's craftsmanship, but he didn't know that his guess was wrong. Bai Moru saw this, and couldn't help pointing out: "Actually, you don't need to care about that competition. It's not fair."
Ding Qi frowned when he heard the words, with obvious anger and displeasure on his old face, "If you lose, you lose. Why, don't you think I'm someone who can't afford to lose?"
He chased Bai Moru before, it was because he didn't feel that he had lost, but now he was convinced of the defeat, so naturally he would not trouble Bai Moru again.
"That's not what I mean. We are not in the same way. How can it be fair for me to fight your weaknesses with my strengths?" Bai Moru said softly. When he spoke, he always had a gentle smile on his face.
Dim sum is attached to the cuisine until it forms its own system, but Ding Qi is a cook after all. Although most cooks can cook one or two dim sum dishes, they are not in the same way as him.
It's like asking him to cook. Although he knows everything in the kitchen very well, but if you really ask him to cook, it's as good as his mother Liu Ru frying two vegetables.
"If I were to compete with you in cooking, I believe I will lose." Bai Moru said.
After hearing Bai Moru's words, Ding Qi thought for a while that Bai Moru seemed to focus on snacks all the time. Although he was still a little puzzled, he accepted Bai Moru's words in his heart.
Looking at Bai Moru who was smiling lightly and focused, Ding Qi changed his mind. This Bai Moru is a proud and arrogant person, but he is a junior who can't be hated.
Speaking of which, the previous estrangement between everyone is also less, and the atmosphere is much more relaxed when getting along.
Wang Du vaguely guessed what happened between the two of them and guessed the identity of Ding Qi. When he looked at Ding Shi, there was a little more disgust in those shining eyes.
Those who have nothing to find fault with, especially those who have nothing to find fault with Bai Moru, are not welcome to see him!
Ding Qi also knew that he was hated by Wang Du, but when he saw the rumored Wang Du, he didn't want to miss it like this. Even if he couldn't watch him cook a table, he still wanted to talk to him more. Two sentences.
"Master Wang, I heard you talking about the banquet just now. I wonder if you are still short of wine? I have some old wine in my collection." Ding Qi said respectfully.
Ding Qi is a cook, he is better at cooking side dishes than wine, but here a Wang Duan and a Bai Moru, his skills are a little bit out of hand, fortunately, he didn't make a fool of himself.
Fortunately, he had some wine in his house, so he was able to talk to Wang Du at this time.
"Old wine?" Wang Du narrowed his eyes slightly.
"It's old wine. It has been hidden for nearly a hundred years. I got it by accident before, and I have never been willing to touch it." Ding Qi said quickly.
Wine is inseparable from food. Although Wang Du is not as good at wine as Li Jiu over the years, he has been in contact with it after all.
Ding Qi is also a cook, if he can cherish it, no matter what, it won't be too bad.
Besides, that kid Li Jiu has always been stingy, and every time he gets it for a long time, he is reluctant to share it all with everyone.This time he said that he got good wine, but he didn't know how much he would give them to drink.
In the past, when the eight of them got together, Li Jiu's order of wine was not enough, and every time they hadn't drunk enough, the flagon was empty, and now Bai Moru was added, no, I'm afraid Shan Yu was added become.
There are ten people in total, so the wine is probably even less...
"Okay! If you want to come, you can come to this store later and come with this guy." Wang Du raised his finger and pointed to Bai Moru.
The latter's cheeks were flushed with excitement, and he quickly bowed to both Wang Du and Bai Moru, and then left in a hurry.
Ding Qi left, and Wang Du didn't stay in the store for long, bothering Bai Moru about his business, and left after muttering about some side dishes.
Na Ding Qi originally lived in a town some distance away from them. After getting Wang Du's consent, Dang even rented a boat and a carriage to return home. He hurried to hold his old wine before dark He rushed back to Bai Moru's store.
When he arrived, Bai Moru's shop happened to be closed.
Several people collected their things, chatted and laughed inside the half-closed store door, and prepared to go home.
Bai Moru told everyone that Wang Du and others would come to drink in the courtyard at night, Shan Yucheng naturally wouldn't miss it, and immediately asked Bai Moru to take him with him.
When Ding Qi knocked on the door of the store, everyone took him back to the courtyard, and made some food to eat. The door was knocked on the moonlight.
