Chapter 37 Thirty-fifth festive season with a heart full of love

After making noises in the middle of the night, I was really tired, so I went home to eat and sleep, and slept until twelve o'clock the next day before waking up.After a casual breakfast, he came to Luohua Hutong, stood in the courtyard of Leng's house, and shouted first: "Are there any moon cakes? They are here to eat moon cakes." Mrs. Leng greeted her with a smile and said, "Yes." Yes, yesterday we were waiting for you to eat moon cakes, but you still didn't come after waiting for half the night, I guess you must have gone to the theater." Yanxi said: "It's not that you went to the theater, and I was the host." As he spoke, he walked into the room.Qingqiu lifted the door curtain with one hand, stroked her hair with the other and smiled, "Wow!" Yanxi smiled and said, "Although it's more than one o'clock now, I just woke up not long ago." Qingqiu said: "Yesterday In the evening, I probably had a whole night of fun, so I couldn’t get up this morning.” Yanxi said: “It was late when I came back from the opera, after I came back, I picked up my family and watched the moon until two or three o’clock. Just go to bed." Qingqiu said: "The moon last night was really good, it really made me want to sleep." Yanxi smiled and said: "As far as I guess, the moon tonight is not wrong." Qingqiu said with a smile: "I only heard that the moon is admired on August 15th, but not on August 16th. Even if the moon is good tonight, what does it mean that it has passed its time?" Yanxi said: "Anyway, as long as the moonlight That's all, what day does it matter?" While talking, Mrs. Leng went into the house to prepare fruit.Qingqiu smiled and said: "You tried to say that the moonlight is good tonight, what do you mean?" Yanxi smiled and said: "What else do you ask? You already know, it's not that I want to invite you to enjoy the moon." Qingqiu said: "Yesterday you didn't invite me to enjoy the moon, but today you come to admire the waning moon. I won't do it." Yanxi said, "I came to pay your respects to you during the day yesterday, but you went out again. You wanted to come at night, but you didn't." I can’t go away again. Tonight I invite you to walk under the moon in the park, will you go?” Just as he was saying this, Mrs. Leng just came out.Qingqiu didn't know how to answer, so Mrs. Leng remained silent.Han Ma was busy, and had already set out several plates of fruit.Qingqiu smiled and said: "This is a cliché. If you want to say please, then you will add more vulgarity to the vulgarity. You can eat whatever you like." Yanxi smiled and said: "I'm not welcome, but the Lord does not invite , guests don’t drink.” As he spoke, he picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea.Qingqiu smiled and said: "You still say that the host does not invite and the guests do not drink? Before I finish talking, I drink first." Yanxi also laughed when he thought about it.Mrs. Leng held a hookah and sat on a chair beside her. She saw Yanxi eating candied walnuts with a smile on her face.Qingqiu stood under the small screen, also smiling slightly.Mrs. Leng smoked a hookah slowly, seeing that this pair of teenagers were truly a pair of lovers, and it was also her life's wish to make their marriage a success.Originally, the last time their fifth lady came, there was a chance for this marriage, but once Uncle Qingqiu went to Tianjin, the yamen here taught him to work there, and if he couldn't come back, there was no one for this marriage It's good to come forward.Seeing Mrs. Leng smiling all over her face and only looking at herself, Yanxi felt embarrassed.Yin laughed and said, "I like to eat peanut kernels and walnut kernels. Auntie thinks I eat too much?" Said to Qingqiu: "It's delicious. Give me some more, let me take it home to eat." Qingqiu heard that, turned around and went into the room to get it.Yanxi said: "It's not busy. I won't go home today. I'll live next door. Because I have a friend who plans to move and take over this house. I'll pack up my things quickly and vacate the house. I'm going to take over the house today Pack up these small antiques first, and the heavy furniture will be moved tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Hearing this, Qingqiu felt as if something was on his mind.Yin asked: "Is it true? In the first half of the year, you were in full swing and made it very lively. Now it has disappeared like this in less than a few months. It is really anticlimactic." Yanxi said: "Didn't I say it earlier? I moved back. I only perfunctory the story, while spreading out at home, while still keeping the house here. I also listened to Jin Rong's words, and dismissed all the cooks and servants. There are only two people guarding the house here. It’s inconvenient, and it’s very troublesome to ask for a cup of tea. So I think it’s good to have friends to continue to live. His family’s population is not large, and he can free up a part of the room. If some of our friends are willing to continue to run the poetry club, It’s still possible not to move, and the cost will be much less.” Qingqiu smiled and said: “Your son like Jin Qiye, can you still save a few pennies?” Yanxi smiled and said: “This is scolding me. I'm a person who only spends money and doesn't make money, if I want to be more relaxed, I'd be a little embarrassed." Mrs. Leng interrupted after hearing this.He said with a smile: "People like the family still care about Mr. Jin's money? And you are still studying, so you can't talk about it now." Yanxi said: "It doesn't matter if you make money or not. But too much It’s wasted, I’m afraid I’ll get used to it in the future, and it’s not good if I can’t stop it.” Mrs. Leng was puffing out smoke, nodded her head and said: “That’s right, you don’t care about money, you also cherish blessings.” Qingqiu said with a smile: “ Hey, what's the need for your old man to come up with Yin Zhiwen? Seventh Master is just a few polite words." Mrs. Leng smiled at Yanxi: "Old people always talk superstitiously , don’t laugh at me. Since you don’t have a cook there, you don’t have to be polite, just have a light meal with me in the afternoon.” Yanxi said: “It’s fine, but Auntie must only make some home-cooked food, not too much.” Mrs. Leng laughed and said: "The home-cooked dishes are nothing to eat. Even some special dishes are nothing compared to the dishes at home. So you don't need to make a statement about this level. I'm not being polite, it's really like this "Yanxi said: "If you talk about spending money, it's different for the chef to make it. But those big fish and meat are eaten every day, and people are tired of eating. What they do is their way, and The home-cooked dishes are different, and many seasonings and ajinomoto are added to them, which loses the original taste of the dishes." Mrs. Leng said with a smile: "If you want to eat something else, I'm afraid you can't do it. If you want to eat side dishes, it's time It's not difficult, I can make a few more." Yanxi said: "That's the best." When Mrs. Leng said that, she went to pay Han Guanjiu to buy side dishes.Yanxi smiled and said to Qingqiu: "In this case, I will trouble you again." Qingqiu said with a smile: "Just guess

On the next day, Qingqiu told her mother that she wanted to borrow Yanxi's car to go to Xishan for half a day.Those who went in the same car were two female students from the same class.Mrs. Leng said: "Which people are they?" Qingqiu said: "You don't come to our house very often, you don't recognize it." It's outside the city." Qingqiu said: "Why did you play like that, I will be back at three or four o'clock." Mrs. Leng heard what she said, so she didn't pursue it. At eleven o'clock, Yanxi sent someone to tell Mama Han that the car was ready.When Qingqiu heard about it, she came this way, and when she reached the gate, all the drivers, big and small, had already boarded the car.Yanxi was sitting in the car, seeing her coming, she nodded and greeted her again, and smiled again and again: "Come up, come up." Yanxi opened the car door and let Qingqiu get in the car.As soon as Qingqiu sat down, the horn honked, and the car drove away.Yanxi asked: "Auntie is really open now, and the boundaries between men and women are very light." Qingqiu pursed her lips and smiled: "That's unless you are like this, it is impossible for other people. But openly Speaking of going out to play with you, I was afraid of hitting a wall, I just said to borrow your car." Yanxi laughed and said: "This is a bit forced, and you have nothing serious, where can I borrow my car? Qingqiu said: "This is nothing more than deception, why doesn't she know that we are going out to play together?" Yanxi said: "The old aunt is a kind and caring person, just like my mother. My mother, He is really kind, and you will prove it in the future." Qingqiu was silent when he heard what he said, and just looked out of the car window.Yanxi smiled and took her hand and said, "Why don't you say