No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 417 Two kinds of women in the world

In Yunshui Pavilion, inside the tea tasting box, the atmosphere was quiet.

Ouyang Rong, Li Fusu, and Yan Liulang stared at each other for a while.

"Da Lang."

Ouyang Rong was the first to break the silence. Li Dalang noticed that his friend's expression turned serious, and he warned in a serious tone:

"Never say this in the palace from now on. If you want to say it...if you want to say it, please remove my name. Remember, remember."

"Why is this?" Li Dalang pursued him and asked, "Isn't it Tanlang who took me there for the first time..."

Ouyang Rong held his forehead and said: "I'm afraid that when I go to your house in the future, my uncle and aunt won't open the door for me. Your sister will scold me even if she doesn't even dare."

Li Fusu was slightly stunned, and Yan Liulang muttered and added: "Actually, what Mingfu is most afraid of is that Miss Xie won't open the door."

Ouyang Rong glared at Talkative Liulang and sighed towards Li Dalang: "I just took you out for a walk. I didn't expect you to become obsessed with this place."

"It's not exactly a crush either."

Li Fusu sat on the futon, propped up one leg, covered his knees with his hands, rested his chin on the back of his hands, as if his short beard had pricked the back of his hands, and moved his head away:

"I used to study in Juxian Garden, and the women I came into contact with, such as my mother, my sister, and the maids who did menial work in the garden, they gave me the feeling... like a hard wall, always standing, To fall is to shatter.

"Although the wall can protect you from wind and rain and allow you to rely on it, it always stops people and blocks the way, making it impossible to see what is outside the wall.

"But here, the women here give people a completely different feeling. It's like... they are water. Water is always lying down. The lake formed by it is also soft and can change in an ever-changing manner under the influence of external forces. of.

“Although the lake is like the wall, it still makes it impossible to take a step forward.

"But the lake will reflect the scenery of blue sky and white clouds, and even reflect the true appearance of the observer. Unlike a hard and stubborn wall, it will never block your view, but will show you another fresh look of the world's scenery.

"Although the price is that the water of the lake is always open and cannot protect people from the wind and rain in all seasons."

Li Fusu turned his head and asked in a serious tone:

"Tanlang, Liulang, do you prefer a hard wall to stand on or a soft lake to lie down on?"

Yan Liulang was a little dizzy after hearing this. He turned his head and looked around, and found that Mingfu and Dalang were looking at each other seriously, as if they both understood, but he didn't... Yan Liulang scratched his head and drank tea.

Ouyang Rong didn't answer. He was quiet for a while, looked at Li Fusu and said:

"So, in your eyes, Miss Qin is also like a wall? Right or wrong."

Li Dalang hesitated and said, "Miss Qin, she is a very nice person..."

Ouyang Rong interrupted without squinting:

"But she is similar to your mother and sister. In a sense, they are the same type of women. They may be attracted to the same sex and like each other, but you have no feelings for them. You don't need to add another wall to your life. If we add more, it will be a siege and it will be difficult to get out.”

Li Dalang was moved: "Tan Lang, it's my fault..."

Ouyang Rong, who was sitting upright, suddenly leaned forward, took the pot and filled a cup of tea for Li Dalang, and pushed it with two fingers:

"No, it's not your fault.

“There’s nothing wrong with that.

“This is actually a difference between needing and being needed.

"Seriously, Dalang, the women you have been in contact with in the house since you were a child, whether it is your mother or sister, are all too strong-tempered, and the feeling they give you may always be that they don't need you, and you need them. .

“However, being needed is a need that should not be criticized or criticized by anyone.

"What Dalang wants to pursue may be this. This kind of need can be given by a lover, a friend, or even a passerby. It does not make you a freak, but makes you more generous. Kind."

Li Fusu picked up the teacup, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, pouring all the tea leaves into his mouth. He choked for a while, then raised his head and asked with red eyes:

"Does Tanlang need me?"

Ouyang Rong took a few breaths quietly, showing a look of disgust, and waved his hand and patted him on the shoulder:

"Go away, I'm not Long Yang, you can find someone else to cut off your sleeves, such as Liulang. Besides..."

He paused and curled his lips: "Don't forget to promise not to let the salary holder freeze to death in the wind and snow. If you don't do it, I'll see if I don't hit you."

Li Fusu was stunned and quickly raised his sleeves to wipe his face. A voice that sounded like he was laughing through tears came from behind his wide sleeves:

"Tanlang, just go and get a salary for everyone, I will definitely take you back well in the future. I will go no matter how severe the storm is."

Ouyang Rong smiled.

