Chapter 73: Say thank you and swap places
Lu Shiqi didn't care much, and said lightly: "You just rush at this speed, we all know how to get to Wading Town, and we also know that the inn where we stay will not be lost." Cousin's speed, no matter how you drive the carriage, you can't catch up. He was more concerned about why Wei Chixuan behaved so abnormally, since he left Pingwa Town, he looked a little weird, maybe it should be said that since he entered Pingwa Town, he was not very normal, as if he had completely lost his usual calmness.
Until he entered the inn where he was staying, Xiao Shi didn't see Yu Chixuan again. However, because Lu Shiqi was sitting in the carriage, the atmosphere was more lively than before, and he didn't feel difficult to talk and laugh along the way. When the sun completely sank into the mountain, the group finally entered Shishui Town, and did not dismount and drive slowly like last time in Pingwa Town, but rushed all the way to the Dongsheng Inn where they stayed before the carriage stopped.
Xiao Cui pouted and climbed out of the carriage, just now she saw the town gate and wanted to come down to take a look, but Lu Gongzi completely disagreed, and even the young lady disagreed. Lying on the wheel, she felt that this town was more lively than the last time, and now it was almost dark, and there were still many people on the road, and there were many lanterns lit on both sides, and they were bright everywhere, but unfortunately she couldn't get out of the car and look slowly.
Leng Ruolan looked at Xiao Cui with a stern face, and said in a rare deep voice, "Xiao Cui! Don't look around, keep up. Xiao Cui listened to Leng Ruolan's cold face, felt a little aggrieved, and responded weakly "yes", and followed them to the inn. Leng Ruolan frowned, let go again for a moment, and finally couldn't bear to scold, and said in a soft voice: "Uncle is already much earlier than us, if you don't hurry in, I'm afraid you'll have to wait, you can bear with it today, and I'll take you out to play when I have time in the future." "I don't want to walk around the street in order to find an opportunity to escape, but today Wei Chixuan's demeanor is not more than usual, as if he is angry, he still doesn't provoke him less, so as not to cause trouble.
Xiyu saw that Leng Ruolan softened again, and shook her head disapprovingly, Miss is too indulgent of this girl, which will make her more and more presumptuous. stared at Xiao Cui with a calm face for a while, and said stiffly: "Xiao Cui, Miss has been running around on the road for a day, you let her save her worry and settle down!" ”
After listening to Leng Ruolan's words, Xiao Cui knew that she was wrong, and when she heard Xiyu's words, she lowered her head to her chest quickly. replied sullenly: "Xiaocui is wrong, Miss, you punish Xiaocui." "I have repeatedly told myself to be sensible and follow the rules, but it makes it difficult for the young lady to do it. Fortunately, my uncle is not here now, if I show my uncle, I am afraid that I will blame the young lady for not disciplining the maid.
Leng Ruolan sighed and softened more and more, "Okay, you can pay attention to it in the future." Next time I have time, I'll take you out to have some fun. ”
Xiaocui felt very ashamed, Miss was so good to herself, but she always made her angry. "Hmm. Xiaocui is not greedy to play, Xiaocui accompanies Miss, Miss comes out, Xiaocui comes out. Leng Ruolan glanced sideways at her and didn't say anything more.
After a while, the group had walked into the inn lobby. Looking around, I saw Yu Chixuan sitting alone by the window pouring himself a drink, the table was full of dishes, and the table next to him was also serving dishes, obviously waiting for Leng Ruolan and them.
Lu Shiqi saw Yu Chixuan, walked over quickly, and sat opposite him. Yu Chixuan looked up at him, continued to drink, and did not speak. Lu Shiqi smelled the aroma of the wine, his saliva was about to flow down, the fragrance of the immortal wine brewed by the Dongsheng Inn was still so strong, he held his mouth and looked at the wine pot with his eyes, "Cousin, what does it mean for you to drink alone, it is better for the younger brother to drink two glasses with you." Without waiting for Wei Chixuan to answer, he turned his head and called the man and asked him to bring a few more wine glasses. The guy shouted, "Okay! Wait, officer, I'll get it for you. After speaking, "Dong Dong" ran down and took a few wine glasses and put them next to Lu Shiqi, "Guest officer, do you need to fill them up?" Lu Shiqi waved him down, reached out and took the wine jug and poured three glasses of wine in a row.
At this time, Leng Ruolan and the others also sat down, and according to the way they sat last time, Leng Ruolan and Zhang Ruitai followed Lu Shiqi to sit at Wei Chixuan's table, and the rest of the people sat at the table next to them. Leng Ruolan couldn't help but be a little nervous when she saw Lu Shiqi pour three glasses of wine in one go, the scene of that night in the cave room was still vivid, and now she really didn't dare to drink.
Seeing this, Wei Chixuan frowned slightly, squinting at Lu Shiqi, waiting for his next move. What I thought of in my heart was the night of the cave room, Leng Ruolan's delicate state of pouring a cup, and he didn't want others to see her side, there was no reason, but this idea suddenly popped up.