After entering the door, a group of people found a place to sit down without waiting for Bai Moru to say hello.
Wang Du didn't know where he got a food box. After everyone sat down around the stone table, he put the things on the table consciously, then opened the lid and took out some cold dishes from it.
Then Li Jiu was much more stingy, holding the small wine jar he brought, looking at it again and again, and then put it on the table with a distressed face, and finally couldn't help touching it.
He looked distressed, as if everyone had cut a piece of flesh from him.
Li Jiu has a calm personality, which can't be seen on weekdays, but when it comes to things he likes, it's different.
Wang Du often couldn't help choking him at this time, and couldn't bear to say a few more stingy words to him, "When I eat the food I made on weekdays, why haven't I seen you feel so distressed!"
Hearing this, Li Jiu couldn't help but said immediately: "Is this comparable? You can cook anytime as long as you have ingredients, but my wine is one jar less after drinking it. If you want to drink it again, at least It will have to wait until a hundred years later.”
Li Jiu's words made sense at first glance. After all, many old wines are hard to come by. If you really drink it, you will drink less.
But his words are not worthy of deep thought, especially in the face of this group of people who are familiar with him.
As soon as Li Jiu said this, Lao Xu, who was busy before Wang Du had time to speak, couldn't help it anymore, "You said it as if your wine was precious, didn't you drink the tea I invited you to drink for a while?" Is there just one less pot?"
Old Xu is obsessed with tea, and it is hard to get a lot of tea that he brings with him on weekdays, just like the new Longjing before the rain every year, there is only a little bit of it, and he is not willing to give it all like a cow's drink people drank.
"Come on, it's as if you are so generous every time you invite us to drink tea." Li Jiu hugged the wine jar back to his arms with distress, "Every time you drink your tea, you only pour half a cup , Are you ashamed to say that?"
Old Xu blushed, and felt guilty.
Under the cool moonlight, in the small courtyard, at the foot of the hundred-year-old banyan tree, and in front of the simple stone table, everyone gathers together, without the restraint they had when they were in front of outsiders, they are all sitting and leaning in the most comfortable posture at this moment, Very uncomfortable.
Ding Qi sat quietly by the side, his old face swollen to the color of a pig's liver under the moonlight.
Ding Qi joined Wang Du's line of work as a chef. Although he was not very proficient in wine and tea, he knew these two people well.
After recognizing these two people and knowing Wang Du's identity, it is not difficult to guess the identities of the other people who came with Wang Du.
This group of people who are rarely seen on weekdays are all gathered in this small farmyard, arguing and teasing each other, how can he not be excited.
But at the moment, no one paid attention to him, because everyone's attention was on the little wine jar that Lao Xu was holding in his arms.
"What kind of wine is yours? You should be able to tell now, right?" Old Wu's gaze stayed on the wine jar in Li Jiu's arms, and he pursed his mouth as if thinking of something, looking impatient.
"That's right, can we talk about it now? Before we asked you, you kept it a secret from us, but now that everyone is here, you can't just say nothing!" Another person who was with them called Liu Hong's man said.
Liu Hong was the youngest of this group of people. His family was engaged in a salt merchant business. Judging from Wang's reading of their words, his family seemed to be quite wealthy and had 'colluded' with officials and businessmen.
The word "collusion" was what Wang Du and the others said when they hated him, but the people didn't say anything about it, and Bai Moru didn't ask.
"You kid, what do you know? I didn't say it before because I was afraid of scaring you." Li Jiu suffered from Wang Du and Lao Xu's side, so he turned around and wanted to get it back from Liu Hong.
Liu Hong chuckled, he was not afraid of Li Jiu at all, he had been with Wang Du and his group for a long time, his face was already thick and thick, "I think you are just stingy."
"I'm being stingy, can I still get the wine for you to drink?" Li Jiu couldn't help but searched the wine jar in his arms, looking stingy as if he didn't want to take it out.
"You're really ashamed to say, I think you secretly took some of it and kept it for hiding!" Old Xu said coolly.
"Really!" Old Wu suddenly got up and looked in front of Li Jiu, then pointed at Li Jiu and cursed: "Stingy."
Seeing this, everyone leaned over to watch it. After seeing the small wine can in Li Jiu's arms, they immediately united the front, pointed at Li Jiu and began to curse unceremoniously.