anything?" Qingqiu frowned and said, "Don't mention this, as soon as you mention it, I'm full of worries." Yanxi said: "What's on your mind? ?" Qingqiu pouted at the driver's seat in front, but remained silent.Yanxi understood, so she didn't say anything.When the car got out of Xizhimen, all the sorghum and wheat had been cut away from the fields near and far. There was a plain with some half-green and half-yellow trees in it. The air was very refreshing.The car was going fast, and the wind was blowing in front of me. People smelled it in their noses, and their spirits were very refreshed.Qingqiu said with a smile: "I haven't been outside the city for a long time, it's very interesting to go out of the city suddenly." Yanxi said: "I asked you to go out of the city a long time ago, but you always refused to come. Now you say you are happy. In the future, I think If it’s all right, wouldn’t it be fun for us to go to Xishan by car to talk about it?” Qingqiu said: “It’s a day to visit Xishan, if you come here all the time, I don’t want to go to school?” Yanxi said: “Let’s decide on a Sunday Come here. Come once a week, do you like it?" Qingqiu said with a smile: "You just wait like this when you do things. It's the first time you come to visit, and you're still on the way, so it's time to talk about the future." Yanxi said "I'm not waiting. I'm talking about what I'm thinking about." Qingqiu said, "That's the only way, when you say something, you forget about it. Don't you think so?" Yanxi smiled and said: " Is there any basis for your statement?" At this time, the car had already arrived at Yuquan Mountain.Qingqiu looked out of the window at a row of ancient houses on the top of the mountain, several floors of small pagodas, coming closer and closer, she was in a daze, but she didn't pay attention to what Yanxi asked her.Yanxi thought it was her words or she was pressing too hard, she couldn't tell why.Therefore, I don't want to talk about it further.The car arrived at Badachu and stopped in an empty field at the foot of the mountain.Yanxi got out of the car, Qingqiu got off, and she gave her a hand.This is the door of Xishan Hotel.Under the terrace outside the door, many teahouses were full of people, more than half of them were foreigners.Although there are still one or two empty seats, Qingqiu dislikes being among foreigners and is unwilling to sit down.Just go ahead.Walking through here, there is an open space with two empty seats, behind the small flower garden, looking at the mountains of Shangbi Cliff.Qingqiu smiled and said: "This is the best place." Yanxi said: "You are always like this, you want to go to a place where no one can reach. It is not convenient to sit here and ask for a cup of tea or a snack." Zhang Teng sat on the chair and said with a smile: "Are you here to see the mountains? Or are you here for tea and snacks? If you come here for the snacks, I won't talk about it. If you talk about seeing the mountains, it's always here Is the place good?" Yanxi said: "I have nothing to do. Since you said it's good here, I'll sit here, and I'll be obedient." Stretching his feet, he said: "Good air, comfortable!" Qingqiu smiled and said: "This is what a rich man said. Look at those sedan chair bearers at the foot of the mountain, they sit here every day for three hundred and sixty days, and it is not likely that he said One word is comfortable. They don’t care about the good air. If they can go into your kitchen and smell the smell of meat, they may say it’s comfortable. Are those places you don’t want to go?” Yanxi said with a smile: "You are very opposed to the bourgeoisie. Let me put it this way, I'll find a petty bastard, and we'll live a poor life together, okay?" Qingqiu pursed her lips and said nothing.Holding a piece of flowered silk handkerchief in his hand, resting his left cheek, he was fascinated by the mountain scenery.Yanxi also followed her gaze, and saw the tall and low pine trees on the mountain, and the green was very old.Half of the leaves of the various fruit trees mixed in the tree were browned, and the wind blew the leaves, rustling.The wind blew past, blowing those yellow leaves, fluttering, one after another, flying around.The grass on the mountain grew two or three feet long on this day.The small tree growing in the grass, just past the top of the grass, turned yellower.Even the grass is swaying here and there, yellow and green.When the sun shines, you will feel that the mountains in the area are more yellow than green.Yanxi