Chapter 2433 Tea is not as good as wine, let’s ride together!

The cup Ma Ye drank tea from was very small, and he drank it all in one sip. Xu Hongdou looked at Ma Ye holding the tea cup and slowly sipping it. For some reason, she suddenly wanted to stimulate this middle-aged man who liked to preach, and put the tea in his hand. He stretched his tea cup forward and said with a smile.

"Master Ma, the cup is too small and it's not satisfying to drink. Is there a bigger cup?"

Hearing this, Mr. Ma seemed to be choked. He opened his eyes again and looked at Xu Hongdou helplessly. He took a deep breath and suppressed the speechlessness in his heart.

“Tea needs to be sipped slowly, not drunk!”

Xu Hongdou smiled after hearing this, and asked Ma Ye to help her fill a cup of Pu'er tea again, and sipped it. She just suddenly became naughty, just for fun.

Li Qingyan put down the cup in his hand and said.

"It's better to drink. There are too many rules and it makes people feel restricted!"

"This is wrong. Drinking tea has the beauty of drinking tea, and drinking wine has the pleasure of drinking. They cannot be compared!"

Li Qingyan smiled. He preferred drinking to drinking tea. He also knew many friends who drank. They were all interesting people and unforgettable.

"I prefer drinking wine to drinking tea!"

"If heaven does not love wine, the wine stars are not in the sky. If the earth does not love wine, there should be no fountains of wine. Heaven and earth love wine, and if you love wine, you are worthy of heaven. I have heard that it is clearer than the sage, and the Tao is as turbid as the sage. The sage has drunk it , why ask for gods. Three cups lead to the road, and a fight combines with nature. But if you get the fun from wine, don't pass it on to those who are sober."

Li Qingyan stood up and walked out, reciting Li Bai's "Drinking Alone under the Moon" in his mouth. His voice was free and bold, his momentum was magnificent, and he had a magnanimity far beyond ordinary people. Mr. Ma and Xu Hongdou stared blankly at his back. .

When Li Qingyan was about to step out of the room, he stopped, looked back at Master Ma, and invited with a smile.

"Master Ma, you invite me to tea, and I invite you to drink. Will you come?"

"Drinking tea and meditating, but it still doesn't make you calm and forget your worries!"

"Cao Cao said that the only way to relieve worries is Du Kang. Maybe you chose the wrong way. Drink some wine and sleep. When you wake up the next day, you may suddenly realize it and feel suddenly enlightened. Maybe you have thought about it!"

Mr. Ma's expression moved slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he lowered his head to look at the things on the tea table. He was originally a rough man, but he was here to be arty and cultivate his character. It has been a year, but he still can't let go of the feeling in his heart. The knot was untied. Maybe he really chose the wrong way. He stood up suddenly and responded loudly.

"Come on, let's just drink. I'm a veteran!"

After that, Mr. Ma followed Li Qingyan out of the room, leaving Xu Hongdou sitting alone in the room, looking at the steaming tea, silently silent.

"Master, all the guests have left, and I am the only one left!"

Xu Hongdou looked at it, changed to a larger tea cup, filled it with bright red tea soup, took a big sip, and sighed.

"It's still enjoyable to drink like this. It seems that people need to learn to break the rules, otherwise life will be too tiring!"

Xu Hongdou showed a bright and charming smile and glanced at the small teacup she had just used with disgust, looking very happy.

Li Qingyan ordered a table of sumptuous dishes at a restaurant in the village and called Xie Zhiyao over. The three of them sat in the yard, eating meat, drinking wine, and chatting enthusiastically.

Li Qingyan is rich in experience and knowledgeable. Xie Zhiyao graduated from a prestigious school, worked in an investment bank, and returned to his hometown to start a business. He is also well-informed. Although Ma Ye is now at a low point in his life, he has started his own business many times and has been prosperous. , the experience is good, and the three of them had a conversation, and everyone was touched and benefited. As the saying goes, if we are three people, we must have a teacher. Everyone has a unique perspective and can bring different understandings to others.

It was almost ten o'clock after the three of them drank. Xie Zhiyao wandered home. Ma Ye was also dizzy and was sent back to the room by Li Qingyan. Only Li Qingyan was still very sober and remained awake. Feeling slightly tipsy, I did not go back to the bedroom to rest. Instead, I sat under the pergola, quietly blowing the evening breeze and admiring the bright starry sky, which was very comfortable.