Even though Li Jiu was already a fine person and thick-skinned enough, he was still blushing from being scolded by these old friends.
Ding Qi was amazed, but he didn't open his mouth to participate, he was content to enter this small courtyard under Bai Moru's light, and he had already seen that there was no room for him to intervene among these people.
Sitting on the side under the moonlight, leaning on Shan Yucheng's chest and watching the group of people fighting, Bai Moru looked towards Li Jiu's arms. As expected, the small wine jar he was holding in his arms under the moonlight was a new one.
Perhaps after Li Jiu got the good wine, he only took out some of it and brought it to them to drink, and hid the rest.
Li Jiu was defeated by everyone, and soon lost his temper after being scolded, but even so, he was still stubbornly unwilling to take out the remaining part of the wine.
Everyone also knew what kind of temper he had, and the cursing was just a joke. After taking this opportunity to bully people severely, he quickly took out the cup and put it on the table, and then watched helplessly while holding the jar. Li Jiu let go.
This cup was not prepared by Bai Moru, but by them themselves. The cup was milky white and translucent, and each of the eight people held one cup.
Bai Moru and the others didn't have any, because the cup seemed to be a set, and Bai Moru couldn't help but take a second look when he saw it for the first time.
Shan Yucheng, however, recognized it with a quick glance. He put his arms around Bai Moru who was leaning on his chest, with a faint smile on his lips, and said softly: "It's just some warm jade wine glasses, if you like it, How about I get someone to make a set?"
"Is this thing very precious?" Bai Moru looked up at Shan Yucheng.
"No." Shanyu said.
"Oh, that's good." Bai Moru nodded, these people each held a cup, which made him feel a little itchy.
That warm jade is a special kind of jade, and when held in the hand, there will be a little bit of warmth. Even in the cold winter and snowy days, as long as you hold a piece in your hand, it will still be warm.
In addition to being warm, this warm jade has another feature that can make sake more clear and mellow. It is a rare high-grade wine utensil.
After Shanyu finished speaking, his mind turned to other places. He slightly lowered his head and looked at Bai Moru who was leaning on him comfortably, and the amber eyes that were more transparent under the moonlight revealed some Loving and pampering.
It will be winter in a few days, and the person in front of him seems to be a little chilly because of his weak body, maybe he should get some to warm Bai Moru's hands?
In case he has to go into the kitchen to soak in cold water in the winter, his hands and feet will be cold.
Shan Yucheng spoke softly, but when he heard Huang Tu and the others choke on his mouthful of saliva, everyone looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.
Their cup, even with their family background, took a lot of effort to get it, and it was barely enough for everyone to have one, but this Shan Yucheng was thinking about making a set to give away...
002.
But think about it, let alone make a set with the financial resources of the good family, even if they want to use this thing as a warm bag to warm their hands, it is probably not impossible.
It's just that everyone thought so in their hearts, but they didn't know that Shan Yucheng really wanted to use this thing as a stove, otherwise he might feel distressed again.
"Okay, tell us what kind of wine this is!" Wang Du put the glass in front of Li Jiu, obviously wanting Li Jiu to pour the wine.
"What's the rush, what I got this time is a good thing!" Li Jiu was finally willing to take it out of his arms when he mentioned the wine. He shook the sealed wine jar in front of everyone, and then Then he said mysteriously: "I'll give you three chances to guess."
But everyone has already been addicted to alcohol by him, who cares about his trickery.
Wang Du, Lao Xu and the two stepped forward and snatched the wine jar in his wine, then Lao Wu rushed forward to stop Li Jiu, and the other two ran to the side and skillfully opened the lid of the wine jar.
The next moment, a scent of wine permeated the yard.
The scent of this wine is different from the scent of wine in the taverns in the streets and alleys, this scent is more mellow, just like the clear moonlight, just smelling the scent makes one a little drunk.
Bai Moru, who was leaning on Shan Yucheng's chest, smelled the fragrance, couldn't help but half-closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "It smells so good."
Li Jiu was still yelling to be careful not to fall under Old Wu's obstruction. In the courtyard, the faces of the others all showed intoxicated expressions at this moment.
"Is this Qiu Lubai?" Wang Du is indeed the person who knows how to eat best, and his eyes lit up immediately when he smelled the fragrance.
