Flowing Years

Bai Zezhi lay down all the way, didn't rest, just washed his face and walked out of the room.Walking through the [-]-fold corridor, the waiter in the shop led him into the private seat.

"Guest officer, would you like some soft food to fill up?" Xiaoer only put a few cold appetizers on the table, and the wine pot was placed on the small stove to warm slightly. Seeing that there were still a few guests who hadn't arrived yet, he asked last sentence.

"It's okay." Bai Zezhi waved his hands, sat down by himself, and looked out the window.

"Okay, if the guest officer has an order, just call out." Xiao Er closed the door and left.

Below the window is the bustling street.Bai Zezhi could tell how lively it was just by hearing the voice.The high and low eaves in the distance, the sun has set, and the aftertaste has receded for the most part.Lanterns have been lit on this side of the street, and they are lined up in a string in the dim yellow, adding a bit of excitement.And there is still some aftertaste left in the distance, and a few dots of light smoke and yellow mist rise up.

Bai Zezhi poured a glass of wine from the jug, put it under his nose and shook it.The mellow aroma of wine floats into the nostrils, seeming thick or light, distant or near in the night wind.Bai Zezhi narrowed his eyes and smiled contentedly.

Bai Zezhi stood up holding the cup, propped his elbows on the window rail, and looked down the window lazily.

Below is a stall with sugar figurines, and an old man with gray hair is immersed in drawing a deer.

Bai Zezhi tilted his face, smiled slightly, and looked down.

"Daddy, I want a sugar figurine." A child with a soaring bun pointed at the old sugar figurine.

"Okay," the father, who was wearing a blue Confucian uniform while holding the child, nodded, "What design should Chi'er choose?"

The juvenile struggled to get off the ground, but his father carefully let him down.Zhi'er tilted his face, bit his lips with a finger, and stared at the sugar figurines in a row.

"Do you like it?" The old man looked at the juvenile in front of him over and over again, then smiled, "If you don't like it, grandpa can help you redraw one."

The child raised his head and looked up at his father, then smiled and said to the old man, "Grandpa, I want Malaysia!"

"Okay! Good!" The old man looked at the child and nodded and smiled, "Grandpa, draw a majestic horse!" The old man reached out and scooped up half a spoonful of red-brown syrup, and poured it on the board in a few strokes to create a running horse. The big horse, with flying mane and windy hooves, is lifelike.The old man took a bamboo stick and pressed it, shoveled the sugar figurine, and handed it to the child.

The child's father took out a copper coin and handed it to the old man, nodding his head slightly as a thank you.

The old man waved his hand, looked at the child and smiled with satisfaction.

Zhi'er held the sugar figurine, and the big horse sugar figurine turned around happily and walked forward: "Oh~ the horse runs away! The horse runs away!" Zhi'er walked with a swaying figure, and his father carefully guarded him behind him.

Only then did the old man realize that there was something wrong with the child's legs, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's a pity that such a cute child has grown up.

Bai Zezhi's smile also disappeared, looking at the innocent child downstairs, there was still that immature voice in his ears.

Upstairs diagonally opposite, a man in a night blue robe was also quietly watching this scene.Thinking of the glimpse of the vast wasteland, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, and he put down the wine glass in his hand.

"Leave it." The man stood up and walked out of the private room.

"Yes." The attendant at the side nodded with his head buried, his eyes swept over the leftovers on the table, thinking that he probably didn't need to prepare any snacks for the evening.

"Bai...Brother..." Mu Lan ran in and almost called out "General Bai".

"Yo," Bai Zezhi was delighted when he heard the title, turned around and said, "Brother Amu~"

Mu Lan ran to Bai Zezhi, saw the wine glass in his hand, and frowned: "Brother Bai, master said you can't drink alcohol."

"When did you see me drinking?" Bai Zezhi raised his eyebrows.

"You..." Mu Lan stared at him, her mouth twitched.

Bai Zezhi looked amused at his serious face, and blew on him: "How? Have I been drinking?"

Mu Lan blinked her eyes as the faint fragrance came, "Oh, I didn't drink it."

"Yes," Bai Zezhi smiled lightly, "I just smell it."

