There were several wooden boxes of different sizes on the antique display cabinet, most of which were not locked. He opened them one by one, looked at the things inside, and then closed them.

At the very bottom of the display cabinet, where he had just been lying, there was a long and thin box that looked like it could hold a sword or a scroll.

The servant squatted down and slowly opened it, revealing a scroll.

Putting it alone in a box, one would inevitably suspect that there is anything special about it.

So he wiped his hands on his lapel, then carefully lifted the scroll with both hands, and then slowly unfolded it.

In the painting, there are two people, a boy and a girl. The boy is lying on a rockery, and the girl is standing below. The boy is extending his hand to hand over something.

The servant held up the painting and examined it carefully, only to find that it was a branch of peach blossom.

He felt that this was the only thing that met the special requirements that the man had described, so he looked at the signature.

The servant was illiterate. He only saw a single vertical line of characters at the signature, which did not look complicated. He heaved a sigh of relief, took out a piece of paper and a charcoal pencil wrapped in cloth from his arms, and traced the characters.

“Twelfth year of Tiansheng, March 28th, peach blossoms in spring.”

The next day, evening, in the East Courtyard of the Xie family.

After Xie Qin had dinner with Yin Mingyu in the East Courtyard, he said bluntly: “I will stay in the East Courtyard today.”

But he didn’t want to be too vulgar, and was worried that Yin Mingyu wouldn’t understand, so he said in a serious tone: “I’ll teach you to write poetry at night, that kind of overnight stay.”

Yin Mingyu: “……”

This idea of ​​staying overnight is really fresh and unconventional.

But the demand was mutual, and even though the words were a bit strange, she took it as a sign of interest and agreed.

Xie Qin was well prepared.

After taking a bath, Yin Mingyu came out in a thin nightgown. She took out a glass incense burner, shoveled the ashes elegantly, and then used the incense chopsticks to gently stir the incense burner in circles.

“Wait a moment, it will be fine.”

Yin Mingyu sat on the edge of the bed with a slightly dazed look on her face, watching Xie Qin start to press the incense ash again, then switch to an incense broom and slowly sweep away the ash on the edge of the incense burner.

Xie Qin took the seal mold, picked up the incense spoon beside him, and asked Yin Mingyu: “Do you want to try it?”

Yin Mingyu declined the offer: “My dear, please, I’d better not make trouble.”

Xie Qin then gracefully filled the incense powder, set off the incense seal, and then took a stick of incense and extended it to the candle flame to light the incense powder.

The cigarette smoke slowly rose, blurring Yin Mingyu’s vision bit by bit. Through the smoke, she looked at Xie Qin, who was dressed in white pajamas and had his black hair like a waterfall. It seemed as if there was a fairy aura lingering around him, making people dare not blaspheme him.

But after the immortal stood up, he held two glasses of wine, slowly walked towards Yin Mingyu, and took the initiative to enter the mortal world.

Fascinated by the beauty, Yin Mingyu felt a little dry in his mouth. She took the wine from his hand and quenched her thirst.

Xie Qin also raised his head and drank it all, then put down the glass, dropped the bed curtain, and covered Yin Mingyu’s lips with the scent of wine.

Their black hair blended together and hung on the pillow.

Yin Mingyu put her white arms around his neck and whispered a few words gently, and the gentleman as gentle as a bamboo fell into despair with her.

That night, the two of them spent it in harmony, despite their flaws. When Yin Mingyu got up the next day, Xie Qin was still not there.

She was not disappointed, but just looked at the burnt incense ashes, lying on the bed, laughing so hard that her shoulders shook slightly.

So elegant……

It’s just like a ritual.
