Lanke Chess Edge

I have known Ji Yuan for many years, and I have long known that he is extraordinary, but this is Zhu Yanxu's first visit.

The older a person is, the more he sees things more clearly. Compared with the past, Zhu Yanxu's perception of Ji Yuan at this time is more special. Just watching Ji Yuan slowly wear away, the nervous and apprehensive mood before is slowly getting worse. After calming down, the breathing rate became more and more gentle.

"Master Zhu, Ji has just boiled the water, how about I borrow flowers and present Buddha with the tea you brought to make tea?"

Ji Yuan just finished grinding the ink at this moment, looked up at Zhu Yanxu and asked.

"Of course it's okay. Mr. Ji, would you like to drink Youzhou Fengjian tea or our Jizhou Yuqian tea? I, Mr. Zhu, have brought some of them. They are all good teas from relatives and friends."

"Tea before the rain, I haven't had it for a long time."

"Why!"

Zhu Yanxu bowed his head, rummaged through the sack he brought, found a yellow bamboo jar, shook it and twisted it open, a faint scent of tea came out.

With the sense of fate, he naturally knew that this was the best tea, no worse than the one sent by the Wei family. Looking at Zhu Yanxu's appearance, the hand holding the bamboo pot was already wrinkled, and his complexion was still ruddy, but his hair on the temples With gray spots and dots, it is only seven points like the powerful Zhu Xianwei in memory.

Ji Yuan took the bamboo pot from Zhu Yanxu, said "wait a moment", then turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Zhu Yanxu watched Ji Yuan leave, and then looked around the Ju'an Pavilion. The well not far away was covered with a large stone slab, and the surrounding houses also looked old, the paint color was dim or peeling off, but they looked clean.

The jujube tree above the head is much bigger than what you can see through the yard from the outside, like a big canopy, covering most of the courtyard of Ju'an Xiaoge, but the magic is that the winter sun can always shine through the branches , which makes it bright and warm even in the shade.

Looking back at the tabletop, the plaque on the small pavilion in Ju'an is not a finely-decorated board. It is just a wooden board with polished edges. Fortunately, the wood should be okay, without any cracks or insects. As for the words on it , It is indeed mottled and incomplete, and it is impossible to see clearly.

Because he brought a precious inkstone, Zhu Yanxu's eyes would naturally fall on Ji Yuan's four treasures of the study outside. Of course, there is no paper now, so there are only three treasures.

The ink must be the best ink, and the pen on the ceramic pen holder seems to be very special. Zhu Yanxu looked at it from several angles, and felt that the sunlight fell on the pen with different luster, which was very pleasing to the eye. There is this feeling in the pen.

But the inkstone looks like an ordinary old black inkstone. Zhu Yanxu felt that the inkstone he brought should be better, thinking that he would have to push it for a while, maybe Mr. Ji was just being polite.

The accountant Yuan also came out of the kitchen carrying a tray with teacups and a pot of brewed tea on it.

"Master Zhu has been waiting for a long time. He hasn't returned home for a long time and hasn't received guests for a long time. He is a bit negligent. You should prepare tea as soon as you come."

Zhu Yanxu quickly stood up to help.

"Hey, what about Mr. Ji, Mr. Zhu hastily visited and disturbed Mr."

The two poured tea, Zhu Yanxu blew it while Ji Yuan put it aside to cool.

In fact, Zhu Yanxu didn't have anything to ask for, but seeing Ji Yuan, he just wanted to set up a close relationship. Thinking about Yin Gong's frequent visits to Ju'an Xiaoge, he thought that Mr. Ji was extraordinary.

Although Zhu Yanxu also understands that Yin Gong's ability to achieve his current status must be due to his own talent, learning and hard work, but he can't help but wonder whether Mr. Ji has also helped.

Zhu Yanxu is a martial artist, although he is not a dull person, he is not very talkative either. Before coming here, he struggled with how to talk to Ji Yuan, but now a lot of words came out of his mouth.

He blew on the hot tea, smelled the aroma of the tea but didn't drink it right away, watching Ji Yuan clean up the remaining vermilion lacquer on the wooden board, he said with emotion.

"Sir, you haven't come back for more than ten years, right?"

Ji Yuan scratched the board with a small shell, nodded.

"That's right."

Zhu Yanxu took a shallow sip of tea, looked at the slightly swaying branches and leaves of the jujube tree above his head, and then looked at Ji Yuan.

"In a blink of an eye, I am already old, but Mr. Ji is still as handsome as before!"

Ji Yuan smiled.

"Master Zhu is absurdly praised. Your Excellency is always strong and strong, and his demeanor is also the same as before. Presumably Chen Sheng is the same as Master Chen."

If it is replaced by Ji Yuan's previous life, Chen Sheng and Zhu Yanxu are the "Ning'an County Twin Heroes" who have had the greatest influence on Ning'an County in the past few decades, followed by the blockbuster Yin Zhaoxian.

Without the civil and military officials, Ning'an County would not be where it is today, so Ji Yuan also admires these two, at least he thinks that he may not be able to do better than them when it comes to being an official.

Zhu Yanxu tried again while drinking tea.

"I heard that the jujube tree in Ju'an Xiaoge never bloomed again after the husband left. Now that the husband is back, is it time for the jujube tree to bloom?"

