Inkstone New Tea
Chapter 5
Sleeping a little weakly, Gu Xiyan stood up and walked under the tea tree, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the tea tree leaves: "You are recovering well, Ah Qi is joking, but I think you are really spiritual, I just don’t know if you can spit out the buds of this year’s new tea.”
She whispered alone, showing a soft smile. The warm spring sun fell on her body, adding a bit of softness to her slightly cold white clothes, and even her hair was full of the softness of the sun. fairy.
But compared to the fairy in Ye Qinming's memory, she is more gentle and less arrogant, very similar to... Ye Qinming is inexplicably agitated, but she can't tell who she looks like, she seems to have forgotten something.
She was imprisoned for thousands of years in Shenyuan, the demon lock in the northern wilderness, and was tortured by fire and thunder for thousands of years. During this period, she couldn't remember some things clearly.But she always remembered that she was the master of the demon world. She was cheated into heaven for some reason, was besieged by that hypocrite Tai Yi, and was finally injured by the god Zhuoqing of the heaven world at that time. Inexplicably imprisoned in the lock demon Shen Yuan.
She has no memory of it at all. She still remembers that she has dominated the demon world for nearly 500 years. She is a rare opponent in the three realms. Even the little boy Taiyi can't beat her. to such an extent.Those gods in the heavens didn't have any good things, but she somehow couldn't remember the god who caused her to fall to this point. It was said that she was a woman, but she didn't remember what she looked like at all.
Ye Qinming has always been puzzled by this point. According to her character of vengeance, how could she not even remember her opponent clearly, but in the end she could only attribute it to her memory when she was imprisoned in the lock demon Shenyuan after the war lost.
Ye Qinming has been absorbing the essence of the tea trees in the tea garden. She has become an elite tea tree and has nothing to communicate with these stupid woods. The only thing that can make her not so boring is to watch Gu Xiyan repair the tea garden, or cook tea and play the piano in the tea pavilion. Very elegant.And the tea she brewed was really fragrant, even a tea tree-built monster like her couldn't help but want to taste it.
As the days passed, Gu Xiyan found that the tea garden was not in good condition recently. The first batch of new tea that was originally expected to germinate in mid-March was still in the bud state, which was half a month later than in previous years.And according to this year's rain and sun exposure, it shouldn't be like this at all.
If the tea cannot be harvested on time, then when the season comes, the tea merchants that the Gu family cooperates with will not receive the tea, which will directly affect their reputation, and the tea that was originally intended to be shipped to other regions will also be delayed.Speed is the most important thing in a soldier, and the priority is also in doing business. Gu Xiyan was also a little puzzled. This day, he went to the tea garden again after breakfast with Gu Ye and his wife.
Gu Xiyan selected four tea trees in the tea garden and carefully touched the spores. Sure enough, as the tea farmers said, although none of them sprouted, the growth of the tea trees in the northwest corner was much better than that of the tea pavilion in the southeast.
Not only did the tea trees around the tea pavilion not sprout, Gu Xiyan carefully twisted them with his fingers, and felt that the leaves were a little thin, and even a little wilted.
She straightened up and lowered her head to think, Ah Qi saw what she was thinking and didn't bother her, just expecting her to find something.
Gu Xiyan is actually just a little strange, this is the first time she has encountered this kind of situation, if the tea tree is sick, it is normal, but it has neither fallen leaves nor curled, even if it does not sprout buds, it is the first time she has encountered it.
If the tea leaves do not spit out buds, it means that the nutrition is not enough, but just after topdressing, the amount of sunshine and water is very suitable, there is really no reason.
Then she suddenly thought of the tea tree she preferred. She walked up to the tea tree, reached out and touched it, and it was true.
"Miss, is there something wrong with this tea tree? It hasn't grown as well as before, and the leaves are a little yellow."