Yan Liulang finally seemed to understand, his confused expression suddenly changed, and with a "pop" sound, he slapped his thigh heavily and said:

"Mingfu, Dalang. Walls and lakes, need and being needed...I understand, and finally I know why I like to come here to drink tea just like Dalang!"

Before they could ask, Yan Liulang sighed sadly:

"There are five sisters in my family, and there are five Bodhisattvas above them. They have beaten me since I was a child, and I have never won a fight. They make me run errands while grabbing melon seeds and serving tea. The most important thing is that my parents are also accomplices. These days are simply dark. I have the lowest status in the family.

"There are five whole walls, the southeast, northwest and the top of the head. They are airtight. The prisoners in the prison also have a small iron window. I have done good deeds and accumulated virtues for eight lifetimes. I have provoked who. This whole start..."

Yan Liulang wiped the corners of his eyes, sighed and took a sip of herbal tea: "No wonder I always come to drink tea. It's not my fault, it's fate."

Turning his head, he patted Li Fusu on the shoulder, who was stunned for a moment:

"Don't be sad, Dalang. You and I are almost the same. We were both forced to come here to drink tea by the thief God. We are both destitute people from the end of the world. If you have any problem, please help me... By the way, you just said you wanted to be raped. People need it? Actually, bro, I really need you too."

Yan Liulang sounded a little embarrassed and rubbed his hands:

"Recently, my nephew came to Xunyang to visit me, and he gave me a lot of red envelopes. I am very short of money. I want to have tea with you today, so I need to pay one or two in advance."

"..." Ouyang Rong.

"???" Li Dalang.

The two looked at Yanrokuro's sincere expression for a while.

Ouyang Rong turned his head and continued drinking tea.

Li Dalang silently took away Yan Liulang's heavy hand on his shoulder, and picked up the teacup with Ouyang Rong.

"The tea is good today."

"It's okay. Autumn tea is the king of tea. When I got home, I asked someone to send some new tea leaves to Huaiye Lane. Some time ago, my old friend gave my father a batch of rare Yunwu tea. My father knew you liked it, so he kept saying that he would send it. , but every time you come, he always forgets."

"That would be disrespectful..."

Looking at Ouyang Rong and Li Dalang who ignored him and seamlessly connected the topics, Yan Liulang suddenly choked with sadness and muttered:

"Mingfu and Dalang have changed, and they don't have the loyalty to say... If my brother needs me, I won't say anything. I will definitely come and I won't hesitate at all." Ouyang Rong and Li Dalang pretended not to hear, and continued to chat, ignoring him. .

Being interrupted by the live treasure Yan Liulang, the original atmosphere of communication between the two was mostly disturbed.

After a while, Ouyang Rong spoke seriously again:

"If you really don't like it, you can find an opportunity and make it clear to your family. But in the past few days, I have agreed to go out, so I have to spend time with Miss Qin. Don't be passive and neglect the guests. Give my junior sister and your sister a Explain.”

"it is good."

Ouyang Rong glanced at him who was feeling lost, and suddenly smiled and said: "Da Lang, look forward, you will definitely find a woman who is as soft as a lake and needs you."

Li Dalang was moved and couldn't help asking: "What about Tanlang, what do you like, like my sister, or do you like... lakes like me?"

Ouyang Rong asked: "Who said women can only look like walls and lakes? It's either one or the other?"

"What do you mean?"

Ouyang Rong smiled: "Can't the two be compatible? A wall outside and a lake at home? A wall during the day and a lake at night?"

Li Dalang opened his mouth.

Yan Liulang, who looked thoughtful, suddenly nodded: "I understand! The wall is standing on the wall, and it looks like a vertical line from a distance. The lake is lying on it, and it looks like a horizontal line from a distance. No matter how tough a woman is, her legs will go numb after standing for a long time during the day. I have to lie down and rest obediently at night. Isn't this just like changing from a hard wall to a soft lake... This is a perfect metaphor! Wonderful, if the Ming Dynasty doesn't say why you are Jinshilang, you are indeed fine enough, and you are as rough as us. People are different.”

"..." Ouyang Rong and Li Dalang.

Why do you feel that what you understood through enlightenment is a little different from what everyone else understands? The more I hear it, the weirder it gets.

At this moment, two familiar female voices were heard talking from outside the box.

"Sister Xie, are you sure Ouyang Changshi is really here?"

"The skirt knife sensor is here, it can't be wrong."

"But here... it looks a bit weird. It's normal to have a busy place for eating downstairs, but upstairs... the people are weird, and it's weird to be so quiet. What is it for?"