"Then what are you looking at?" Mu Lan stood beside Bai Zezhi, grabbed the window rail and looked down.

"Be a sugar figure." Bai Zezhi gestured to Mu Lan with his eyes, "Does Amu want to eat?"

Mu Lan saw the sugar figurine booth below at a glance, her eyebrows just raised, then fell down again, and said in a low voice, "I don't want to eat..."

Bai Zezhi smiled lightly, and reached out to touch Mu Lan's head: "It's okay to eat less, just rinse your mouth with water immediately after eating."

Mu Lan's eyes lit up: "Yes!"

Bai Zezhi looked at Mu Lan and smiled: "Go and buy some food after dinner."

Mu Lan nodded happily.

After Bai Zezhi looked at the door, he said, "Where's your master?"

"Master, I'm looking for Master Lan...Master Lan." Mu Lan paused, he could call Bai Zezhi brother, but he couldn't call a prince brother brother.

Bai Zezhi smiled: "It was the time when you and I were together..."

At this time, Lan Yu and Bo Yan just arrived at the door.Lan Yu paused, and Bo Yan raised his eyes.

"Hurry up and serve the food." Lan Yu said to the waiter at the door, "Prepare a meal and call a more meticulous girl to deliver it to the repairing bamboo room." The repairing bamboo room is Luo Anchang's room.

Bo Yan went to the window and sat down.

"Master~" Mu Lan ran to Bo Yan's side.

Lan Yu watched Mu Lan take her seat, raised her eyebrows, and sat down by the window.

Bai Zezhi swept his eyes, smiled slightly, and sat down opposite Bo Yan, by the window.Bai Zezhi put the wine glass aside, reached for the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and took a sip.

Bo Yan looked at the wine glass that Bai Zezhi put down casually after taking his seat, and frowned, before Mu Lan spoke for Bai Zezhi.

"Master, Brother Bai didn't drink, so he just smelled it to relieve his hunger." Mu Lan put the glass on Bo Yan's behalf and poured a glass of wine.

Bo Yan looked up at Bai Zezhi, stretched out his hand to squeeze the cup and took a sip.

Bai Zezhi stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of sauce-flavored beef, and didn't look at him drinking, he just said: "You don't drink in front of me with your small amount of alcohol. Be careful not to arouse my glutton, but to increase someone's interest. "

Even Bo Yan Wannian's cold face also flushed slightly.Bo Yan gave Bai Zezhi a look, and drank the wine in his glass: "Hmph!"

Lan Yu was overjoyed when he saw this, and reached out to pat Bo Yan's arm, but found that Mu Lan was separated, and he couldn't move freely, so he had to put pork meat and lotus flower on Bo Yan's plate.

"I don't like this!" Bai Zezhi raised his eyebrows, looked at Lan Yu's chopsticks and said, "Will Mu Lan and I have a good meal with you like this!"

"Come to Mulan," Lan Yu glanced at Bai Zezhi, and said to Mu Lan, "Your little brother Bai thinks it's too deserted, so you can offer some tea and some vegetables to your little brother Bai."

"Huh?" Mu Lan was puzzled, still chewing on a piece of beef brisket, "Brother Bai can't reach it? I can even reach it." Mu Lan stretched out her hand, and then looked at Bai Zezhi's arm.

Bai Zezhi: "..."

"The ones who came out of the valley are all so pure." Bai Zezhi looked at Mu Lan and smiled.

Mu Lan raised her head to take a look, then buried her head in her meat and ate it again.Chunliang praised him, so he ate the food with humble eyebrows.

Xiao Er pushed the door open and came in, and the people behind served several hot dishes.

"Xiaoer, let's have two main dishes first, your specialty." Bai Zezhi said.

"Okay." Xiao Er exited the room.After a while, two bowls of mutton soup cakes were served, and the thick green coriander in the soup added a bit of freshness.

"Amu, hurry up and eat, and go shopping in the street after eating." Bai Zezhi said to Mu Lan while picking up a piece of soup cake into his mouth.

"Oh!" Mu Lan nodded happily, took a bowl as well, picked up some vegetables, and started to eat with soup cakes.
