Genshin Impact: Zhongli discovered that he was stealing tributes at the beginning

Chapter 19 Rest



It's the beginning of April, and thousands of mountains are still green after the rain. April is full of spring green.

There was a continuous spring rain last night. The rain stopped early in the morning. Wu Ye woke up leisurely and had a very comfortable sleep.

He opened the door of his room and walked to the lawn of the yard, did a set of radio gymnastics, and stretched his limbs. The morning light shone warmly on his shoulders.

Wu Ye found that his grandfather had gone out early today. He didn't know if he was setting up a stall. The old man really couldn't stay idle.

Forget it, there were too many things happening these days. Wu Ye decided to lie in the yard and rest for a few days, as the so-called balance between work and rest.

Wu Ye walked around the yard, with sparse shadows and faint fragrance floating around. The peach blossoms outside the yard were still blooming. He could clearly smell the aroma of various flowers, the freshness of the glazed lily, the richness of the neon flowers, and the lightness of the peach blossoms. And the elegance of plum blossoms.

Hmm? Plum blossoms? Wu Ye remembered that there were no plum blossoms planted in the yard. How could it be...

"Xiao Ye, are you up? Brat, open the door quickly!"

A loud voice sounded outside the yard, and it was Grandpa Wu Yong's voice.

Wu Ye could hear happiness and excitement in his grandfather's voice.

"What's going on? Grandpa only uses the word 'stinky boy' in front of others."

"It seems that there are guests coming."

Wu Ye thought, then walked quickly outside and opened the courtyard door.

There are two people outside the door, one is Wu Yong of course, and the other is Hu Tao, the 77th generation leader of the Rebirth Hall.

Wu Ye did not say hello, but stared blankly at Hu Tao, because the Hu Tao in front of him was not the usual attire. It was obvious that she had been carefully dressed up. She had changed into a set of Hanfu.

Hutao's Hanfu suit is bright and transparent in color and embroidered with exquisite patterns, demonstrating superb craftsmanship and delicate handwork.

Hanfu also adopts a loose cut, and the skirt hangs straight and softly, like wind and water, as if Hutao exudes an invisible charm.

The hem of the dress gently brushed the ground, showing Hu Tao's graceful figure and curves, while also highlighting her elegance that is rarely seen in ordinary times.

In short, Hutao's Hanfu suit shows the elegance and sophistication of Liyue's traditional culture.

Hu Tao's long hair is spread behind her back, natural and smooth. Every strand of hair looks very neat and not messy.

She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look directly into Wu Ye's burning eyes, her face turned red.

Wu Ye also noticed that there were two plum blossoms in Hutao's hair that bloomed like butterflies spreading their wings. The petals were as silky as silk, soft and delicate.

"Xiaoye, why are you so dazed?! Let Xiaotao go in quickly. Why are you standing here in a daze?"

Wu Yong scolded Wu Ye, and then took Hu Tao in kindly.

"Come on, Xiao Tao, you haven't been here to play in Peach Blossom Lane for a long time. You can see that you have lost a lot of weight. You must be too busy. It's all because of Wu Ye, the brat. I asked him to bring you to the yard before. There has been no sign of you. If I had gone to the Shengtang specifically this morning, I don’t know how long I would have waited to see you, Xiaotao."

"I have something serious to be busy with."

Wu Ye explained in a low voice.

"Hmph, you still dare to talk back. The older this kid is, the more troublesome he is."

After Wu Yong scolded Wu Ye, he praised Hu Tao.

"Hey, Xiao Tao is still good. It would be great if Xiao Tao was my granddaughter."

"Cough, cough, cough."

Wu Ye pretended to cough a few times, and Wu Yong pretended not to hear.

"Grandpa Wu Yong, don't worry. I will often come to Peach Blossom Lane to accompany you in the future. Previously, it was because the Palace of Purity was almost unable to operate due to lack of funds, so I had to go out as a salesman every day."

Hu Tao replied with a smile.

"That's good, that's good. Xiaotao, are you still short of Maura? Grandpa, I still have some savings over the years. I'll get it for you."

After saying that, Wu Yong walked straight to his house.

Only then did Wu Ye realize that his grandfather was not only more rosy, he no longer needed a cane to walk, his body was no longer trembling, and he spoke more energetically than before!

"Ahem, grandpa, didn't you say before that you would leave it to me to find a wife?"

Wu Ye interrupted inappropriately, because he could clearly see that his grandfather was trying to bring him and Hu Tao together.

But he was a little unsure, after all, he was just an ordinary person.

Although Hu Tao's plum blossom pupils twinkled every time she looked at him.