"What are you doing? I also want to know what you are doing. Why are you so quiet?"

Speaking of this, he seemed to feel more and more embarrassed in front of his female companion, and Xie Lingjiang's voice was cold and cold:

"The tea girls in the aisle are all short of clothes. They are dressed like this in autumn. Do they have no money to buy clothes, or is the restaurant mistreating them and cutting corners? Last time I accompanied my senior brother here, I felt vague I realized something was wrong, but it was summer at the time, so I didn’t think much about it, and now... hum."

"Sister Xie, why...why did you suddenly pull out the sword? Where...is this hidden?" Qin Ying's tone in the corridor was filled with fear and confusion.

Xie Lingjiang's tone was very unkind. Ouyang Rong's expression in the box froze when he heard this:

"I picked it up. Let's go and find the owner. Don't keep him waiting."

"This……"

Miss Qin paused for a moment, then turned to comfort her with a gentle voice:

"Actually, it's nothing. I, Aweng, was like this when I was young. In fact, it's normal for men to be romantic, as long as they have the biggest family at heart...

"Actually, I think Ouyang Changshi is excusable. He is talented, young and promising. Although he is slightly different from the rumored unapproachable womanizer, he is a handsome man. What girl can bear to look at him?

“This kind of environment has become a little more elegant, which is normal.

"And even though he came here, he might be discussing official business. What if someone forcibly invited him here? Being able to sit calmly here is an admirable way of practicing local practice... Sister Xie Don’t be angry, give me the sword, and we can talk to you later when we meet.”

Xie Lingjiang interrupted with a cold face, showing no emotion:

"Well, don't say nice things to him. He just listens to your nice words too much. He is spoiled by everything... I can only take care of it. Sister Qin, please step aside. Don't worry. Don't quarrel. I used to do it for my sister. That's how I control him, he doesn't dare to speak loudly in front of me..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ying looked sideways at Sister Xie, who seemed to have always had a high status in the family, and saw her holding her head high and striding forward:

"I want to see what kind of official business we are quietly discussing here..."

In the box, the expressions of Ouyang Rong and others suddenly changed. Before they could react and hide, the next moment, the door of the box opened with a clang.

Xie Lingjiang and Qin Ying walked in.

Li Dalang's back was facing the door, Yan Liulang's side was facing the door, and Ouyang Rong was facing directly.

So the two girls saw Ouyang Rong immediately, Qin Ying smiled, and did not forget to give him a sideways glance, asking him to quickly comfort Sister Xie, and at the same time turned around and said:

"Sister Xie, look, here are all men, talking about business..."

Qin Ying's words suddenly got stuck because she saw Li Dalang who turned around.

Everyone saw that the chubby female Taoist priest had stopped speaking, and the smile on her face was fixed and slowly faded away. After a while, she calmly nodded:

"It turns out that Mr. Li likes to come here when he's not feeling well. It makes him feel better. Sister Xie and I probably didn't disturb Mr. Li."

"..." Li Dalang.

"..." Xie Lingjiang.

Li Dalang suddenly realized.

I realized a truth... Tanlang was right, he was indeed experienced, women can indeed switch between hard walls and gentle lakes.

But the premise is, it depends on who it is for.

It's just that this truth is too cruel.

Li Dalang felt sad in his heart when he felt someone kicking him under the table. He suddenly woke up and looked up, only to find that Tan Lang did not look at him, but turned to look at Yan Liulang calmly.

Someone kicked him under the table again. Li Dalang reacted instantly and turned his attention to Yan Liulang.

"Liu Lang, how do you explain this time?" Ouyang Rong said with a straight face.

"I've told you so many times but you still come!" Li Dalang's eyes were full of disappointment.

"?" Yan Liulang.

Xie Lingjiang and Qin Ying followed the gazes of Ouyang Rong and Li Dalang and looked at Yan Liulang.

Feeling his brother's need, the latter swallowed, stood up bravely, and said with a forced smile:

"Hahaha, why are Miss Xie and Miss Qin here? It's... it's like this. Mingfu and Dalang are here to catch me. They just taught me a hard lesson. I, I can't help it when I'm on holiday. You ran here, couldn't control your legs, and made Mingfu and Dalang worry, it's all my fault, well, why can't I control my legs..."

The two girls are not stupid, their eyes are suspicious.

The next moment, Yan Liulang changed his expression and became extremely serious:

"Actually speaking, you may not believe it, but it is true, more real than gold... I love coming here, maybe it has something to do with my five sisters. It is a long story, so listen to me slowly... …”

Xie Lingjiang and Qin Ying: "..."
