Chapter 44: Drunken Lies
At dusk, the golden light of ten thousand oranges sprinkled softly onto Tianxia Street, so that the whole street was immersed in a yellow halo. And the people in the streets are becoming scarcer, and the sun rises and the sun returns, and the pedestrians on the street hurry to the hut where their smoke rises.
Gu Zhirong leaned at the door of Piaoxiang Society, the wine was very strong, the alcohol was on her head, her face was flushed, like a ripe apple, her eyes were a little sour, her head was a little dizzy, and the feeling of lightheadedness became more and more intense, obviously she was in a drunken state.
Cai Qing helped her young lady, and her eyes kept looking at the corner of the street. The ladies who came to participate in the competition have all left in their own carriages waiting at the door early, and when it gets dark, this Tianxia Street, which specializes in the four treasures of the study, seems to be deserted.
"I said I'm waiting here, why hasn't the dead Chen Lao Si come yet?" Cai Qing muttered. Chen Laosi is a little old man, fifty miles away, and his driving skills are quite stable, after sending them over, he went back to the house on an errand. And Miss Gu Er and Miss Gu Fourth had already gotten into their own carriages and left.
When they were leaving, Cai Qing specially asked them to help call Chen Laosi, after all, it was dark and this street was not very safe. Miss Gu Er and Miss Fourth also agreed, but they were never heard from.
Thinking about it, I don't blame Miss Gu Er and Miss Four, they are bent on showing their style at the group meeting, and they don't want this style to be taken up by the little-known Miss of their own family, how angry they should be in their hearts, especially in the hearts of the second miss. What's more, during the banquet, the three princes seemed to secretly help Gu Zhirong's words to make them even more uncomfortable, so it was possible to snub Gu Zhirong like this.
However, it is getting dark, and they are all weak women, so it is really not safe.
After resting for a while, Gu Zhirong felt better, so he asked Cai Qing: "Where is the carriage, hasn't it arrived yet?"
Cai Qing looked at Gu Zhirong with indignation on her face: "Miss, according to the slave maid, the second miss and the fourth miss deliberately forgot about you, miss." It was getting dark, but everyone would have thought that the young lady was still outside, and besides, they had come with the young lady! They must have done it on purpose. ”
The second miss and the fourth miss did this, of course, nothing big would happen, but it was a big deal to let Gu Zhirong wait a little longer, and the anxiety and anxiety would strike. Presumably, the carriage will come sooner or later, and leaving Gu Zhirong outside to dry in this way also makes the world feel that this Miss Gu Wu must be quite cold at home, has no status, and has been forgotten.
Gu Zhirong looked at the sky, the twilight on the horizon was getting heavier, and the street was a little gray. She always has no reason to fulfill the wishes of the second and fourth misses, and really makes outsiders feel that her situation in the house is really so embarrassing, right?
She thought for a while and said, "Cai Qing, you go outside and see if there is anyone who hires a carriage, hire one over, and we will go back by ourselves." ”
Cai Qing thought about it, and he could only do this. She told her young lady to wait where she was, and she would go back as soon as she went.
Gu Zhirong stood leaning against the door, only to feel that his head was getting heavier and heavier, and the soles of his feet had no strength at all, the sky was spinning, the earth was turning, as if he was stepping on a pile of cotton, and his eyes seemed to be foggy.
In the dimness, it seemed that a sound of footsteps was heard, and then two figures walked towards him. She tried to open her blurry eyes and carefully identify it, only then did she see that it was King Su.
"King Su, it's you, why are you still staying here and not leaving?Could it be, is there any beautiful woman waiting for you here?" Gu Zhirong, who was drunk, completely forgot the era he was in and his identity, and seeing King Su was like seeing a more familiar friend, and he suddenly became speechless.
The faces of the people present couldn't help but change slightly when they heard this.
"What are you doing here, why don't you speak?" Gu Zhirong couldn't help but be a little angry when he saw that he didn't react, "You are so strange, why don't you ignore people?" I'm greeting you. She staggered forward two steps, one staggering, unable to stand still, and her body was about to fall.
King Su reached out to help her.
Gu Zhirong only felt that a quiet aroma of bluegrass came to his nose, which was very good. She couldn't help but smile: "What perfume do you use, it smells so good?"
She was already charming, but when she was drunk, her cheeks were crimson, her eyes were blurred, and she was even more beautiful. Now half-leaning on King Su, the soft fragrance of warm jade is in his arms, which makes King Su, who has always been full of determination, also feel a little swaying.
"Miss Gu, why are you here alone?" King Su helped her to stand up, and when he saw that she was alone, he felt very strange, and couldn't help asking, "Didn't the government send a carriage to pick you up?"
"Are you asking about my coachman?" Gu Zhirong smiled and shook his head, "My coachman is a gambler, and he definitely doesn't know where to gamble this time." However, I'm not alone, I also have a girl named Cai Qing, and she is now out looking for a car. ”
King Su nodded, understanding the reason why she stayed alone. I wanted to leave here, but I wasn't too worried that she would stay here as a weak woman, not to mention that she was still drunk. After thinking about it, he said, "Miss Gu, since your carriage has not arrived, if it is getting dark today, according to this king, you can take this king's carriage back to your house." ”
Gu Zhirong tilted his head, glanced at him, and suddenly smiled: "I can't see it, I didn't expect you to be cold on the surface, but you are still a warm-hearted person." Yes, yes, a good young man with a future. ”
As she spoke, she even took out a free hand and patted King Su on the shoulder to show her approval.
The people present looked inexplicable, and King Su couldn't cry or laugh, he pulled off her little hand and said, "Miss Gu, you are drunk, it seems that this king will send you home." ”
"Who said I was drunk?" Gu Zhirong really inherited the characteristics of all drunk people, and said that he was not drunk when he was drunk: "You said I was drunk? Which eye did you see that I was drunk? I was not drunk, I was really not drunk, I was sober, I knew you, you are the current King of Su, I heard that many girls like you, but you just ignore others, so many girls who admire you are broken." The third prince also said, as we all know, you are not close to women, why, do you have a habit of breaking sleeves and like men?"
The audience changed when they heard this, and Wei Bing on the side pressed his hand on the waist knife, if it wasn't for the fact that he didn't dare to act rashly without King Su's order, he would have drawn his knife and slashed at the Gu family girl in front of him.
"Miss, what are you talking about?" A terrible cry came from not far away, and then the pale Cai Qing took three steps and made two steps, and rushed over!