I saw that after Lu Shiqi poured the wine, he directly picked up one of the glasses and poured it up, sighing: "Good wine!" Then he put the wine glass back on the table, refilled it, and then picked up a glass and handed it to Zhang Ruitai. Then he picked up his own glass of wine and said, "Thank you today, this cup is for you, it's done." He looked up and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhang Ruitai looked sideways at Wei Chixuan, and saw that his face was as usual, so he didn't push, picked up the wine and put it on the end of his nose to taste the aroma of wine, and said with a smile: "Why should Lu Shao be polite." Although he knew that the biggest contributor to this matter was the Chaoyan brothers, Zhang Mou would not refuse to let Lu Shao respect this fine wine when he touched his light. After saying that, he raised the wine in both hands to Lu Shiqi, then raised his head and drank it all, and sighed: "It is indeed good wine!" This Dongsheng immortal really deserves its name. ”
Lu Shiqi praised: "Refreshing! Picking up the flask, he continued to fill his wine glass, and asked strangely, "Brother Ruitai hasn't drunk Pinxian?!" ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Ruitai showed a look of pity, "It's a pity, I've come to Dongsheng a few times, but I've never tasted this Dongsheng immortal!" "Once, even the wine was already good, but someone disturbed the wine!
"Then Shi Qi will come to have a few more drinks with Brother Ruitai, and I have already expressed my gratitude to Brother Ruitai."
"Lu Shao, the person you want to be grateful for should be Brother Chaoyan, I'm ashamed to say it, if it weren't for him, I really wouldn't have imagined that there would be such a danger behind the dense forest."
"Chaoyan brother Shi Qi will never forget him, you two will be my Lu Shiqi's benefactors from now on, just say anything in the future." Lu Shiqi said and glared at Yu Chixuan, hum, it's still my cousin, he left me to fend for myself! It's a pity that a pair of captains Chi Xuan's cold gaze shrank back in fright.
Seeing this situation, Leng Ruolan thought to herself, this wine shouldn't be my turn. Sure enough, after Lu Shiqi weakly retracted his gaze, he showed a sneer, looked at Zhang Ruitai and said, "Brother Ruitai, you drink first, and I'll go to pay a cup to Brother Chaoyan first." Then he picked up his glass with one hand and the rest of the glass with the other, and got up and walked to the table next to him. As he walked, he shouted loudly: "Brother Chaoyan, come, I will toast you." Today, thanks to you and Brother Ruitai's rescue, Shi Qi is really grateful. ”
Chao Yan stared at the wine glass that Lu Shiqi had handed to him, stopped, stood up and stretched out his hand to take it, and said expressionlessly: "Young Master Lu doesn't have to be polite," but he still held the cup in both hands and exchanged respects with Lu Shiqi, and said, "It's done." "Drink it all. Lu Shiqi praised: "Good amount of wine!" ”
Behind her, Leng Ruolan suddenly stood up, forced herself to ignore the direct gaze of Yu Chixuan and Zhang Ruitai, and said calmly: "Xianggong, why don't I change positions with Chaoyan?" That way, you can drink more to your heart's content. ”
Lu Shiqi and Chaoyan turned to look at Leng Ruolan in surprise, and Zhang Ruitai's eyes also turned from doubt to surprise, only Yu Chixuan still inquired. The air became a little tight, and after a while, Yu Chixuan responded lightly, "Hmm." , "Then he turned his gaze away and stopped looking at Leng Ruolan.
Leng Ruolan breathed a sigh of relief, and was slightly blessed, so she left her seat, walked to Chaoyan's position, and said, "Chaoyan, you go over there to accompany the prime minister and them to drink," paused for a moment and turned to Lu Shiqi, "Tonight, you will respect your benefactor, I can't drink, so I'll come here to eat with them." ”
Lu Shiqi looked at Leng Ruolan hesitantly, turned his head and glanced at Wei Chixuan again, and then laughed and said, "Okay, then Shi Qi will thank your cousin and sister-in-law for it." After calling the guy to exchange the tableware between the two, he pulled Chaoyan over and said, "Come, Brother Chaoyan, let's not live up to my cousin's good intentions, the three brothers are not drunk tonight." After Lu Shiqi got the wine, he had already excluded Wei Chixuan, who still remembered that he had just said that he wanted to drink two glasses with him.
Chao Yan called out hesitantly, "Miss?!" "How can one of his subordinates sit in the master's place?!
Leng Ruolan said lightly, "It doesn't matter, I won't drink, it will only make everyone uncomfortable there, it is better for you to accompany them and get their own place." And he was so close to Yu Chixuan, he couldn't relax and eat well.
Zhang Rui Taixiao looked at Wei Chi Xuan, who was drinking and eating by himself, with interest, hooked his lips, and said loudly, "Brother Chaoyan, come here, it's rare to be able to drink such good wine." The castle master doesn't mind anymore, why are you so persistent. After hearing this, Chao Yan hesitated for a moment, and responded respectfully to Leng Ruolan, "Yes." In this way, the two officially changed positions.
Xiyu and Xiaocui saw Leng Ruolan sitting down next to them, and hurriedly called, "Miss." Xiao Shi also straightened his face and called out respectfully, "Madam." Leng Ruolan smiled lightly: "You continue to eat, don't worry about me." As he spoke, he naturally picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate quietly. The other three glanced at each other, and then gently picked up the dishes and chopsticks and continued to eat, but their movements were much gentler than before, for fear of making a noise. Later, occasionally Xiyu would put some vegetables into Leng Ruolan's bowl, Leng Ruolan always smiled at her, and then ate it in her mouth. Later, Xiao Cui couldn't hold back and began to talk again, Leng Ruolan not only didn't cool down, but also joined her, so the other two also completely relaxed, and the meal was quite relaxed and happy.
On the other side, after Lu Shiqi loudly ordered the man to serve two more pots of wine, he pulled Chao Yan to sit down in front of Leng Ruolan, obviously intending to completely abandon Wei Chixuan.