smiled and said: "The scenery in autumn is really interesting. But this year's autumn scenery is faster than last year's autumn scenery. What's the matter?" Puchi smiled.Yanxi said: "What are you laughing at?" Qingqiu said with a smile: "You just learned your skills in front of the teacher, and you are about to show off in front of the teacher." Yanxi said: "What are you talking about?" Qingqiu said: " Didn’t I tell you last time? The autumn wind thins out the strangers first. You said that autumn will come faster this year, obviously it’s based on this poem.” Yanxi laughed and said, “No wonder people say I have a new one. Teacher, my knowledge has improved a lot, so now I speak very elegantly. Could it be that I didn’t even know how to speak in front of the teacher before?” Qingqiu was afraid that he might misunderstand, so she quickly laughed and said, “Why are you in such a hurry? I didn’t write that poem. Not only did you not follow his words, but you also followed his words. You also learned the words of the ancients. What has it to do with me? What do you mean by letting people listen?" The waiter in the Xishan Hotel knew Yanxi, so he didn't need Yanxi to pay for it. He had already made a pot of black tea and two plates of snacks. Delivered all the way, put it on the table

At this time, the west wind stopped, but the sound of insects in the tall grass was chirping up and down again.Listening to it made me feel a strange feeling in my heart.In front of them was a locust tree.When the weather is cold, the leaves of the tree wither and turn yellow.All of a sudden, there was a gust of weak westerly wind, which blew off one or two withered yellow leaves on the tree, and just whirled in mid-air, and blew them all the way to the table where they had tea.Qingqiu grabbed a leaf with his hands, held it up to his eyes, and said with a smile: "The air of autumn is really deep, and the leaves are so yellow. If it takes another ten and a half months, and the leaves fall to nothing, it will look even more desolate. Life It’s so easy to live in this situation.” Yanxi laughed and said, “That’s the only reason, so I said that young people should enjoy themselves in a timely manner. But you always disagree with me, thinking that having fun is a depraved behavior in life.” Qingqiu laughed Dao: "The carpe diem you mentioned is different from others. What we think of carpe diem, looking at flowers and moon, traveling in mountains and rivers, are all carpe diem. What you call carpe diem, the more lively the better, whoring, gambling, eating and drinking Wearing it can be found everywhere. It’s carpe diem here, doesn’t it make the people of the world tend to go downhill?” Yanxi said: “However, what I’m talking about caring about is not eating, drinking, whoring, gambling and clothing. Why do you say that I’m also a degenerate? "Qingqiu lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.Yanxi said: "I think you have been poisoned by old books. In some places, you are restraining yourself and looking for trouble." Qingqiu laughed and said: "You are making trouble for no reason. For this matter, how can you involve reading books?" Old books?" Yanxi said, "I think I don't agree with you abiding by the etiquette of Duke Zhou and Confucius like that. I agree with you if you want to do that in general social life. But to me, it's like a gentleman. A little sour." Qingqiu was silent for a while, then said slowly: "It's not that I'm sour. Think about it, the days are long, why should we..." When it came to this point, it paused.Yanxi smiled and said: "Whatever, you can't come up with a reason. Let's go, let's take a walk on this mountain road. If you have something to say, it will be more interesting." Yanxi didn't ask Qingqiu if she agreed , took her flower umbrella, stretched it upwards, and said with a smile: "Go! Go!" Qingqiu stood up holding her skirt, and said with a smile: "Actually, just sit and sit, why go? I'm a little afraid of getting tired. " Yanxi held up an umbrella to block Qingqiu's sunlight, held her arm with her left hand, and said with a smile, "Afraid of being tired? I'll help you." So the two walked side by side under a flower umbrella and walked through the small area. Walking slowly in the flower garden, I walked up a small path at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, although the autumn wind is everywhere and the forest is full of yellow leaves, the wild flowers growing in the mountains, yellow and purple, with small