The most important thing is that I haven't thought about this aspect, I just want to spend this life safely.

"You're the only one who has a lot of things to do! Didn't you earn some royalties by writing a book? Are you still concerned about my old man? It's because Xiaotao is considerate and healed me when he saw something wrong with my body."

Wu Yong pretended to be angry.

She really made me cry to death. The master of the Hall of the Past can actually heal patients. Normally, isn’t it just a matter of great success?

Wu Ye couldn't stop thinking wildly, but when he thought that he had inadvertently made fun of his grandfather's health, he quickly slapped himself. It was a sin!

Hutao didn't notice Wu Ye's abstract scene. She only noticed the word "writing a book".

Suddenly, her plum blossom pupils lit up, she ran to Wu Ye's side, took his arm and shook it, saying coquettishly:

"Brother Wu Ye, it turns out that you can write a book. Can you help me, the lovely and charming leader of this hall, write a biography? I don't need too many words, one hundred thousand words is enough. Please~ please~ "

What a sin! Wu Ye knew that what was supposed to come would eventually come, and one hundred thousand words was more than the number of words he had written in "White" now. However, under Wu Yong's loving eyes, he helplessly held his forehead and sighed:

"Okay, okay, Hutao, tell me what special things you have done when you have time, and I will polish it for you."

"Hehe, Wu Ye is the best."

Hu Tao covered her mouth and said with a smile.

"Okay, you two young people, let's go out and play. I will definitely be bored accompanying the old man."

Wu Yong waved his hand and asked Wu Ye to take Hu Tao out to play.

"By the way, Xiaoye, come back and buy some vegetables and a fresh big seabass. I'll cook boiled blackback seabass for Xiaotao at noon."

"I understand, Grandpa, we are going out."

Hu Tao didn't speak at this time, and her silence was a bit heart-wrenching. Wu Ye couldn't help but stretched out his hand to scratch her little nose, and said with a smile: "Your clothes are so beautiful, I can't help but stare at it, it's you Did you do it yourself?”

"Yeah, it looks good. I started making it a few months ago. I specifically asked Yanfei's master, Grandma Ping..."

Speaking of this, Hu Tao regained her lively appearance and began to explain the details of this outfit to Wu Ye in detail along the way.

......

The two of them walked and chatted along the way, and walked to the market in Liyue Port while chatting and laughing.

During this period, Wu Ye fainted once, which scared Hu Tao. The reason was?!

"By the way, Hutao, what is your guest at the Hall of Rebirth doing recently?"

"He's still the same as before. He walks around with birds, drinks tea and watches movies all day long, oh?! He has another activity recently."

"what activity?!"

Wu Ye asked nervously.

"Oh, it's okay. Maybe I was infected by this hall master. He also likes to recite poems and write poems, but the only thing he says back and forth is, 'I want to buy chrysanthemums and drink with me.' I'm tired of hearing it."

"It's Osmanthus." Wu Ye's mouth twitched, Zhongli couldn't be wrong.

"Oh, yes, it's Osmanthus fragrans. I don't understand why a broken Osmanthus fragrans is good enough to talk about every day. It's not as good as the Qiuqiu ballad newly created by this hall master. Wu Ye, haven't you heard it? I'll sing it to you."

Hutao stretched out her hand and sang with a grimace:

"Da Qiuqiu is sick, Erqiuqiu looks at it, Sanqiuqiu collects medicine..."

"Okay, okay, no need to sing anymore. I think it sounds good and I like it."

This girl is good at everything, but she is too eloquent. Wu Ye shook his head and continued to ask:

"Then where did he go to spend money this month?"

"Let me think about it, but strangely enough, I didn't receive the bill from him last month. I heard he said that someone was willing to pay for him, and he wouldn't have to go to Shengsheng Hall to pay for him in the future. This is really great! I don’t need to promote the business of the Hall of Rebirth every day. That person must be a great benefactor. If I know who that person is, after a hundred years, I will help him bury him for free."

Hu Tao said with beaming eyebrows, obviously very happy.

"By the way, Wu Ye, why don't you smile?"

Haha, laugh?! Why do you make me laugh? I'll knock it! Wu Ye cried silently in his heart.

"Oh~ I finally remembered. Zhongli hosted a banquet for three of his old friends at the Liulic Pavilion yesterday. I only remember that the name of one of the women was 'Liu Yun'. I also went there and played dice with them. . When I paid the bill after the meal, I spent a million molas!"

"I was shocked at the time, but hehe, luckily I didn't have to pay...Wu Ye? Wu Ye! What's wrong with you?! Why are you frothing at the mouth? Nothing will happen to you?! Oh, you can't Something happened..."
