Chapter 189 Shennongjia (4)

The evening breeze in midsummer is still a little warm, with bright lights on both sides, and the chirping of crickets came from his ears. Zhu Qingsheng walked in the corridor, slowly adjusting his breathing, and taking on the wrong things he did. Although he was nervous about this banquet, he still urged himself to walk over slowly.

What should I say if I see Hua Nong? I sincerely apologize to her, but I am afraid that she will become more and nothing will work. And how can I explain to him that I am probably a reputation as a disciple in him.

As soon as the corridor turned, he saw that Master Sima Yuan and was in front of him, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and quickly ran two steps: "Master, what are Old Master Yu invited us to do? You can't just have a meal, right?" Although he didn't hear the butler's invitation, he invited Master, but his disciples made trouble, how could he not have the Master's business?

Sima Yuanji gently patted his shoulder and said, "I don't know either. In short, it's good or bad. Don't worry."

Turning around the corridor, we arrived at the back garden. Four big red lanterns were hung high on the pavilion in the lake, which was very bright. The table seemed to have wine and food. Old Master Yu was sitting on the fence, as if waiting for the two of them to arrive. Zhu Qingsheng remembered that it was the place where he followed his master to come here last night. He couldn't help but look at his master, wondering what he said to Fairy Nan Yao last night.

Sima Yuanji walked slowly first. Although Zhu Qingsheng came last night, he just hid behind the stone to watch from a distance. Now walking on the wooden bridge, the cool and moist water vapor rushes into his face, and his hot body has also become a little refreshed. Looking at the bridge, there are lotus flowers blooming, lotus leaves are green, surrounded by pink and full lotus flowers. When you look at it, your heart and lungs are as if washed away. Zhu Qingsheng's uneasy heart has calmed down.

When Yu Xin saw the two of them coming, he hurriedly stood up and bowed and smiled, "Sir and the little brother are here, I welcome you, welcome you."

When Zhu Qingsheng saw Yu Xin’s smile, he breathed a sigh of relief. If he was angry and blamed himself, the consequences would not be very serious.

Sima Yuanji smiled and said, "We master and apprentice stayed in your mansion for several days. We were uneasy, but we were so worried that the old man would greet each other like this. It really ruined us."

"It's okay, it's okay," Yu Xin said happily: "I have prepared a few plates of side dishes and a few glasses of cold wine. In the remote places, there are no delicious food or nectar. I'm really negligent. Sir and my little brother, please." As he said that, he walked sideways and poured three glasses of wine.

There were four plates of green vegetables on the table, which were unique to this area. It was surrounded by a blue and white porcelain basin in the middle, which was one and a half feet wide and four inches high. It was the most famous soup in this area: Feng Yin Baihua, which was the root of fresh bean sprouts, the leaves of earthy leeks, the sweet and crisp core of the cabbage, the fungus soaked in clear spring water, and the egg flowers made of eggs produced on the day... The ingredients are ordinary, but everything needs to be carefully selected. Each leaf and each condiment only takes the most essence of it, and no other is used, so it is extremely rare.

Zhu Qingsheng thought to himself that Mr. Yu is so smart. These dishes are just right for the master's appetite. I don't know how he knew it. However, the more sophisticated it is, the more important it is, the more important it is.

Yu Xin smiled and said, "Sit, two of you quickly." As he said that, he sat down in the seat of the Lord's accompanying him.

Since he had already sat down, Sima Yuanji was not willing to refuse, so he sat down with Zhu Qingsheng, and the seat of the guest of honor was empty.

Yu Xin said: "I originally wanted to invite Mr. to drink morning tea early this morning, but unfortunately, I learned that Mr. went out early and could not leave tonight. I will give it my respect first." He picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank it clean.

Sima Yuanji smiled and said, "I have something to do this morning, but I have let down the old man's kindness. I will punish myself." He also poured a glass of wine into his stomach.

Zhu Qingsheng was quite embarrassed. He had never drunk alcohol and didn't know what to say. Fortunately, Yu Xin was proficient in human nature and said with a smile: "I think this glass of wine is not for my younger brother's appetite. But I can't take good care of it. There is a pot of wine made from figs here, and some other flower and fruit are added. Let me see how it is."

He stood up and picked up Zhu Qingsheng's wine glass and poured it aside. Zhu Qingsheng also stood up in a hurry and said, "You don't pick on it, and the old man doesn't have to worry about it."

Yu Xin smiled and said, "Hey, my little brother is a guest here. How can I be neglected? Let's see if this pot of wine matches the taste of my little brother?" At this time, the maid brought a pot of wine. Before she could pour it out, she smelled a rich and sweet fruity aroma. Yu Xin took it and slowly filled it in Zhu Qingsheng's cup, saying, "This wine is brewed by the old man. This is the only one in the world. How about trying it?"

When Zhu Qingsheng saw him pouring wine, he quickly held the wine glass in both hands. Seeing that the poured wine was light yellow, the sweet and sweet fragrance became even stronger, without any smell of wine. Zhu Qingsheng couldn't help but drink it with his head, and it seemed as smooth and thick as honey in his mouth, with only a faint smell of wine, including figs and cherries. As for other sources of aroma, Zhu Qingsheng knew only so much that he could not tell it.

When Yu Xin saw Zhu Qingsheng very happy, he was extremely proud. The secret recipe for fig wine was made by him when he was a teenager to make his wife happy for several days. When he took it out today, the effect was extraordinary.

He sat back on his original position and smiled, "How does this wine taste to the little brother?"