balls of flowers, are also charming and charming.Little grasshoppers and little yellow butterflies in the grass are flying around in the sunlight facing the wind.It seems that there is a kind of fragrance in the grass.Qingqiu said: "Smell, how good is this fragrance? If you build a garden in the city, no matter how well it is built, there is no way to get such a natural scene. You have everything in your house, why not in Xishan Build a villa?" Yanxi said: "Why not? But now it is given to someone." Qingqiu said: "Why build a house and give it to someone else?" Yanxi smiled and said: "I want to say it, but you want to talk about it?" Scolding the bourgeoisie." Qingqiu said with a smile: "You seem to be afraid of scolding, and whenever you discuss any issue, you always block me first." Yanxi laughed: "It's not that you are afraid of scolding, I am very serious Ashamed of being a bourgeoisie." Qingqiu said: "Don't talk about this off-topic question, you should just talk about why you gave the villa away." Yanxi said: "In this mountain, we originally built a villa , although there are not many houses, there are more than 20 rooms, and a courtyard with a flower garden. It is not small on this mountain. But this way, the cost will be high, and two cooks, two servants, and a flower garden will be needed. Er Jiang. The things in the house are often damaged and need to be replaced." Qingqiu said: "That is also the principle of nature, what is the waste?" Yanxi said: "You don't know, when you didn't build a villa in the past, you also said I want to go up the mountain to live for a while, and I also said that I want to go up the mountain to live for a while. Later, there was a villa. Everyone stayed for two days each, and they felt so bored that they stopped coming. Even if I came to Xishan once by chance, I only went to the mountain. I didn’t want to go up the mountain until I was at the Xishan Hotel. Therefore, the villa was placed on the top of the mountain, and a few people from the bottom could enjoy it there. Although it only costs a hundred and ten yuan a month, after three years, it’s almost nothing. Surprisingly, it has been like this for three years. Later, my mother thought about it and said that we were too stupid. It would be better to call some of the underlings back to the city and lock the door. But there is another problem, no one Management, the flowers and trees must be dead and clean, and even the house is easily damaged. In less than a year, the house will collapse. So some people say, sell the house. But selling the house is a matter of decency, if someone else Misunderstood, it is not a joke to say that the Jin family is going to sell the property. So it is very embarrassing. I can’t keep it, and I can’t sell it. Later, there was an American who had a good relationship with my father. Let him live in the villa." Qingqiu said: "This American, he's a fish born of his own birth, he deserves his place. But he can't live on this mountain every day, can he?" Yanxi said: "He is very accurate, every day He goes up the mountain on Saturdays and goes down on Mondays. He doesn’t want to live in vain, he always gives us something every year. Even if the house is broken, he will repair it.” Qingqiu said: “In this way, this house is not like a concession Normally, it is under the control of the Americans for the time being. In terms of property, it belongs to your family." Yanxi said: "That's natural." Qingqiu said: "If you want to take it back, will it be troublesome or not?" Yanxi said: " Surely it won't be troublesome?" Qingqiu said: "If that's the case, I'd like to take it back." Yanxi laughed and said, "Why take it back? Would you like to live on the mountain?" Qingqiu remained silent, just walked forward.Yanxi smiled and said: "Today is Sunday, the Americans must be on the mountain, we will visit him and show you the house, do you like it?" Qingqiu looked at his watch, it was only one o'clock, and asked: " Is the road far away? Isn’t it too late to go down the mountain?” Yanxi said: “There are sedan chairs at the foot of the mountain, we can go there in sedan chairs.” Qingqiu saw a round stone under a pine tree by the roadside, so she sat on the stone with her, counting with her fingers. After a calculation, he said with a smile, "it takes at least three hours to come and go, and it's four o'clock when we go down the mountain." Yanxi said, "it's four o'clock to go home, so there's time." , He also sat down on the stone next to each other.