At some point, Xu Hongdou sat next to Li Qingyan. Li Qingyan glanced sideways and said nothing. The two of them just sat quietly with their backs against the wall, enjoying the quiet night.

The next day, in the early morning, Damai, who had been busy coding all night, walked out of the room and went to the small courtyard to stretch his hands and feet. When he turned his head, he saw Xu Hongdou clinging to Li Qingyan, sleeping very soundly. He was shocked and wanted to Talk.

"Shh!"

Li Qingyan raised his index finger to his lips and gestured to Damai. The little girl quickly covered her mouth, her heart full of confusion and secret guesses.

"Are Sister Hongdou and Brother Qingyan in love? Otherwise, how could they be together all night?"

Damai was confused and didn't dare to disturb the two of them. He tiptoed back to his room, his heart beating fast, as if he had done something that made people feel guilty.

"This girl Damai, why does she seem to have a guilty conscience? Why are you running away?"

Li Qingyan looked at Damai running away and felt funny. This girl was really a social fear. He was not shy. She was scared away first. She was too timid.

The sun gradually rose, and a ray of sunlight shone on Xu Hongdou's face. His eyelashes trembled slightly, crystal clear, his eyelids opened, he straightened up in a daze, rubbed his eyes with his jade hands, yawned, and felt his neck Feeling a little sore, she turned left and right, and a familiar face came into view. Xu Hongdou froze immediately, and couldn't help but recall what happened last night in his mind.

"I just slept on you all night?"

No matter how generous Xu Hongdou is, she can't help but feel a little shy at this moment. She fell asleep with Li Qingyan watching the stars last night and slept on him all night. It was really embarrassing.

Li Qingyan turned his head to look at the water stains on his shoulders, pursed his lips, and said playfully.

"Look at this saliva, does it look familiar?"

Xu Hongdou wished that there was a crack in the ground for her to crawl in. It was too bad that she was drooling again while sleeping.

"I'm going back to the room to wash up first!"

Xu Hongdou left a word and hurried back to the room without daring to stay.

Li Qingyan shook his head. Both of them had the same reaction. Didn't they just fall asleep while watching the stars together? What's the big deal?

Li Qingyan stood up and stretched his shoulders, then walked upstairs with leisurely steps. He also wanted to change into new clothes.

Li Qingyan washed up, changed his clothes, walked down the second floor, and came to the small courtyard again. At this time, Master Ma sat on the futon again, closing his eyes and meditating.

"Hey, Mr. Ma, you haven't thought about it yet!"

"Otherwise, if we drink some more tonight, I won't believe it. There is something that can't be solved by just one drink. If so, just have a few more drinks!"

Mr. Ma slowly opened his eyes and became garrulous again, talking in a Zen way and talking about things that were cloudy and misty.

"Alcohol is a poison that penetrates the intestines and cannot solve people's troubles. We have to enter concentration through meditation and find the true nature of our nature, in order to solve the root cause of troubles!"

"As the saying goes, if you cut off the water with a knife, the water will flow again; if you raise a cup to relieve your sorrow, your sorrow will become even worse."

Mr. Ma rambled a lot, closed his eyes again, raised his five minds, and pretended to meditate, which made Li Qingyan look funny.

"What are you going to do today?"

Xu Hongdou had almost visited Yunmiao Village in the past two days, and his mobile phone had not been repaired, so he was a little bored. He looked at the leisurely Li Qingyan and asked quietly.

"Have you ever ridden a horse?"

Li Qingyan thought for a moment and asked Xu Hongdou. He leaned back, his whole body relaxed, enjoying the bright spring scenery.

"No!"

Xu Hongdou shook her head. She had lived in rural Qilu since she was a child. There was no grassland, so naturally she had never ridden a horse.

"Then after breakfast, I'll take you to the racecourse to play!"

"OK!"

Xu Hongdou is very interested in horse riding. She has a lively personality and was often naughty and mischievous when she was a child. She was a ghost-like child and was often beaten.

Under the sun, there is a green grassland and shaded trees at the racecourse. Xu Hongdou is wearing a brown and white plaid shirt on the upper body and a pair of light-colored casual pants on the lower body. It is a very ordinary combination, and the figure is also wrapped up, not too much. It appears, but with that exquisite oval face and long black hair floating around, faintly glowing with brown-red light under the sunlight, it is like a beautiful oil painting, which makes people dizzy, and time seems to be here. There was a pause.

