Liu Mingzhi was a little embarrassed when he heard Qi Ya's teasing, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Intuitively speaking, he doesn't really feel close to his grandfather.
After all, I haven't even met him in person, so if he got close to me, it would be a ghost.
But there was nothing Liu Mingzhi could do. He didn't go to Donghai to visit his family this year and couldn't see his grandfather at all.
"Sister, forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Since the house is compensated to you, it is your home and it is up to you. Why do you want to replace it with a plaque without words?"
"Why don't we use a plaque without words? Lu's Mansion? Or Qi's Mansion? Or maybe the three words "Sangmenxing"?
"That's true!"
Liu Mingzhi suddenly realized that he had chatted to death. Qi Ya must have had her own thoughts on why she had to mention these past events.
"Wait a minute, I'll turn on the lights in the courtyard. It's too dark and really depressing."
"Ah? You can go alone. Are there no servants in the house?"
Only then did Liu Mingzhi realize that apart from himself and Qi Ya, there was no one in the house, not even a maid or servant.
No wonder it looks so desolate and deserted.
"Who dares to serve a mourning star? In fact, it's good to be free and unfettered. If you get tired of it, you can go back to your father's house for a while and come back when you want. It's inconvenient to have a servant here."
"Aren't you scared? This huge house is deserted. Don't you think it's too desolate to live alone? It's not popular at all."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the empty house and couldn't imagine what it would be like to live alone in such a place.
If you put it on yourself, sooner or later you will become mentally depressed and go crazy.
Qi Ya looked a little sad: "I'm afraid, how can I not be afraid, but what can I do if I'm afraid, I still have to live with it, but now I'm slowly getting used to it, and I don't think it's a big deal anymore. As long as your heart is magnanimous, it's not the pure land of the world!"
"
"You live an open-minded life."
"It's just that I have no choice but to be open-minded. How can I not be open-minded?"
Qi Ya smiled to herself.
"It's better for me to hold the lamp, and you tell me the place!"
"That's fine!"
Qi Ya did not politely reject Liu Mingzhi's suggestion, but directly led Liu Mingzhi to wander around.
Liu Mingzhi held up the bamboo pole in his hand and hung the lanterns one by one under the eaves. After just a cup of tea, the courtyard became brighter.
Without that eerie feeling, it is no different from a normal person's yard.
"Wipe the sweat!"
"Thanks."
Looking at the handkerchief Qi Ya handed over, Liu Mingzhi did not hesitate and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Dozens of lanterns were not an easy project.
Liu Mingzhi was stunned as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
I don't know when, the cold and desolate courtyard became bright and bright.
Not only is it bright, it is simply beautiful, as if it is a fairyland on earth, which makes people fascinated.
Previously, it felt like the gloomy gauze was falling from the sky to earth like a series of galaxies under the light of the lights.
Liu Mingzhi also saw the rustling things in their true form in Lushan. They turned out to be light gauze surrounded by many slowly rotating windmills, colorful and dizzying.
Under the four or five osmanthus trees in the courtyard, there are paper cranes flying gently everywhere. It is a perfect match with the gauze to set off each other.
It turns out that Qi Ya really didn't lie, and the house in front of her was indeed refreshing.
It's just that it seems unlucky to plant this sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the courtyard.
Liu Mingzhi didn't care much. Although he scorned some things after experiencing all kinds of things in later generations, the ancients planted osmanthus at home, which meant an ominous sign.
There is a osmanthus tree in the house, and there are ghosts outside the courtyard.
"Sister, this sweet-scented osmanthus is planted at home."
"What else is there to be afraid of in Sangmen Star?"
Qi Ya naturally knew the taboo of growing sweet-scented osmanthus at home, but she turned around and left without caring.
She seemed to have really reached the point where her heart was at peace, and she didn't care about anything as long as she lived a comfortable life.
Liu Mingzhi followed him wordlessly. Qi Ya's indifferent mood was more modern than his own. Sometimes when facing Qi Ya, he couldn't help but doubt whether he was from a later generation or whether Qi Ya was from a later generation.
of.
I really can't keep up with the rhythm.
"You sit down for a while, I'll get some medicinal wine."
"good!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the ordinary carpet in the pavilion and knelt down gently. There was not even a stone table or bench. It was really eclectic.
There is a low-looking wooden table on the carpet. On the wooden table is a fine incense burner, and next to it is an object covered with silk cloth.
Liu Mingzhi looked at its appearance and thought it was either a guzheng or a musical instrument like the guqin.
"This is how people live. They don't have to work hard, they only play the piano, and they have no worries about food and clothing. I call you pitiful, but you live a life that countless people yearn for."
She has a house of her own, and her father is an official in the court. The food she eats does not cost much money at all. It is not an exaggeration to say that she has no worries about food and clothing. She does not need a husband to teach her children. When she is free, she goes out to play with paper kites and goes for an outing. When she is tired, she comes back.
Sit on the floor and make a cup of fragrant tea.
Look lightly at the flowers blooming and falling, smile at the clouds rolling in and relaxing.
Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly. He was obviously the best among others, but why did he fall behind compared with Zhu Run and Qi Ya?
Eating, drinking, waiting to die, and having a group of wives and concubines is the life I want to live, but when did I become so hardworking?
This is completely contrary to my ambition.
I have to get up at four o'clock every day to prepare for court, and I can't go home until noon. I also have to deal with the calculations among my colleagues. It's very tiring no matter how you look at it.
"This is not the way I want to live. How could I live like this?"
Liu Mingzhi pulled his hair and was speechless. The expectations and plans were perfect, but which link went wrong?
"Awaited!"
Liu Mingzhi came back to his senses and saw Qi Ya walking over with a large tray, with bright candles burning on it, which immediately illuminated the pavilion. Only then did Liu Mingzhi realize that the pavilion was also surrounded by veils.
, but it is so thin that it is almost unnoticeable.
Qi Ya lay down gently on the carpet: "There are no outsiders, so don't put on airs. Aren't you tired of living? Wherever it hurts, I will give you medicine."
When Qi Ya opened her mouth, Liu Mingzhi became even more confused. Yes, how could he be so tired from living?
The bird was shocked.
"Where does it hurt?"
"The corners of the mouth, the corners of the eyes!"
Qi Ya took out a thin stick that was used to hold silk and dipped it in some medicinal wine: "Don't you feel any pain?"
The corners of Liu Mingzhi's mouth twitched. Sister, if you say this, you can't continue the conversation.
Don’t you know that people can’t tear themselves apart even when they are in difficulty? Where can I get the gift from the book as promised? Your words are really good for hurting people’s hearts!
Qi Ya applied the medicinal wine on Liu Mingzhi's wound. Seeing his pain, his expression changed and she became cautious.
The burning pain at first gradually became cooler, and Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief. The medicinal wine was quite strong. Apart from the cool feeling, he didn't feel any pain at all.

There was a crack of thunder, and then lightning lit up the dark night.
Both of them were startled, and Qi Ya even touched the wound with a trembling hand, causing Young Master Liu to cry out in pain.
After the pain gradually disappeared, Liu Mingzhi looked up at the moonless night sky and remembered what Qi Ya had said before: "The weather is really going to change. It looks like there will be a heavy rain."
Qi Ya got up and walked outside the pavilion and looked up at the night sky: "There will definitely be heavy thunder and raindrops. Fortunately, the wind is light and it won't be stormy."
"You also understand celestial phenomena? That's amazing."