This place is a small road, and there is no one coming and going, only the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, like heavy rain, rustling past one after another.The grass under the feet is blown by the wind, like waves on the water, falling downwind layer by layer.Qingqiu looked at it, lost his mind.Yanxi saw that she was supporting the stone with one hand, and when she touched it, it was cold.He held it with his hands, and said with a smile: "Don't be dazed, go up the mountain in a sedan chair." Qingqiu turned her head and smiled.Yanxi said: "The weather is not very cold yet, I was very hot when I walked, why do you have cold hands?" Qingqiu said: "It's not because your body is cold that someone helped the stone and let the stone freeze." Yanxi shook hands Holding her hand, I saw that her arm was white and tender, and she was wearing a soft gold bracelet with a thin chain and jade pieces, which was very charming.Then he laughed and said: "You wear this gold bracelet very well. You didn't like gold and jade in the past, and I objected to it. I thought that these gold and jade things would become vulgar on ordinary people, but they would become more vulgar on beauties. It adds a lot of beauty. In this world, who doesn't like men or women? You see, the peacock in the Ten Thousand Animals Garden will open its tail when it sees people wearing silk and satin. You used to oppose the beautiful way , I don’t think so.” Qingqiu said: “I thank you for mentioning this pair of gold bracelets. But I dare not say that it is true in front of my mother, but that it is fake. So for this, I must I don’t wear it when I go out with you. Although I’m not an ordinary person, I don’t dare to ask you to compliment me on my beauty. But you are kind enough to give it to me, and I hope I can wear it. Are you willing to do so? , I’ll do it like this.” Yanxi laughed and said, “Don’t dare, dare not! What you mean is that a scholar should die for his confidant...” Qingqiu said, “What can’t you say? You mean my daughter Do you please yourself? In fact, this is not an insult to women. Even if it is an insult to women, I think it is very equal. There are many men in the world who are allowed to please themselves. You have a lot of contacts. You go to see your girlfriend Do you go without shaving, cutting your hair, or dressing well? This is like a young man. There are many men in ancient and modern times who sacrifice their lives and property for women. I thought that the word for shi should be changed to a word for man. It's more appropriate." Yanxi smiled and said: "I don't have any disagreement with this change. It's just that you said that I have a lot of contacts, and I can't obey your words." Qingqiu smiled and said: "The woman you know Friends, there are ladies, female students, actors, and social stars, don’t they have a lot of contacts?” Yanxi said: “Where did this rumor come from? There is no such thing.” Qingqiu smiled and said: “Don’t worry about it.” If there is, everyone understands it in their hearts."

Yanxi said: "Stop talking, let's go up the mountain for a stroll." After finishing speaking, he ran down the mountain and waved to the waiter.When the waiter came over, Yanxi said, "You hire me two sedan chairs to go to the garden of Jin's family on the mountain." Let’s go back and forth, and we can talk about it later.” It is beneficial for the waiter to hire a sedan chair, and he quickly hired one to carry it to the foot of the mountain.Sitting there alone, Qingqiu also walked down the mountain step by step.Seeing the sedan chair, he couldn't help laughing.It turned out to be two sedan chairs, carrying a small wicker chair.There are several small bamboo poles on the chair, supporting a small blue cloth shed.Under the chair, a small wooden plank was hung, and the rope was tied to the car pole. It looked like it was for stepping on.Qingqiu smiled and said: "Is this how it is? Sit on it, you will fall off." The bearers all said: "It's very stable, it doesn't matter at all. Miss, you sit on it, try it, there must be nothing wrong." Hearing what he said, Yanxi got on the sedan chair first, and said to the bearer, "Lift it up and try it." The two bearers heard that they lifted the sedan chair upside down, and Yanxi stepped on the board with both feet. , stretched.He beckoned to Qingqiu and said, "Sit on it. It's very stable and comfortable." Qingqiu pointed at Yanxi with a smile and said, "If you fall, you have to protect me." Yanxi said, "Sit down." Come on, I'll guarantee your insurance, there's no mistake." Qingqiu had no choice but to sit on it because he had already sat on it.Two sedan chairs went up along the mountain path.This trip, however, occupies an important page in their love history, and it is different from ordinary people traveling in mountains.