Just because they found that the tea tree was also slightly yellow and had no buds, they didn't think much about it.But when Gu Xiyan touched it, he found that it was different from the surrounding tea trees. Although Ah Qi said that it was a little yellow, the mesophyll still grew very well, much better than the surrounding tea trees.
"It's okay, arrange for them to fertilize again. Remember to start with a small amount. If there is still this plant, there is no need. Just give some water."
"Yes."
Although missing the picking time of the new tea will cause losses to the tea garden, it will not have a big impact on the Gu family. As long as the tea can be produced well, the Gu family's tea-making skills and reputation will not be too severe. I am afraid that a piece of tea garden will be destroyed for no reason. .
After Ah Qi left, Gu Xiyan squatted down and said softly to the tea tree: "Although I can't be sure, but I always feel that this matter has something to do with you. Now that the tea is sprouting, can you let them grow well for a while, if you really have aura, You should be able to understand me."
Gu Xiyan has always believed in the theory of ghosts and gods, and there are also people who practice in this world. It is only after a long time of turmoil that the world has settled down, so many hermits have not come out of the mountain.Therefore, she was very calm about the inexplicable tea tree that appeared, and she didn't think too much even after she noticed a little weirdness.This intuition made her unable to describe it, perhaps as she said at the time, this tea was destined for her.
The tea tree stood there quietly, as if it were an ordinary green plant. Gu Xiyan didn't say much, and sat in the tea pavilion for a while before returning home.
It will be Gu Xiyan's birthday in a few days, and the butler of the Gu family has been preparing for it early in the morning.It's just that Gu Xiyan likes to be quiet and doesn't like these things, so she doesn't make much publicity.Moreover, the atmosphere in the mansion was not right, Gu Ye and his wife Xie Wan were rather worried.
Gu Xiyan accompanied the two of them for dinner that night, and Gu Ye, who used to talk about business with him, didn't say a word abnormally, and Xie Wan, who always couldn't help but give Gu Xiyan dishes to persuade her to eat more, had little to say when eating. .After taking a few mouthfuls, Gu Xiyan put down the bowl and chopsticks and said softly: "Father and mother have something on their minds, something is wrong today."
Gu Ye and Xie Wan looked at each other with unresolved melancholy in their eyes.After a while, Gu Ye opened his mouth: "Did you take Yan'er's jade pendant with you?"
Gu Xiyan paused, then nodded: "Remember what parents told you, never take it off." As he spoke, Gu Xiyan stretched out his hand and pulled out a red rope from his neck.
Hanging on the red string is a jade pendant, on which is carved a Buddha statue, but the jade is black, but the eyes of the Buddha statue on it are red, making the appearance that should have been merciful become a bit hideous.
Gu Ye's complexion changed, his eyes widened to look at the Buddha statue, Xie Wan also had a look of panic: "Yan'er, what's wrong with this jade recently?"
Gu Xiyan frowned slightly, she faintly felt the uneasiness of her parents, and her breath changed. Hearing that they talked about jade, she immediately had some guesses in her heart: "I never, father, mother, but what has changed about jade? Since I can remember This jade is worn on my body, and you have repeatedly told me not to take it off, is there some reason? Besides, Ah Qi and the others said that you have been in a bad mood recently."
Gu Ye was a little hesitant, he turned his head and looked at Xie Wan, Xie Wan sighed: "The inkstone will be full tomorrow, it's time to tell her so that she can protect herself more."
Gu Ye let out a long sigh, and told Gu Xiyan the hidden worry that had been in his heart for 18 years.Back then, when Gu Xiyan uttered a vision from the sky, it attracted the attention of countless people and made the husband and wife very happy.
It's just that after Gu Xiyan was born, he met a Taoist in a blue robe. At that time, Gu Ye was asking people to hand out money at the door of Gu's house, but the Taoist didn't accept the reward, but asked to meet Gu Ye.
Although the Taoist's clothes are old, he has an extraordinary bearing. Although his hair is already graying, his eyes seem to be able to read people's hearts.The servants of the Gu family were very discerning, and immediately reported to Gu Ye.