After listening to Wang Du's words, Bai Moru couldn't help but sit up. He had heard the word Qiu Lubai before.
It is said that this wine is brewed from dew. To make good wine, it is necessary to use a woman's hand to find the lush green grass and collect the dew on the grass leaves.
If you want to brew a good wine that is once in a hundred years, the requirements are even more stringent, and you even have to pay attention to when to get the dew from which grass leaves.
However, the aroma of this wine is the most fragrant, so many wine drinkers like to collect it, but there are very few really good wines.
Bai Moru is generally not addicted to wine and tea, but he knows something.
"You're the only one who knows the goods!" Li Jiu had calmed down at this moment, and stopped dragging Old Wu desperately.
He straightened his clothes and sat down, his face was full of satisfaction, "How about it, isn't it good? What I got this time is a good wine. Its aroma is clear and mellow, and there is a faint sound of bamboo .”
After Li Jiu said so, Bai Moru sniffed the fragrance in the air again, and it really had a faint bamboo fragrance as Li Jiu said.
"You know, it's not just as simple as seeing Qiulubai with such a fragrance in a hundred years..." Li Jiu complacently started a long speech, but he couldn't help but stop with twitching veins just after he started. , "You pour less, pour less!"
Because at the moment he was talking, Wang Du and Lao Xu couldn't help pouring a full glass for themselves, which made Li Jiu slap his thigh in distress.
The rest of the people ignored him at all, and took their wine glasses and lined up next to them. Seeing this, Bai Moru quickly took the glass that Liu Ru had prepared for him and followed behind the crowd.
The only person in the yard who did not move was Shan Yucheng, who propped his chin with one hand, staring at Bai Moru who was queuing up in the crowd.
He was amazed and Bai Moru had such a shallow smile on his face at the moment, it seemed to contain some anticipation, but also seemed to be a little excited and nervous.Bai Moru had never shown such a smile before, Shan Yucheng couldn't help but feel palpitations, and wanted to leave his smile that was different from usual.
"Okay, okay, you guys pour less, leave some for me..." Li Jiu stood aside and stared at Wang Du who was in charge of pouring the wine, and he couldn't help muttering every time the bottom of the glass was dipped in wine.
How could Wang Du and the others not know the preciousness of this wine, so naturally they would be careful every time they arrived, for fear of spilling a drop.
After a round of wine was poured, the glasses of several people were only half full. They only thought that there could be a few more rounds, so that one person could drink an extra glass.
After Bai Moru got the wine, he happily held the cup and sat back in front of Shan Yucheng, and then naturally leaned into Shan Yucheng's arms.
Shan Yucheng's body was always hot, and Bai Moru leaning on him was like lying on a stove, his hands and feet were warm.
When Shan Yucheng saw Bai Moru approaching again, he was naturally overjoyed.
Under the moonlight, Shan Yucheng, who was dressed in white Shengxue with a bit of fairy air, opened his coat, and quickly adjusted his seat so that Bai Moru could lean comfortably.
Seeing Bai Moru holding the wine glass with both hands, sniffing and sniffing, and then took a small sip cherished, Shan Yucheng couldn't help swallowing, but his eyes didn't stay on Bai Moru's glass. In the middle, it was Bai Moru's lips that were stained with wine.
"It's really good wine, mellow and rich, elegant and delicate." Bai Moru couldn't help admiring, he was as lazy as a cat curled up in Shan Yucheng's arms.
"Hey, you're a smart kid, so I brought it here specially." Although Li Jiu felt sorry for the wine, he was also happiest to hear his friends praise his wine.
Even if it is good wine, it is most enjoyable to drink with friends.
"It's fragrant!" Wang Du couldn't help admiring again.
Not only Wang Du, but the rest of them were also full of praise.
But after taking this sip, everyone was no longer in a hurry to drink. Instead, they smacked their lips and aftertaste, they all gathered around the table, looked for chopsticks and tasted the appetizers that had already been placed on the table.
Li Jiu was very stingy, the wine they brought was not enough for a dozen of them to drink for a few rounds, how could they not save some?
"Young Master Shan, don't you want to try it?" Li Jiu looked at Shan Yucheng, who had been leaning on Bai Moru from the very beginning and didn't go to the table to get the wine.
