Volume 1, Chapter 120: How about taking you to steal peach blossom wine?
He looked at Qingfeng who was eating so seriously beside him and interrupted him.
"Qingfeng, stop eating. I want to test you on the ancient poem I taught you a few days ago to see if you still remember it."
Qingfeng stopped what he was doing, but his mouth was still full.
He hesitated and said, "Um...Brother...what do you want to test me on?"
"Ahem, looking at the Lushan Waterfall, can you still recite it?"
Qingfeng looked confused. Why did his elder brother say this when they were having breakfast so early in the morning?
But I was secretly glad that I knew this song.
So he showed it in front of everyone who was busy eating.
"The sun shines on the incense burner, producing purple smoke, and in the distance I see a waterfall hanging in front of the river."
"The waterfall drops three thousand feet straight down, and it looks like the Milky Way falling from the sky."
After reciting it, he looked at Ye Tingmu with full confidence.
But what he saw was not the relieved smile he had imagined.
Ye Tingmu had a gloomy face.
He said in a deep voice: "I recited it wrong."
Guanqi looked up at his eldest brother in surprise. Third brother was not wrong in reciting it, so why did the eldest brother say that?
Jinghong looked indifferent. Such things had nothing to do with her anyway. Apart from being interested in watching others fight, she had no interest in poetry, books, rituals and music.
Ye Tingmu continued, "It's a waterfall that plunges 100,000 feet. You know, 100,000."
When talking about those 120,000 words, he always raises his voice by a few decibels.
The group of people were confused again.
Even the chess spectators were confused. When did it become 100,000 feet?
Qingfeng was also confused and didn't know what to say.
He turned his head and stood next to Zhou Heisan, muttering softly.
"What's wrong with my brother... He's sick."
Feng He slapped him directly.
"What nonsense."
Qingfeng was unhappy and rolled up his sleeves.
Looking at Feng He viciously.
"Big brother is mean to me, second brother you hit me, are you going to let me eat?"
Ye Tingmu kept his eyes on Dongfang Qingzhu. He saw her eyes looking at Ye Tingmu for a while, then at Ye Qingfeng, and she didn't forget to put the soup into her mouth.
It seemed as if he didn't care at all about Ye Tingmu's reminder.
I don’t know if he was pretending to be confused and didn’t want to give it, or if he didn’t react at all.
In Ye Tingmu's opinion, the probability of the latter seems to be higher.
I was already in a bad mood, and when I saw Qingfeng put his legs on the chair, my temper flared up immediately.
"If you don't agree, don't eat it."
Qingfeng instantly wilted after being glared at by Ye Tingmu.
Curled his lips.
"Why not eat? Who can have a problem with eating?"
As he said this, he started eating.
Ye Tingmu sighed and went straight out of the house.
He did not forget to shout, "Old Two, eat quickly, we will go out for a while."
"Oh, I see, bro."
Wait until Ye Tingmu leaves.
Several people started discussing.
Jinghong said, "What's wrong with my brother this morning? He's acting weird."
Hua Zhilu drank the soup in small sips.
"Maybe I'm in a bad mood."
Qingfeng chewed the food in his mouth vigorously, but his eyes were glaring at Jinghong angrily.
That look seemed to want to eat Jinghong up.
Jinghong was looked at like this by him and said unhappily: "Third brother, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Hmph..." Qingfeng snorted coldly and said, "Besides you wetting the bed, what else can big brother be angry about? I always take the blame for you, and you are still laughing."
Jinghong quit and said she didn't want to take the blame.
A pair of small hands slapped on the table, and she said righteously in her childish voice: "You know the situation. The probability of me wetting the bed is equivalent to drinking water and eating every day. If big brother could be angry about this, I would probably be angry to death by me, okay? I won't take all the blame."
Hearing him say this, Feng He and Guan Qi nodded repeatedly, with deep agreement in their eyes.
They thought what Jinghong said made sense.
Zhou Heisan blurted out something out of the blue.
"Why is that?"
Dongfang Qingzhu grinned with a smug smile on his face.
I thought to myself, what a bunch of idiots.
"Hey, I know."
She naturally knew what Ye Tingmu meant.
First he asked himself to do some arithmetic, then he showed himself that he was short of money, and then he asked Qingfeng to recite ancient poems.
Aren't they all reminding themselves that it's time to pay the one hundred thousand taels?
She is so talented, how could she not guess this?
I'm just pretending not to know.
It’s not that she didn’t want to give it, but she knew that once she gave it, Ye Tingmu and the others would most likely leave.
She had a hunch that although this scholar was calm and composed, he was definitely not the kind of person who liked to show off. He acted steadily and would most likely leave the Dongfang family after taking the money.
Out of selfishness, he would delay it for as long as possible. It just so happened that his ancestor gave him a sword. Given his personality, he had already accepted it. So, whether it was 100,000 taels or 10,000 taels, it was not easy for the other party to tell her directly in a short period of time.
She looked at the crowd who were still discussing and looked confused, with a faint smile on her lips.
She likes this feeling, the lively feeling.
Dongfang Qingzhu has been an orphan since childhood.
He grew up with his grandfather by his side.
Later, after my grandfather went on a long journey, my father became the head of the Dongfang family and was very busy with affairs.
However, because she was favored by the ancestor, she was also rejected by her brothers and sisters in the same clan.
So since he was ten years old, although he enjoyed all the luxuries, he was always alone.
And Dongfang Xiu, her uncle, would come to see her occasionally a few years ago, have breakfast with her, and travel with her to Beimang.
So she trusted Dongfang Xiu very much.
That's why I made this trip to Yecheng.
In fact, the place he went to at first was not Beimang, but Shangyun City.
We wanted to go to Shangyun to appreciate the first bunch of peach blossoms in early spring, but later my uncle changed the route and went to Yecheng.
She had never traveled far, so it didn't really matter where she went; what mattered was that she just went out.
So there was no objection.
His father and ancestors only found out about this matter afterwards.
Thinking that she had never traveled far since she was a child, he did not stop her and let her stay outside for a few days. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened.
She held her chin with both hands, looked at the faces in front of her, and narrowed her eyes into the crescent moon in the sky.
Actually, it seems that being kidnapped wouldn’t be that bad, because I met you.
If the script could be repeated, I would still choose the same path and let everything happen again.
Although I didn’t eat well or sleep well this month.
But she was very happy.
A lot of skills are unlocked.
For example, making fire, cutting vegetables, etc.
For someone like her, material things are far less important than companionship.
People are like this. When you have material things, you will desire spiritual satisfaction and value love more than money.
The same goes for the other side.
Looking at Jinghong who was eating pastries.
Dongfang Qingzhu said with a smile, "Jinghong, I'll take you guys to do something big later, how about that?"
Several people looked up at her at the same time, their eyes full of curiosity. What kind of big thing was it?
Jinghong saw a hint of mystery on her face.
I couldn't help but ask, "Sister Qingzhu, what's the big deal?"
There was a bright smile on the corner of Dongfang Qingzhu's mouth, and she grabbed in the air with her jade hand.
"Stealing my father's magic brew."
When she heard about the magical wine, golden stars appeared in Jinghong's eyes.
Exclaimed in surprise.
“Why do I feel so excited?”
Qingfeng said in a deep voice, and his chubby face trembled.
"Me too."