The Taoist said bluntly: "Wandering around in the world, I saw a vision in your mansion when I passed by Danyang. It turned out that the master's family was happy to win a daughter. I made a guess just now. This woman is unspeakably expensive, the son of an extraordinary world, but unfortunately she can't bear this opportunity. Luck, if left unchecked, it may be difficult to survive. People who practice Taoism talk about fate, and it is also fate. There is a jade here, which can keep her worry-free for eighteen years. However, I would like to advise you two, this woman I have a shallow relationship with the two of you, if the relationship comes, you will be safe, and if the relationship is exhausted, don't force it."
At that time, Gu Ye and his wife were originally happy, but when this Taoist said, it was as if they had been poured cold water.Xie Wan couldn't bear it at the time and wanted to have a fit, but the Taoist just handed them the jade and left in a hurry.At that time, the surrounding area was lively and noisy, and the Taoist who appeared suddenly disappeared from the eyes of the two of them, which made their faces turn pale.
Although the two of them refused to believe it, but before the full moon, Gu Xiyan had been depressed and sick. After bringing her jade, she got better day by day, so they had to believe it.
These years, the two buried the past very deeply and never mentioned it to others. They also knew that their child was not an ordinary person, but they still hoped that she could live a stable life like ordinary people, so they still worried about her. I wish her a safe marriage.
It's just that seeing the birthday approaching, the two became more and more anxious, and now seeing the changes in this jade, they feel even more powerless.Gu Ye just told her that Yubian couldn't protect her after the Taoist mentioned her, but Gu Ye, who was the most distressing thing about the Taoist, didn't say anything about it.
The behavior of that Taoist at that time seemed to be an expert in the world. He also said that Gu Xiyan was an extraordinary person. Although he was surprised at the beginning, he kept a little luck after all. Maybe it was not as weird and serious as he said.But when Gu Xiyan was very sick when he was young, and now that he is about to turn eighteen, the jade has changed, they couldn't help but believe it.
Gu Xiyan didn't speak for a long time after hearing this, and Gu Ye and his wife looked at her worriedly, fearing that she would not be able to bear it for a while.
In fact, Gu Xiyan was not surprised by this news. She has been different from ordinary people since she was a child. Although she is blind, she can perceive things that ordinary people cannot see.But as she grew up, she became more and more calm, and those were far away from her.
It's just that she feels a little ashamed of Gu Ye and his wife. They only have her daughter, but she has made them worry too much. She can face this matter calmly, but it may be a heavy burden and worry for them.
"Yan'er, don't worry. I have sent a letter to an old man who practiced Taoism in Dongzhou before, asking him to come and stay for a while. I'll take you to Dongzhou." Gu Ye said it very reluctantly, his voice trembling a little.All the longings and expectations before were completely shattered after seeing the jade turn from black to red. He really wanted Gu Xiyan to be by their side all the time, and to find a loved one under their protection for a safe life.
Seeing that his eyes were red, Xie Wan couldn't help but shed tears.When Gu Xiyan heard Gu Ye's choked voice, she felt a little sore in her heart. She stood up and found a seat for the two of them, squatted down in front of Xie Wan, and reached out to hold her hand: "Father, mother, I am honored to be your son in this life." Daughter, I have been cared for by both of you since I was a child. I am really lucky. You know my temperament, and there are definite rules for everything in the world. I am worried, but if Fanxi inkstone is alive, it will be a day of filial piety in front of parents."
Gu Ye and Xie Wan felt very heartbroken and heartbroken. Xie Wan stroked her head: "My parents are very happy. Although my Yaner can't see her, she has never made us worry too much. She is helping you at such a young age." Dad takes care of business, we are proud of you. Mom and dad want nothing but you to be safe."
She whispered alone, showing a soft smile. The warm spring sun fell on her body, adding a bit of softness to her slightly cold white clothes, and even her hair was full of the softness of the sun. fairy.
