Chapter 5 Camellia

While Jian Lirong was thinking wildly, Camellia had already brewed the tea and handed him a cup: "Please."

"Thank you! My name is Jian Lirong, it's great to meet you!" Jian Lirong happily took the tea, and quickly took a sip, "It's delicious! What kind of tea is this?"

"Biluochun, a friend of mine gave it the day before yesterday. It is indeed a good product." Camellia also began to drink tea gracefully, "In Xia Lu Zian, how did Mr. Jian get lost in the mountains?"

"It's the first time I've traveled alone in Maoqingshan, and I have a very poor sense of direction." Jian Lirong smiled, "Also, don't call me Young Master Jian, just call me Li Rong. I'm 19 years old, you Woolen cloth?"

"I'm a year older than you."

"Wow, I can't tell at all! Then I'll call you Brother Camellia!"

"Shan... Brother Camellia? Why?"

"Because you are as elegant and charming as a camellia in my eyes!" Jian Lirong looked at him with a smile while drinking tea.

Camellia's face was slightly reddened by Jian Lirong's straightforwardness: "It's better to call me Zian."

"Okay." Although the habit of giving people nicknames can't be changed, but he never insists on calling out rashly, "Brother Zi'an lives in this mountain by himself? I also came here by mistake, didn't it Is Zi'an a reclusive worldly expert?"

"Why, it's just that every summer I live here for a few months to escape the heat."

"This is indeed a good place to escape from the summer heat!" Jian Lirong sipped tea, looked up and saw a plaque on Camellia's residence with the words "Jinseju", "Your name 'Jinseju' is taken from Li Shangyin Is it "Jinse"?"

"Huh?" Camellia looked at him with an expression of not understanding what Jian Lirong said.

"Don't you know Li Shangyin?" If it is [-] AD, it should be the Yuan Dynasty, right?Then how could it be possible not to know Li Shangyin, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty?

"I don't know." Camellia shook her head honestly.

Could it be that he did not travel back to ancient times, but traveled to another time and space where human development, historical civilization and his original world were completely unrelated?This esoteric question is really not suitable for Jian Lirong to think about at this time, so he recited Li Shangyin's "Jinse": "Jinse has fifty strings for no reason, and one string and one column thinks about the year. Zhuang Shengxiao dreamed of butterflies, Wang Dichun's heart Entrust the cuckoo. There are tears in the moonlight pearl in the sea, and smoke in the warm jade in the blue field. This feeling can be regarded as a memory, but it was lost at that time."

"Good poem!" Camellia applauded after hearing it, and said after thinking for a while, "It's just full of sadness and melancholy. I don't know why your friend surnamed Li wrote this poem?"

How could Jian Lirong be friends with a celebrity who has been dead for thousands of years, but it would be troublesome to explain, so he had to explain it vaguely by saying that he was not born in the same era, but just accidentally learned of Li Shangyin's masterpiece, and then Tell the camellia the allusions of Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly, Wangdi turning into a cuckoo, sharks weeping beads, and Liangyu's smoke.

"Li Rong is really well-informed and knowledgeable, and he knows so many touching and interesting stories." Camellia was fascinated by hearing it.

"I don't dare to be knowledgeable or anything, but I usually like to read books."

"Li Rong doesn't need to be too modest, I can tell from your conversation that you are quite knowledgeable.

Jian Lirong smiled embarrassedly, and chatted for a while, seeing that it was getting late, and Susu and the others would be worried if they didn't go back, so she got up and said goodbye: "If it's dark, this mountain road is not easy to walk. I should How do I get back to the city?"

"Actually, the way back to the city is easy to identify. There is a small road leading directly to the city after leaving the bamboo forest, and there is no fork in the road. You just need to go straight to the east."

"Thank you very much today, then I'll go first." Jian Lirong walked a few steps back and asked, "Can I come and listen to you play the piano next time?"

"Of course, it's rare to meet a bosom friend, and I really want to hear Li Rong's interesting stories again." Camellia stood by the coffee table with her hands behind her back, smiling very nicely.

"Then talk about it another day."

Follow Camellia's instructions and keep walking eastward. In order to prevent walking and turning back later, I carved a mark of Naruto's Konoha on the trunk of a big tree every time I walked.

The next day, Jian Lirong brought sake and grilled chicken and followed the wooden leaf mark he had carved all the way to Jinseju of Camellia, which shows how wise it was for him to leave a mark.

For Jian Lirong's arrival, Camellia was obviously also very happy.

Camellia’s Jinseju is a dry-stilted wooden house, supported by wooden pillars below the ground, and there is a large deck in front of the house.Jian Lirong liked the deck in front of Jinse Residence very much. She moved a small table and sat cross-legged, eating roast chicken, having a few drinks, and chatting all over the world. It was really pleasant.

This wine is much lower in alcohol than what I drank in Juxianlou and Xuanyuan last time, it's not that strong, it's clear but not strong, mellow but not plump, it's very delicious.It's just that Jian Lirong dipped his chopsticks into the wine in the wine cellar of the General's Mansion and tried for a long time before he chose this delicious one.

Camellia is said to be in poor health, so she seldom travels far away, and her daily hobbies are only reading, practicing calligraphy, painting, and playing the piano.Jian Lirong always felt that Camellia's life was too pure and ascetic, and since she was not a monk, there was absolutely no need to live such a boring life.So he ran to Jinseju every day, listening to Camellia playing the piano, practicing calligraphy and painting with Camellia, sometimes reading books quietly with each other, sometimes dragging Camellia to the forest for a walk, but every time he went for a walk, Camellia would lead him Return to Jinseju.What is noncommittal is that Jinseju in the bamboo forest began to have a lot of laughter and life because of Jian Rongrong's intervention.

There is Go in Camellia's study, and Jian Lirong asks Camellia to teach him to play chess, but after learning for several days, he is still ignorant and defeated repeatedly.It would be great if there were Chinese chess in ancient times, but he is really good at Chinese chess.So the complexity and unpredictability of Go were omitted, and finally changed to playing backgammon. Playing backgammon on the Go board is also a lot of fun.Backgammon is not as complicated as Go, and the rules are easy to understand, and the two of them play it very happily.

Camellia also said that his friend who often comes to Jinseju must introduce him to Jian Lirong next time, saying that the two of them definitely get along very well.

In this way, Jian Lirong, who often runs to Jinseju with food and drink, sometimes stays overnight in Jinseju, lying on the deck with camellias and admiring the moon and counting the stars.Looking at the camellia, Jian Lirong would think of his brother who was still living a good life in the 21st century. His brother was very good to him, and he doted on him as much as Lelouch.And he felt that Camellia made him feel so comfortable, was it because Camellia was willing to let him call him brother?
