1251 Tea Rhythm Restaurant
In addition to the feeling of powerlessness caused by the confrontation with Ye Qing, Li Shi'er's suspicion of the gods' slaves of Qi Shilie made Li Shi'er feel a deep sense of despair in addition to his powerlessness.
In the mansion in Yanjing these days, Li Shi'er has been weighing the pros and cons, thinking about what chips there are in her hand to make a last fight with Ye Qing.
But no matter how you think about it, Li Shi'er is actually very clear in her heart. With Ye Qing's strength and insidiousness, she actually has no bargaining chips to negotiate with Ye Qing. Even the only way that makes her feel that she can survive and not live under someone else's roof has begun to gradually shake her original beliefs.
Revenge for Wanyan Jing and recovering the country for his son Wanyan An, these Li Shi'er's initial beliefs and hopes have gradually been shattered in the past few days. As the dilemma of shortage of cash in Yanjing City was once again alleviated and the people were able to buy their living needs at a normal price again, Li Shi'er actually no longer had any hope, and even began to secretly think about the future path Ye Qing planned for her and Wanyan Ankang, and how feasible it is!
The Yan Prince's Mansion only hurriedly sent someone to give Li Shi'er a message: he set off tomorrow to leave Yanjing and go to Jin Kingdom, and Li Shi'er and Monk Wanyan Chen and others will stay in Yuguan for the result.
Let's set off tomorrow. Li Shi'er, who sat in the garden before dawn in the morning, watched the sun rise slowly from the east, and then watched the setting sun, helplessly buried slowly on the top of the Xishan peak in the distance. The feeling of sitting in the garden this day is like the current situation of the Jin Kingdom, and also like her, Li Shi'er's difficult situation. The afterglow of the sunset will eventually disappear completely into the vast earth in front of you, entering the endless night, and the future after dawn... Li Shi'er dared not think about what his destiny will be like.
When the lights in Yanjing City were first on, several lively street markets became more lively and noisy as the lanterns were lit. The silver and copper coins changed hands back and forth between vendors and customers. Both the buyers and sellers looked quite satisfied.
Everything in Yanjing City began to return to its usual normality with the emergence of broken silver and copper coins. At the entrance of a small teahouse, I couldn't see a few decent carriages in three or five days, but today I stopped two cars for the first time.
Moreover, compared to the decent carriages they saw, the two carriages parked at the door now, no matter which one in Yanjing City, the owner of the carriage is definitely either rich or noble, and it is definitely not the carriages they usually think that people with status and status can ride. After all, the luxury of these two carriages is beyond their imagination, just like... like a carriage in a palace that they have never seen before.
But now the imperial palaces in Yanjing City have become the official offices of the Song court here. So the owner who can sit in such a luxurious carriage is in Yanjing City. Apart from Yanwang Ye Qing, the shopkeeper does not think anyone else would dare to ride such a carriage.
But the shopkeeper couldn't understand how could his teahouse attract such a noble person? Could it be that the ancestral tomb is filled with smoke!
When the second luxury carriage stopped at the door, a beautiful young woman who suddenly lit up and walked off the carriage with a hint of melancholy expression, the shopkeeper of the Chayun Tea House couldn't help but tremble, and even forgot to go forward to greet him.
The beautiful young woman turned around and said to the tall man driving, "You wait outside, I'll go in by myself."
Monk Wanyan Chen unconsciously said, "Emperor..."
"No need to say it." Li Shi'er frowned slightly unhappy, then turned to look at the respectful shopkeeper next to her, and then followed the shopkeeper to a private room on the second floor.
In the elegant room, just as Li Shi'er thought, only Ye Qing was drinking tea quietly. When he heard the sound at the door, Ye Qing raised his head and smiled, signaled Li Shi'er to sit down opposite him, and then waved to the shopkeeper standing at the door. The shopkeeper immediately knew it and hurriedly took him to the door and left carefully.
Li Shi'er wanted to make the last dying struggle, so she sent someone to send a message to Ye Qing, and Ye Qing chose to talk to Li Shi'er here.
Looking around the elegant room, the furnishings do not look very tasteful or high-end. The well-decorated decoration, a small tea table and a few soft seats can be used for three or five people to sit here to have tea and have heart-to-heart talk.
The tea in front of me was not very good. At least Li Shi'er didn't feel that the tea that Ye Qing drank with relish, and the light tea fragrance scattered in the elegant room.
"What you said at the beginning is still counting?" As the shopkeeper slowly went upstairs, Li Shi'er had already made up his mind in just a few dozen steps away.
"Do you know why I chose this place?" Ye Qing asked back without answering.
Li Shi'er looked at Ye Qing quietly. The man in front of him was still a salesperson's face, with clear edges and angular facial features, and her temples were still a bit gray and thorny in her eyes. He was still calm, confident and casual. However, now, there was still a hint of power of a person who had been in a high position for a long time between his eyebrows.
