I served as Li Bai's page.
Chapter 4 Aunt Zhao Feng
Hearing the sound, Zi Yi came to the hall and greeted, "Master's Aunt, you're here! Young Master went to the Celestial Master Cave and hasn't returned yet."
I came out as well, and Ziyi pulled me over to introduce me: "Yuehua, this is your aunt Zhao Feng, the young master's junior sister."
"Master, this is the young master's pageboy, he just arrived, his name is Yuehua."
I timidly called out, "Master Aunt," and my face immediately turned red.
"She's quite shy, more like a little girl than a boy. She's quite pretty." Zhao Feng stared at me for a moment, then turned to Zi Yi: "It's almost noon, I'll eat here. Make some good food." She then turned and walked towards the young master's study.
I watched her retreating figure. She was about 1.6 meters tall, neither fat nor thin, with long hair cascading over her shoulders, a few strands tied together at the back in a bow. Her figure was graceful and elegant; her clothes fluttered as she walked, her movements light and lithe, as if she were about to take flight. Her face was like a peach blossom, pink and tender, her skin radiant and jade-like. Her eyes were large and bright, full of life, and her every glance seemed to hold a thousand tender emotions. At eighteen or nineteen, she was in the prime of her life.
I'm incredibly envious. I never imagined Li Bai had such a soulmate.
"Let's go cook," Ziyi reminded me promptly.
I went into the kitchen and saw that it was mostly vegetarian dishes. On a whim, I asked Ziyi, "Does Auntie like fish?"
"I like it, but nobody does it. I don't know how."
"Yes, I can! Come on, let's go catch fish in the pond. Today I'll make you a diving fish."
Purple Robe was very excited, frantically searching for tools and taking off her clothes. As she left, she called out, "Auntie, let's go fishing!"
Upon hearing about catching fish, Zhao Feng immediately jumped out of the study.
"I'm going too, wait for me."
The three of us arrived at the pool, and the nun asked, "Which of you can swim?"
Zi Yi quickly replied, "Yes, I can. I was born on the banks of the Fu River, and my father used to take me swimming in the river when I was very young."
"Then go and catch some fish. It'll be faster that way. I'm really looking forward to eating fish and I can't wait," said the nun.
Zi Yi took off her clothes, jumped down, and swam towards the fish hiding in the grass.
"I need crucian carp, Ziyi, hurry, there's one on your left, the size is just right." Zhao Feng paced anxiously back and forth by the pool, directing Ziyi to stumble around aimlessly, but they hadn't caught a single one after a long time.
"Master, don't speak, don't move. Ziyi, you shouldn't move either. Fish can hear sounds, and any slight movement will scare them away. We must remain still and catch them by surprise," I said.
The area around the pool fell silent instantly.
Just then, a crucian carp weighing about 1.5 pounds swam up behind Ziyi. Zhao Feng gestured nervously, and Ziyi carefully turned around and quickly caught it in her arms. I put down the basket and pulled the fish up.
We caught two crucian carp in total. I imitated the way I cooked them in that world: scaled them, gutted them, steamed them, and then poured a sauce made with chili peppers, scallions, ginger, garlic, and other spices over the steamed fish. Instantly, a fragrant aroma filled the air.
"It smells delicious, what would you like to eat?" Li Bai said as he walked into the house.
"Senior Brother"
"Young Master"
The three of us shouted in unison.
Zhao Feng flew over like a butterfly and hovered around Li Bai. Li Bai took her hand and sat her down at the table.
"Purple Robe, bring the wine."
I rushed over and said, "I'll go get it."
Ziyi took a jar from the kitchen cabinet, covered with a red cloth. I quickly took the jar, removed the red cloth, and a fragrant aroma of rice wine wafted out. This was perhaps a top-quality wine from the Tang Dynasty, comparable to Wuliangye from that era.
I filled a bowl for Zhao Feng and Li Bai, then sat down opposite them with Zi Yi.
"You two should drink too! Come on, fill your glasses! We have delicious snacks to go with the drinks. Let's have a good drink tonight!"
The jar of rice wine was gone in no time.
"Yuehua, go and get another jar," Li Bai said.
I stood up, my face flushed and my head spinning. As I took my first step, I didn't know where to go. I was drunk.
Ziyi quickly helped me sit down.
"I'll go instead." Ziyi went to the kitchen and brought out another jar of rice wine.
Li Bai picked up the jar and refilled our wine bowls. I waved my hands repeatedly, saying, "Brother, I can't drink anymore, I'm already drunk." Then I drank the bowl of wine in one gulp.
After hearing this, Li Bai and the other two burst into laughter.
While laughing, Zhao Feng mischievously imitated me, raising his wine bowl to Li Bai and saying, "Brother, come on, let's drink this bowl." Then he also drank it all in one gulp.
Li Bai said, "The moonlight can't withstand the power of wine; I'm drunk after just a few bowls. I need to practice more in the future. Come, let's continue drinking."
As we toasted and exchanged drinks, the terms "senior brother" and "young master" were changed to "brother." Only then did I realize that rice wine could also be intoxicating, and I immediately collapsed onto the table.
When I woke up to the sound of "twelve," it was almost dark.
Li Bai agreed and went out of the study to greet him: "Master, are you looking for your junior sister? She's sleeping in that room."
I quickly got out of bed and left the room. It turned out that Ziyi and I were lying on his bed, while Zhao Feng was sleeping in my room.
I arrived at the hall and saw an elderly man with his hair tied in a bun and wearing a black Taoist robe standing there.
"Master," I called out timidly.
"Twelve, who is this?"
"My new pageboy is named Yuehua."
"Yuehua, this is my master."
"I know."
"You figured that out?"
"No, I heard you call him master."
Dong Yanzi stared intently at me: "Carrying all that paper, pens, and ink on your back with that small frame will probably be a bit of a struggle, not much easier than Ziyi. You're quite petite and pretty, and seem rather clever. Good, that's fine." Dong Yanzi nodded repeatedly: "You should visit your master's place often in the future."
I was truly flattered and quickly nodded repeatedly, saying, "Okay, okay, thank you, Master."
At this moment, Zi Yi and Zhao Feng also got up.
Zhao Feng rubbed her eyes and called out, "Father!"
"Instead of practicing your skills with your master, you come here to drink. Go back and copy three chapters of the *Tao Te Ching*."
Li Bai quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Master, this is my fault, please don't punish her. I'll copy ten pieces."
"Both of them should be punished. Yuehua, you supervise your young master. Xiaofeng, come home with me."
After saying that, he took Zhao Feng's hand and walked westward.
Ziyi and I exchanged a glance, then both stared at Li Bai: "Young Master, please."