Although not many people in Ning'an County today may remember it, Zhu Yanxu still remembers the special jujube flower fragrance that filled almost half of the county.

"Whether it blooms or not depends on its own will, but Master Zhu is right. If the flowering season is still here next year, it should bloom."

"Oh, so it is so!"

Ji Yuan didn't play sloppy with him in these few words. Zhu Yanxu had already understood what he was asking and answering, and he didn't speak again for the time being. His hands tightened for a while and relaxed for a while, obviously he was hesitating about something in his heart.

About a quarter of an hour later, Zhu Yanxu drank two cups of tea, and Ji Yuan finally cleaned up the original vermilion lacquer on the wooden board, held it under the table and shook it lightly, and those varnish chips fell to the ground one after another, without a trace floating up. Stick to two people at the table.

When Ji Yuan put the wooden board back on the table, stretched out his hand to stroke it lightly, and then picked up the pen, Zhu Yanxu's mind could not help but be attracted by it.

Holding the sleeve and picking up the pen, smearing the ink, it seems that a special rhythm is implied in it. Zhu Yanxu looked at it seriously, and didn't notice that the already very quiet Ju'an Pavilion, the surrounding sounds are far away at this moment.

"Master Zhu, writing can make people feel calm, and the same is true when watching people write. Master Zhu, please observe carefully, and I will ask you to judge Ji's handwriting later."

With a calm and powerful voice, Ji Yuan moved the ink-stained wolf hair to the wooden sign, and then slowly lowered it.

The ink stained at a touch, far larger than the area covered by the stroke of the pen, but Ji Yuan didn't care, turning his wrist and moving his arm to write slowly, the iron painting silver hook is vigorous and powerful.

Zhu Yanxu looked at Ji Yuan's writing. The strange thing is that the tip of the Langhao pen in his hand is as thick as a thumb, but the handwriting that falls is at least two and a half fingers wide. Influence calligraphy.

After a long time, Ji Yuan finished writing the last line, put the pen away and put it on the side pen holder, looked at the plaque carefully for a while, and said to Zhu Yanxu with a smile.

"Master Zhu, please taste the taste!"

Zhu Yanxu was still immersed in the feeling just now, and even Ji Yuan's words didn't break the rhythm, he just said "OK", stood up and walked to the edge of Ji Yuan, looking down at the plaque that his eyes never left.

Looking at it from the front, the four characters "Ju'an Xiaoge" are neither rigid nor soft, and a sense of freshness and joy almost reveals the surface. It is a feeling of peace of mind, peace of mind, and peace of mind, which makes him feel comfortable physically and mentally.

Especially the word "Ju'an" made Zhu Yanxu feel at ease and calm, and even the lack of energy caused by poor rest during this period of time was greatly relieved, and he looked full of air.

"Good words, good words, really good words!"

Zhu Yanxu could read and write, but that was all he could do. He couldn't say any polite compliments, but these words were sincere. He had never seen such beautiful and charming characters.

"In this case, Lord Zhu, please watch for a while longer."

When Ji Yuan said this, he started to drink tea from the teacup. It was obviously winter, but the temperature of his tea that had been placed for so long was just right for drinking.

The afternoon sun in winter makes people feel warm, and the breath under the jujube tree in Ju'an Xiaoge is also very comfortable, especially in the current state, Zhu Yanxu feels that every breath is very comfortable and fresh.

Before he knew it, a long time had passed, Ji Yuan stood up and approached Zhu Yanxu who was still standing there blankly.

"Master Zhu, Master Zhu! It's time to wake up!"

Zhu Yanxu's spirit lifted, and he woke up as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Huh? I, oh, good words!"

"Well, thank you for your compliment, sir, but it's getting late, sir, it's time to go home, and if it's too late, you should worry about your wife and children."

As Ji Yuan said, he pointed to the sky.

Zhu Yanxu was stunned for a moment, looking at the sky, it was actually quite dark, and even though it was blocked by houses and courtyard walls, he could still see a ray of sunset light in the west, indicating that it was not because the sun was covered by clouds at this moment, but because Really the sun has set.

"Here, how come so quickly..."

Zhu Yanxu was halfway through speaking when he suddenly realized something.

"Mr. Ji, is that the word?"

"Hehe, Master Zhu, don't think too much. Go home. Ji's house doesn't have any dishes, so I won't let you eat."

Zhu Yanxu didn't say anything more, he arched his hands and said.

"Okay, Mr. Ji sit down, and Zhu will leave. This inkstone..."

"Take it back."

"Uh, all right!"

Zhu Yanxu didn't dare to insist any more, fearing that he would be displeased by being too polite, so he picked up the box of the inkstone alone, left the pastry and wine, and then went to the door with Ji Yuan sending him off.

"Mr. Ji doesn't need to send it off, Zhu will go home now!"

"Okay, Master Zhu, go slowly."

"Why!"

Zhu Yanxu cupped his hands again and again, subconsciously glanced at the top of the small pavilion courtyard door, then turned around and walked towards the outside. He couldn't describe how he felt today, but he vaguely understood in his heart that this experience was beyond anyone's imagination.

Anyway, today is the right trip!