"Do you know what the name of this teahouse is?" Ye Qing saw that Li Shi'er was silent, and then poured a cup of tea and asked.
Li Shi'er was still silent. Under the candlelight, she looked at Ye Qing pouring tea for herself, then retracted her eyes, and then looked on Ye Qing's body again.
"Chengyun Tea House." Li Shi'er answered.
"Yes, it's called Chayun Tea House." Ye Qing's tone was a little emotional, and his deep eyes seemed a little melancholy at this moment.
"Do you know..." Ye Qing looked at Li Shi'er, organized his words and continued: "Do you know how I got to this point today?"
"I'm not interested, nor do I want to know. I just want to know, what you said before is still counting now?" Li Shi'er's tone was a little cold.
"It's actually very simple. I walked to this day because I walked into a teahouse called Chayun. In Yanjing, it was called Chayun Teahouse. This may be the only difference." Looking at Li Shi'er's impatient expression, Ye Qing didn't care and continued: "The teayun teahouse I went to Lin'an was small, but the place was not small. The decoration, elegance, style and luxury inside were even better than the teahouse that is known as a building...."
Before Ye Qing could continue, Li Shi'er said with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth, saying disdain: "The King of Yan wanted to say that the teahouse in Yanjing is not as noble as the teahouse in Lin'an. This teahouse overestimates its ability to take the word "tea rhyme", right? But don't forget that Yanjing is now also a prefecture under the rule of the Song Dynasty. Although Yanjing is not as rich as Lin'an, it still has its unique heritage and style. These... are by no means comparable to Lin'an's teahouse."
"I just want to say that since I stepped into that tea-yun teahouse, my originally peaceful life began to change irreversibly, and everything began to become different. Even if I wanted to try to get rid of this change that brought me uneasy inner self, no matter how hard I struggled, everything was useless in the end. All the things I didn't want to do were forced by the reality and environment in front of me to do as I did." Ye Qing recalled the past when he first entered the Lin'an Imperial Guard, Wu Gui called the Chayun teahouse to guard the Yan Mansion that day.
Just like telling other people's stories, it is also like telling Li Shier, who entered the tea-rhyme teahouse in Lin'an by yourself, who entered the tea-rhyme teahouse in Yanjing, that some things are destined. No matter how hard you struggle, the world will only remain indifferent. Everything can only be achieved by relying on yourself to grow up in adversity in times of life.
Since he left the Tea House, Ye Qing's fate began to change fundamentally. He met many people one after another. Some of them were friends at the beginning, but they became opponents at the beginning, and some became enemies at the beginning, and some became enemies at the beginning, but they became friends at the end.
Ye Qing did not hide any of his past in front of Li Shi'er, and his tone never changed. He always seemed to be telling Li Shi'er about other people's stories, Bai Chun and Li Heng, to Yan Qingcheng, Tang Situi, Yu Yunwen, Shi Miyuan and others after leaving the Tea Rhyme Tea House, were all told by Ye Qing without any concealment.
Li Shi'er was listening quietly, and even when he heard the dangerous place and paused when Ye Qing was combing the past in his mind, Li Shi'er would unconsciously take the initiative to pick up the teapot and pour tea for Ye Qing's empty cup that had been empty for a long time.
Li Shi'er's expression gradually began to move from the initial calmness. Finally, he followed Ye Qing's narration, and his expression also began to change with sadness, joy and sorrow.
After saying that the last troops arrived at Yanjing City, Ye Qing stopped, and the originally lively noise outside the teahouse had long disappeared. Only when the silence of the late night began, it had unknowingly penetrated into the silent tea room.
"I understand." After a while, Li Shi'er put down the teacup that had already lost its taste and said lightly.
Then he looked at Ye Qing, who was calm and slowly got up. When he walked to the door of the elegant room, Li Shi'er stopped and took a deep breath as his shoulders trembled slightly. After Li Shi'er finally turned around and looked at Ye Qing who was still sitting there motionless. He smiled and said, "But don't forget that not everyone has the good luck like you, Ye Qing, and... and the yin thread and cunning that you ordinary people don't have."
"If the dog is anxious, he will jump over the wall..." Ye Qing said without hesitation.
Li Shi'er looked angry in an instant: "Who are you scolding a dog? You are the dog!"
With a bang, the door of the Yashi room was slammed hard by Li Shi'er who turned and left. In the quiet middle of the night, the sound of the door slamming seemed particularly loud.
Monk Wanyan Chen, who was sitting in the first-floor hall with Jia She, heard the sound upstairs, unconsciously glanced at the shopkeeper of the teahouse who was shocked. Then, just as he walked to the stairs to look at Li Shi'er, he saw a hint of pride walking downstairs with a hint of pride on his lips.
