Not climbing the Qingyun Ladder

Chapter 11

So the three of them decided to go to the Qu Shui Shang Banquet held by Liufeng Huixue the next day.

The dinner prepared by Laifu Inn also tastes very good, and they are all local snacks.Especially their osmanthus porridge, the combination of the sweetness of the osmanthus and the mellow aroma of the millet makes people salivate.

There is so much good rice in Bingzhou. Most of the rice used in world-famous restaurants is bought from Bingzhou.

And the millet wine Qian Ying brought after dinner.

"Although our Mianyang millet wine is not as good as Yiling's Qianqiu Zui, it still has a unique flavor. You three guests, please try it." Not only is she very capable, but her voice is also clear and generous.

"Okay, thank you, Sister Ying." Hua Xiangrong said.

"You're welcome." Qian Ying said with a smile.

"Actually, I have something I want to ask you for help with." Qian Ying hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

"What's the matter?" Hua Xiangrong asked.

"You guys are going to the Qushui River Drinking Banquet tomorrow, can you give me something?" Qian Ying said.

"How did you know we were going to the Qushui River Drinking Banquet?" Pei Jin asked before Hua Xiangrong could answer.

"I know you are monks, and the red plum painting on this young master's hand is very similar to the work of Master Wu Su. I mentioned the Qushui Shang Banquet, and you will definitely be interested." Qian Ying replied.

"The boss lady is really well-informed, I admire her." Su Budu looked at the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile.

"Sister Ying, what do you want us to give? To whom?" Hua Xiangrong asked.

Qian Ying's face turned red. She hesitated for a moment and took out a purse.The purse looks very delicate, and you can tell that it took a lot of effort to embroider it.

The pattern embroidered on it is different from ordinary purses.It is a river, and there are two people at the head of the river and the tail of the river.

I live at the head of the Yangtze River, and you live at the end of the Yangtze River.

"I only hope that your heart will be like mine, and I will live up to my love for you." Su Budu said softly.

Qian Ying's face turned even redder, and she looked completely different from the capable one during the day. Instead, she looked like a shy girl, adding a bit more color under the lamp.

"Sister Ying, why don't you give it to him yourself?" Hua Xiangrong asked.

"First of all, I can't go to the Qushui Drinking Banquet, and secondly..." She couldn't continue and just stood there wringing her handkerchief.

"Secondly, the boss's wife is naturally shy. I want the girl to understand her feelings." Su Budu answered.

shy?Hua Xiangrong looked at Qian Ying clenching the handkerchief with her fingers, feeling a little puzzled.Isn't it just a gift?
"I wonder who the boss lady wants us to give this purse to?" Pei Jin asked.

"Master Wu Su's disciple, Mr. Li Mu." Qian Ying said.

disciple?Wu Su actually accepted a disciple?Hua Xiangrong was a little surprised.But it’s normal to think about it. After all, 100 years have passed, and many people and things will have changed.

"It turns out to be Mr. Li Mu. I have the honor to meet him once. He is a talented person and knowledgeable. He and the landlady are a match made in heaven." Su Budu said.

"This young master is really good at talking. I don't know what to call him?" Qian Ying covered her lips and smiled.

"My surname is Su, Su Budu."

"It turned out to be Young Master Su."

Her eyes looked at Pei Jin again: "I wonder if this young master is that young hero?"

"Young hero, I don't dare to take this position. I am Pei Jin, a monk from the Canglan Sect." Pei Jin replied.

This man wished that everyone he met would know that he was a monk from the Canglan Sect.Hua Xiangrong secretly cursed.

"Canglan Sect? That's a big sect of cultivation. I'm disrespectful." Qian Ying said.

"Sister Ying, you are so kind to us, I will definitely help you with this." Hua Xiangrong took the purse from her hand and said with a smile.

As soon as the purse was in hand, the smile in Hua Xiangrong's eyes deepened: "The silk thread used in this purse is also very special. Sister Ying must have spent a lot of effort to find this kind of silk thread."

Qian Ying shook her head and said, "No. This is silk thread from the Western Sea, which is stronger than those from other places."

"I see, the boss lady is interested." Su Budu said, waving his fan.

"This purse seems to still have a fragrance." Pei Jin said.

"Mr. Pei is right. I did add spices that can help him sleep and calm his mind. He usually paints for several hours or even a whole day, so I thought of putting some spices in it that can help him rest. ." Qian Ying said with some embarrassment.

"The lady boss has such good intentions, Mr. Li will definitely feel your thoughts." Su Budu said with a smile.

"I hope so. I'll leave first, and let the three of you have a good rest." After Qian Ying finished speaking, she turned and left.

Hua Xiangrong looked at the purse in her hand, weighed it gently, and said to Pei Jin and Su Budu: "It's already late at night, I'll go to bed first. See you two in the morning."

"Girl, if you want to expose yourself more deeply, be more careful." Su Budu said.

"Don't worry, I'm measured." After Hua Xiangrong finished speaking, she returned to her room.

Early the next morning, she came out of the room.After going downstairs, I found that Su Budu and Pei Jin hadn't come out yet.