“You’re dressed up beautifully today!”

Li Qingyan's eyes were filled with admiration, and he praised Xu Hongdou without hesitation.

“It’s hard to give up on natural beauty!”

Xu Hongdou said very proudly. She was bright and elegant, and she accepted Li Qingyan's praise calmly. She was not shy like ordinary girls, nor condescending like little fairies, which made people feel very comfortable.

In the pen, two mares and their foals were slowly grazing, not alerted by the arrival of the two uninvited guests.

As soon as Li Qingyan approached the fence, a white horse came over with elegant steps. Its long horse's face stretched out of the fence and flattered Li Qingyan, looking like a coquettish person.

Xu Hongdou looked at this scene in surprise, looking like he wanted to get closer but didn't dare. When Li Qingyan saw this, he patted the cute little horse's face and motioned for Xu Hongdou to come over.

Xu Hongdou was still a little worried, but she still had the courage to get closer. As a result, the little cutie stretched out the horse's face, which shocked Xu Hongdou.

Li Qingyan patted the little cutie gently, his eyes a little more stern. The cutie snorted aggrievedly, and then stood still obediently, as if he was at the mercy of others.

"how did you do it?"

Xu Hongdou reached out and touched the little cutie's face, with a look of disbelief on her face.

"I know a little bit about horse training. Do you want to try riding one?"

Li Qingyan put his hand on the fence and looked at Xu Hongdou who was very interested in the little cutie and suggested.

"May I?"

Xu Hongdou's face showed eagerness to try. She was not a timid girl and was very interested in a somewhat dangerous sport like horse riding.

Li Qingyan nodded, stretched out his hands, climbed over the fence, entered inside, stood beside the little cutie, and stretched out his hand to signal Xu Hongdou to come in.

Xu Hongdou moved smartly, turning over in a few moments and standing next to Li Qingyan, without blushing or out of breath.

"The movements are quite swift. It seems that he does this kind of thing a lot!"

"I can't compare to you. Your movements are skillful, and you look like a habitual offender!"

Xu Hongdou said angrily to Li Qingyan and rolled his eyes in a charming way, which was touching.

"Wait a minute, I'll get the saddle!"

The staff at the racecourse all knew Li Qingyan. Although they were curious about why he climbed over the fence, they did not ask any more questions. They knew that Li Qingyan had shares in this racecourse and was the big boss. Xie Zhiyao was only responsible for the management.

Li Qingyan put the saddle on the little cutie, and then taught Xu Hongdou how to mount the horse.

"First put your left foot on the stirrup, then stand up straight, step over with the other foot and step on the other stirrup!"

Xu Hongdou followed Li Qingyan's instructions and sat firmly on the horse. It seemed like it was his first time riding a horse, so he still couldn't let go and his waist was hunched.

"Straighten your back, look forward, don't be afraid, I'm here, be bold!"

Xu Hongdou straightened his body and looked forward. He felt his field of vision suddenly broadened and asked excitedly.

"What to do next?"

“Knock the horse’s belly lightly with your feet, and the horse will move forward!”

Xu Hongdou followed Li Qingyan's words. As expected, the little cutie took steps and started walking slowly in the fence. Xu Hongdou felt extremely novel and his eyes were full of excitement.

After the little cutie walked around the racecourse, Xu Hongdou was obviously a little swollen. She was not satisfied with the slow steps and asked quickly.

"How can I make the little cutie run? This is really boring!"

"You want to run before you even learn how to walk. This horse riding is no joke. Once you start running, you lose your seat and fall. It's no joke!"

Xu Hongdou pouted, seeming a little unhappy, but still obeyed Li Qingyan's words honestly and did not mess around.

Li Qingyan sighed, looked at Xu Hongdou, reined in the reins suddenly, causing the little cutie to stop, turned on his horse, sat behind Xu Hongdou, stretched out his hands, and held Xu Hongdou in his arms.

"what are you doing?"

Xu Hongdou's whole body stiffened, and she felt the broad embrace behind her. A hot breath surged into her heart, making her extremely nervous. She didn't dare to look back and asked softly.

"Don't you want the horse to run?"

"drive!"

Li Qingyan flicked the reins, and the little cutie immediately took four hooves and started galloping with lightning speed.