What he said was not a kind reminder to Shan Yucheng, but a jealousy of the half glass of wine left on the table.
If Shan Yucheng doesn't drink, he can do it for him!
"If you don't drink, I—" Wang Du didn't care about the courtesy, and stretched out his hand to snatch it.
But there was one hand that moved faster than him, Shan Yucheng only leaned forward a little, and filled the wine glass with his slender fingers.
He is not unusual for this wine. After all, he is in Shan's family. Even if he doesn't particularly like wine, he has seen some good wine. But even if he is not unusual, he doesn't drink it. drank.
If you want to give it, you have to give it to Bai Moru.
"You like it?" Shan Yucheng rolled his eyes and landed on Bai Moru's face.
"You don't want to drink?" Bai Moru's eyes showed a bit of greed, this wine is indeed good wine, he likes it very much.
"Then mine is for you to drink." Shan Yucheng protected the cup in his hands under the scorching gaze of the crowd, resolutely not to be snatched away by those people.
Bai Moru was naturally happy, how could he be unhappy after drinking the wine for two by himself.
Leaning in Shan Yucheng's arms, Bai Moru couldn't help casting complacent glances at the crowd after eating some side dishes, and then looked at the crowd with satisfaction and stared back even more angrily.
Under the faint moonlight, after some commotion, everyone started talking.
Wang Du and the others came this time not just to find Bai Moru for a drink, but also to talk to Bai Moru about something.
A few of them have decided to leave here.The end of the new year is approaching, although there are still a few months to go, but there are many things in their family that need to be dealt with, so they have to leave these days, and it will be a year later when they come back.
Everyone's itinerary has been set, and the fastest time is only these two days, and the slowest time is before the end of the month.
"I've been keeping an eye on the things in the capital for you. There should be hope. You are ready to go to Beijing when you receive a letter." Wang Du warned that this is a rare opportunity. It seemed a little boring to him, but to Bai Moru, it was an opportunity to broaden his horizons.
"I see." Bai Moru agreed.
"After arriving in the capital, you can go to me or Lao Xu and the others." Wang Du said again, "When you arrive at the place, you can find someone by just asking. I will let the people below pay attention to your name. You just need to report your name." find me by name."
After Wang read these words, several other people also nodded one after another. Obviously, everyone has passed this matter.
Bai Moru nodded again, but Wang Du said again: "I asked your mother before, it seems that you have never traveled far, so be careful on the road, the bumpy road is no worse than in the town."
Wang Du is much older than Bai Moru, and he has also made friends with Bai Moru sincerely. Now when he talks about this matter, he can't help but talk too much.
The rest of the people didn't laugh at Wang Du's mother-in-law at the moment, and only gave a few more words after Wang Du, all talking about how to find them.
"Don't worry, I will go with him, and I will arrange everything on the way." Shan Yucheng's cold voice sounded after the crowd. He had already discussed this matter with Bai Moru.
Bai Moru just smiled at this, he has indeed never traveled far, and this place is no different from the place he lived before, so it is always a good thing to be cautious.
"Then remember to come to us when you arrive in the capital," Li Jiu said.
"Can the invitation you mentioned earlier be delivered to Shan's family?" Shan Yucheng turned to look at Wang Du.
003.
"Good family?" Wang Du didn't understand. Naturally, it is best to send the invitation in the hands of the person concerned.
"I want to take him to my house first, and it happens that my house is not far from the capital, so I can rest for a while before going there." Shan Yucheng said.
"To your house?" Bai Moru slightly raised his wine-red face and looked at Shan Yucheng, who had never told him about it.
"I haven't had time to tell you yet." Shan Yucheng understood the doubt in Bai Moru's eyes, he frowned, as if recalling some bad memories, "My mother is ill, my father asked me to go back soon , I thought that you were about to leave for the capital, and I thought that you would go back to Shan's house with me, so that I could have someone to take care of me on the way."
Mentioning Mrs. Na Shan, Bai Moru looked back clearly, "Okay, when are you leaving? I'll make some arrangements first, so that Zhong Qing can help."
Zhongqing has been learning from him for more than a month, and now he has basically learned the 20 kinds of dim sum in the store. After a few days of careful training/teaching, he should be able to withstand him after he leaves.