Zhu Qingsheng said happily: "That's right, of course it's right." He sniffed deep on the tip of his nose again, thinking that Hua Nong liked Huaguo Pastry the most, and didn't know if this was right or not, but she didn't know if she was still angry with her. What if she ignored her?

Thinking of this, Zhu Qingsheng was still feeling a little lost and sad, but he didn't know where this feeling came from.

Zhu Qingsheng was wandering around the world and didn't care about the conversation between Mr. Yu and his master. His mind was full of Hua Nong's angry expressions. It would be great if he didn't do this at noon today.

Zhu Qingsheng was in a daze, and suddenly heard Yu Xin sighing heavily and said, "Sir, I'm not alive for a few days." Zhu Qingsheng was shocked and came to his senses. Seeing Yu Xin drinking a full glass of wine, his face turned red, as if he had drunk a lot. He held the wine pot with his hand and said to his master Sima Yuanji, "Sir, look at me, I'm so glorious, right? Actually, I feel bitter."

Oh, this was obviously a bit drunk. When Zhu Qingsheng saw Yu Xin lifting the wine pot, he shakingly poured it several times. Before pouring it into the wine pot, he simply lifted the wine pot and poured it directly into his mouth. Zhu Qingsheng saw that he was so old, but he drank a big gulp. Unlike his own flower and fruit honey wine, he drank bitter and mellow white wine. He was about to persuade the old man to drink less, but the master waved his hand and made a gesture, saying that he could discharge all the wine in Yu Xin's body. Zhu Qingsheng stopped talking.

Sima Yuanji said: "The old man and his grandchildren are full of children and grandchildren, and the second lady is lively and cheerful granddaughter. She has no worries about food and clothing. Where can we be sad? If we talk about sorrow, it should be sad for both of us. We are wandering in a place and having three meals. The old man is much better than us."

Yu Xin was drunk and said, "Sir, I made fun of me. Although I have a son and a daughter, my eldest son is an official in the capital and my younger daughter is a master who never comes back all year round. Although my granddaughter is lively, she is a practitioner who learns her skills after all. Compared to my son and daughter, she never comes back all year round."

Sima Yuanji sighed, "Old Master, life is like a cloud, gathering, separation and reunion is common. You should understand better than me after years of experience."

Yu Xin said, "I understand, but I am more and more afraid as I get older. Sir, you are a Taoist student. When a person dies, I am afraid that I will be lonely and helpless when I am old. Even if I have a wealthy family and rich clothes and food, what's the use?"

Zhu Qingsheng saw the old man's hair growing in full bloom. Although he was glorious on the surface, he was already lonely and sad inside.

Yu Xin gradually became excited, suddenly grabbed Sima Yuanji's wrist and said, "I have a reluctant request, sir, will definitely agree to me."

Sima Yuanji felt sorry for the old man and said warmly: "Old Master, I have given me instructions, and I will do everything."

Yu Xin said in a trembling voice: "Sir, take it seriously?"

"Take it seriously." Sima Yuanji patted the back of his hand.

Yu Xin said: "That's right. Yesterday I heard my husband talk about Feng Shui. I was deeply moved. I am afraid that I will not be able to come to someone like him in another twenty years. I want to ask him to choose a good Feng Shui place for me so that I can be buried in my later years."

Zhu Qingsheng suddenly realized that Yu Xin was the reason for the banquet for their master and apprentice tonight, but this is common sense. People cannot see through life and death and are afraid of things in the dark. Therefore, they try every means to escape from the way of life and death. From the emperors and relatives to the common people, they all yearn for eternity. However, since Qin Emperor and Han Wu, people no longer believe in the practice of becoming an immortal, so they turned to the afterlife.

Sima Yuanji has been around for a long time and knows that people in the world cannot see through and cannot break through, so he said, "Don't worry, old man, I will definitely find a place with good Feng Shui for you."

Yu Xin looked excited and said, "I would like to thank you sir."

Sima Yuanji said: "We master and apprentice were bothering each other in your mansion for many days. We should be thanking the old man."

Yu Xin said: "What is the point of staying here for two days? If you are willing, you can live here for a long time, so that you can listen to your teachings day and night."

Sima Yuanji smiled and said nothing, raised his head and took a sip of wine, which was considered to have avoided Yu Xin's invitation.

Yu Xin said: "Sir, I have another thing to bother with sir. It's like this. Recently, I often dream of a black shadow in my sleep. Standing in the distance and staring at me, like a ghost, it's really scary. I haven't had a good sleep for half a year. Do you know why?"

Sima Yuanji already understood that this was something that Mr. Yu Xin had been infected with unclean things, which disturbed his mind. But if he had been entangled with him for so long, he must have had a great grudge with him, so it would be difficult to deal with.

Sima Yuanji pondered and said, "Dare you dare to ask the old man, have you done anything against your will?"

Yu Xin's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "No, no, absolutely not." But as soon as he came up, he fainted in his head. He was stunned for a while, and suddenly sobbed: "Sir, sir, I, I, I have done something against my conscience before, which made me restless day and night. I thought that after so many years, this matter would fade, but I still can't let go, I can't let go."

When Zhu Qingsheng saw him excitedly and regretful, his face turned red, and two tears actually slid down from the corners of his eyes, which really touched his heart and regretted it very much.

Yu Xin's heart was stirred, and he stood up suddenly and said tremblingly: "Sir, I have harmed someone, I, I..." Suddenly, his body shook and he fell down.