Waves of howling wind blew past his ears, and the surrounding scenery receded. Xu Hongdou's eyes narrowed into slits. Feeling the speed and passion, his body gradually relaxed and he leaned tightly into Li Qingyan's arms. , there is a feeling of flying, freely, without any restraint, without any restraint, I can't help but shout.

"Faster, faster!"

The sound of horse hooves as dense as raindrops rang in Xu Hongdou's ears. The little cutie was like a streak of white light. All the scenery was going backwards crazily, as if there was an illusion. The world was turned upside down, and the whole person was in a weightless state. In this state, Xu Hongdou has never been so relaxed as he is now, his nerves are extremely excited, and laughter like silver bells echoes over the racecourse.

"Hush!"

The little cutie ran around the racecourse for a few times. Li Qingyan tightened the reins, turned over and dismounted, and reached out to help Xu Hongdou off the horse.

“It turns out that riding a horse is so fun!”

Xu Hongdou had a faint blush on her face, which was a sign of excitement. She enjoyed the thrilling feeling just now and said with a smile.

"No wonder the knights in martial arts novels like to ride in the rivers and lakes!"

"Riding in the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes are not as beautiful as imagined!"

Li Qingyan seemed quite emotional about this, and said something that puzzled Xu Hongdou. He looked at Li Qingyan with beautiful eyes, as if waiting for his explanation.

"There is a saying that goes well. Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but about human nature. It is no different from our society. We still need to abide by the rules and regulations!"

The little cutie on the side was panting violently, and its chest and abdomen were constantly heaving. It had just carried two people and ran wildly, which was a lot of physical exertion. Li Qingyan took the little cutie back to the manger, got some fodder, and fed it with Xu Hongdou. , which can be regarded as a reward for the little cutie’s hard work just now.

Just after leaving the racecourse, Li Qingyan's cell phone rang. Li Qingyan took out his cell phone and took a look. It was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, who are you?"

"Do you know Xu Hongdou? She called me with this mobile phone number before!"

"I know you, who are you?"

Li Qingyan glanced sideways at Xu Hongdou, who was walking in front, to confirm the other person's identity.

"I'm Xu Hongdou's mother. Xu Hongdou's phone has been unreachable. Can you ask her to call me back?"

Li Qingyan remembered that Xu Hongdou lent him his mobile phone to call his family, so he naturally would not object and said quickly.

"Auntie, please wait a moment. Xu Hongdou is beside me. I asked her to answer the phone. Don't hang up!"

Li Qingyan quickly quickened his pace, walked to Xu Hongdou, handed her the phone, opened and closed his mouth, and spoke softly.

"your mom!"

Xu Hongdou quickly took the phone and walked aside to chat with her mother.

"Hey, Mom, what do you want from me? Didn't I tell you? My phone is broken and I can't contact you in the past two days!"

"Hongdou, who was that young man just now? Are you in love?"

Parents all over the world are the same, Xu Hongdou is not young anymore, Xu's mother and Xu's father are also worried about their daughter's marriage, and they urge Xu Hongdou a lot.

"Mom, don't make random guesses. Isn't he my boyfriend?"

"Not yet, so you like him?"

Xu's mother's excited voice rang from the phone, and her voice was an octave higher. Xu Hongdou could faintly hear her mother shouting.

"Old Xu, come here quickly, Hongdou has someone he likes!"

Xu Hongdou was speechless and covered her forehead with her hands. She knew her parents would react like this. She cautiously glanced at Li Qingyan who was not far away and whispered.

"Mom, don't be so surprised. I'm almost thirty years old. Isn't it normal to meet someone you like? There's nothing to be surprised about!"

"The iron trees are blooming, and the ancestral graves of Lao Xu's family are smoking. Hongdou, you finally want to fall in love!"

Xu's mother said excitedly as if she had won the lottery, which showed that she was worried about her daughter's feelings.

Xu Hongdou felt extremely speechless, rolled his eyes, and said helplessly.

"Mom, I'm just busy with work and don't have time to fall in love. It's not like I can't get married. Your reaction is too exaggerated!"

"Hongdou, don't listen to your mother's nonsense. Where is that young man from, what does he do, what is his character like, and is he reliable?"

Compared with Xu's mother's happiness, Xu's father is more worried. Every father is full of hostility towards his daughter's boyfriend, and is always worried that his little cabbage will be taken over by a pig.