Bai Moru's straightforwardness made Shan Yucheng's heart beat a beat slower. He lowered his head and stared at the lazy and elegant Bai Moru in front of him, his eyes half closed, and he just wanted to firmly remember his appearance at this moment and the size of the corners of his mouth. His every expression.
"I can do it, it depends on when it's convenient for you." Shan Yucheng's cold voice concealed a bit of imperceptible hoarseness and trembling.
"That's a problem." Bai Moru sipped his wine and pondered.
"The meeting is probably scheduled for mid-October." Wang Du said, this news has not been released to the public, so only he knows.
Although the gatherings every year are during the Chinese New Year period, they are not very close to the end of the year. After all, those who can participate in this kind of gathering are some people, and most of these people have a lot of entertainment at the end of the year.
If it is crowded at the end of the year, there will be very few people who can go.
"Middle of October?" Bai Moju slightly had a headache. His brother was going to get married a year ago, and the time was set in the twelfth lunar month. He would definitely come back.
"Then it should be in time. My brother's wedding day is in November, so I can come back sooner." Shan Yucheng knew what Bai Moru was thinking, "Just work harder, auntie."
Bai Moru nodded, but he also knew that Shan Yucheng's last words were just to comfort him.
Even if he stayed in this town, according to Liu Ru and Bai Xueming's personalities, he would not be asked to help, so as not to tire him again.
"In that case, let's see you in the capital." Wang Du drank the last half of his wine and raised his glass at Bai Moru.
This night was the last night Bai Moru saw these people.Since the early morning of the second day, his shop has become a bit quieter than before, and the specially reserved private room facing the street has also been moved out and opened to the public.
After knowing the approximate time, Bai Moru stepped up teaching Zhong Qing, and let Zhong Qing do the dim sum in the shop as much as possible, and he watched from the side.
The business in the store was as full as ever, and instead of weakening with the passage of time, the enthusiasm became stronger and stronger.
The line of people that originally only lined up in the middle of the street has already reached the end of the street.
After Wang Du and others left, the matter of Bai Moru's going to the capital somehow leaked out, letting the proprietress of the cloth shop across the street know.
After the proprietress found out about the incident, she ran to the store, and she said reluctantly while pulling Bai Moru.
"It will take more than two months for you to go." The proprietress's slightly affluent face was full of reluctance, "How about I go with you? It just so happens that I have never been to this capital."
"I appreciate the kindness." Bai Moru refused.
After getting along for a long time, Bai Moru knew that this person was joking. If he really agreed, this person would feel sorry for her family again, and then he would not be willing to leave the town.
"Then when are you going to set off, so that I can practice it for you?" The proprietress smiled sweetly.
"In more than ten days." Bai Moru still had that gentle smile on his face.
"So fast!" the proprietress said.
"It's better to go early and return early. There will be my brother's marriage later in the twelfth lunar month, so I can come back earlier to help." Bai Moru mentioned Bai's scientific name, and his eyes couldn't help but feel a little more warm.
"Speaking of which, there is such a thing, I almost forgot." The proprietress has a good relationship with Liu Ru, "Don't worry, I will help my sister."
"Then I will trouble you." Bai Moru heaved a sigh of relief.
With the help of this person, Liu Ru will be more relaxed after all.
Although Liu Ru has a good heart and is gentle and easy to get along with, she still lacks opinions.
The proprietress appears to be a fool, but she is actually a person with her own opinions, she can make up her mind on big and small matters.With her watching, people outside would never be able to bully Liu Ru.
"What's our relationship..." The proprietress laughed ambiguously.
Bai Moru smiled frankly and didn't answer any more.
The proprietress chatted with Bai Moru for a while before returning home.
But that night, this person knocked on the door of his courtyard again, and Bai Moru, who opened the door in fright and was blocked by her, thought she was really bold enough to sneak attack at night.
Fortunately, this person only laughed and said a few words, then didn't continue talking, but took out a small note from his pocket and stuffed it into Bai Moru's pocket.
"I told my guy after you got home, and then he wrote me this address and asked me to give it to you." The proprietress stood at the gate of the courtyard, but she had no intention of entering the courtyard.
Bai Moru took the note and opened it to look at it. There was only a street name and a residence written in black and white on it.