"Miss Xiangrong, it's so early." Qian Ying came up and said.

"Good morning, Sister Ying." Hua Xiangrong said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Sister Ying, I will definitely deliver your purse to you."

"Thank you so much, girl." Qian Ying said.

While the two were talking, Su Budu and Pei Jin also came down one after another.Their attire was the same as yesterday, and Su Budu still held the folding fan with the red plum pattern on it.

"Since you are here too, let's go." Hua Xiangrong said to the two of them.

"Don't you three need to go earlier?" Qian Ying asked.

"No need, since it's a meandering wine banquet organized by Master Wu Su, there must be a lot of delicious food. Let's go there to eat." Pei Jin said. "Madam boss, just wait for our good news." Su Budu said with a smile.

After the three people left Laifu Inn, they followed the path pointed by Qian Ying to Wu Su's Liufeng Huixue.

"I hope Li Mu won't mess things up," someone said.His whole body was shrouded in shadow and his face could not be seen clearly.

"He won't, I believe him." Qian Ying said with a smile without looking back.

"This is not something you can say." The man said lightly.

"Is Pei Jin really a disciple of the Canglan Sect?" Qian Ying did not answer his words and changed the topic.

"No." The person behind said.

"Then he is really brave enough to cheat in the name of your Canglan Sect."

"This is not something you and I should worry about."

"What about Hua Xiangrong? Why does it have to be her?" Qian Ying asked again.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. If you know too much, your life will be in danger." His tone was still calm, but the warning was obvious.

After arriving at Liufenghuixue, the three of them were briefly stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of them.

There are small bridges and flowing water, carved beams and painted buildings, begonias and chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and the sound of piano can be faintly heard from inside. It is a good place for seclusion.

"Three guests, please present the crabapple flower stickers." The doorman at the door said.

"The three of us are your husband's friends. We came to visit in a hurry and didn't have any flower cards." Su Budu said.

"You can't go in without a flower sticker." The doorman's voice was clear and firm.

"Little brother, please tell Mr. Wu Su that Su Budu is here to visit again, and he will let us in." Su Budu said with a smile.

"Sir is playing the piano and has no time to pay attention to you. You can't go in without a flower post." The doorman said businesslikely.

Just when there was a stalemate, a clear male voice suddenly came: "What's going on?"

The three of them looked back, and Su Budu showed a surprise smile on his face: "It turns out to be Mr. Li Mu."

"This is...Brother Su! Why are you here in Mianyang?" Li Mu stepped forward and recognized Su Budu.

"I went to Cangzhou to do something, and I was planning to go to Yunzhou. I happened to be passing by Bingzhou, and I wanted to come to Mianyang to see you." Su Budu said.

"That's it." Li Mu nodded.

He turned around and said to the doorman: "Brother Su is a friend of Master. The red plum picture on his fan is Master's calligraphy. You don't have to ask him for a flower post."

The doorman obviously respected Li Mu very much: "I know, senior brother. Please come in, three of you."

He let Hua Xiangrong and his party go in.

"Brother Su, I wonder who these two are?" Li Mu turned his eyes to Pei Jin and Hua Xiangrong.

"They are my friends." Su Budu said.

"I am Pei Jin, a disciple of the Canglan Sect."

"The little girl Hua Xiangrong is from Cangzhou."

Their presentations all fit their own style.

"It turns out to be Mr. Pei and Miss Hua." A warm smile appeared on Li Mu's face.

His eyes stayed on Pei Jin for a while, thinking that his identity as a disciple of the Canglan Sect would indeed attract many people's attention.

"My master held a melodious wine banquet today and invited literati to appreciate the paintings. He is playing the piano in the attic now and will not come out for a while. He asked me to take charge of entertaining the guests." Li Mu said.

"That's it. Brother Li has worked really hard." Su Budu said sincerely.

"You guys can move around as you please, but I'll excuse you for now." After speaking, Li Mu turned around to leave.

"Master Li, wait a minute." Hua Xiangrong stopped him.

"Miss Hua, is there anything else?" Li Mu asked.

"Someone asked me to give Mr. Li something." Hua Xiangrong said.

"what?"

Hua Xiangrong took out the purse and said, "This is what Miss Qian Ying of Laifu Inn asked me to give to you."

Li Mu took the purse and said, "Miss Qian Ying is interested."

"Brother Li, this girl Qian Ying is only thinking about her wallet, so you don't have anything to say to her?" Su Budu asked.

"When will this water stop, and this hatred stop. Of course I know her thoughts, but..." Li Mu sighed lightly and did not say any more.

"Senior brother, senior brother..." Someone happened to call him, and Li Mu left quickly.

Hua Xiangrong looked at his back and smiled.

"Let's go and see the paintings." She said to Su Budu and Pei Jin.

It has to be said that Wu Su did come up with a lot of good things when he held the Qushui Drinking Banquet this time.

The three of them looked at it one by one, feeling that it was a feast for their eyes.

Soon after, the music stopped, and a man slowly came down from the attic. Next to him stood Li Mu.

It's Wu Su.We haven’t seen each other for a hundred years, Hua Xiangrong thought to herself.