"When my family was in the capital, they found a civil job here, and they worked for seven or eight years. There are also a few people they know in this mansion. If you encounter something, you can try to find them. "The proprietress looked Bai Moru up and down, and she couldn't help showing a little worry in her eyes, "The capital city is not as comfortable as our small town, so you have to be careful."
As far as she knew, Bai Moru had left this small town only a few times, not to mention going to a nearby big town, and she was always a little uneasy that he was going to go so far all of a sudden.
The people outside are no more talkative than the people in their town. If Bai Moru accidentally offends someone, where will they go to find someone when they are beyond their reach?
"Thank him for me." After reading it, Bai Moru put away the note and did not reject it. He accepted the kindness, "Also, don't tell my mother what you said. Don't even mention it." When he said this, Bai Moru showed a bit of seriousness on his face.
"I know." The proprietress laughed.
Who in this town and street doesn't know that Liu Ru loves his son?
Ever since she knew that Bai Moru was going to the capital, Liu Ru had been extremely nervous during this time. She had thought over and over again what luggage to bring to Bai Moru alone, for fear of missing something so that Bai Moru would be there. Useless on the road.
Not only this, but Liu Ru went to the medical clinic to grab three sets of the medicine for wind and cold alone, saying that he wanted Bai Moru to prepare it on the road just in case, not to mention there were other types of medicine.As for this number, it was obtained after Bai Moru bargained with her.
If Liu Ru heard what they said, he would never leave this town for the rest of his life.
After the proprietress delivered the note, a few days later, she invited everyone to a nearby restaurant for dinner, saying that she wanted to practice it for Bai Moru.
This line was practiced, but it made Liu Ru's eyes red.
Bai Moru had been in poor health since he was born, and almost died several times over the years, Liu Rushi took him very seriously.But she didn't want Bai Moru to be imprisoned in this small town the size of a sesame seed for the rest of her life, and she didn't want to open her mouth to force Bai Moru to stay. She had a difficult choice between the two, so she turned red-eyed after drinking some wine.
After returning to the courtyard that night, Bai Moru coaxed him for a long time before Liu Ru fell asleep with red eyes.
But no matter how hard it is to let go, the time of departure is still getting closer day by day.
When the first ray of dawn in the sky quietly shone on the roof of the small courtyard, Bai Moru picked out some of the luggage that Liu Ru had prepared for him, and followed Shan Yucheng into the carriage.
It was the end of autumn and the beginning of winter. After an autumn rain a few days ago, the weather suddenly turned cold, and now everyone had to put on a layer of thin cotton clothes.
At the gate of the small courtyard, Liu Ruhong took out a few packs of bundled medicines from the house and stuffed them into the carriage, "You take all the medicines, and I will prepare all the medicines you often take. Although your health is better now than before It’s a lot, but it’s always better to be prepared.”
She was afraid that if Bai Moru fell ill on the road, but he was unfamiliar with the place and had nowhere to get medicine, it would be delayed.
"Okay, I'll bring it." Bai Moru also knew that it's not appropriate to be serious with Liu Ru at this moment, so since the morning, he has agreed to whatever Liu Ru said.
"Wear more clothes on the road, the carriage is no warmer than at home." Liu Ru helped Bai Moru tighten his cloak.
She was really reluctant, since Bai Moru was born until now, the longest time he had been separated from her was not more than half a day, and now he would have to leave for two or three months, how could she be willing.
She felt uncomfortable when Bai Xuemin left before, but Bai Xueming only went there for [-] days, and he has returned a few days ago.
Now one came back, but another left...
"Don't worry, Auntie, I have a heater on the carriage." Shan Yucheng looked serious, and he had already arranged a residence along the road, as long as he arrived at the place, he would have hot water to go to the room, but the journey was a bit hard.
After listening to Bai Moru's words, Liu Ru couldn't help but feel more hesitant and worried. She looked up at Shan Yucheng, and after struggling for a while, she finally said to Bai Moru, "When you arrive at Shan's house, don't talk to me. When the old man gets into a dispute, even if there is a dispute, you should say less annoying words and more sweet words, you are smart, you should know that there are some things that the old man is afraid of..."
Listening to Liu Ru's words, Bai Moru and Yu Shanyucheng were puzzled at first, but after a while they understood, Shan Yucheng blushed and Bai Moru showed a bit of embarrassment.
"mother……"
His trip was to attend a rally in the capital, not to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law...
