Chapter 301: Inconvenience
Yu Shu's amount of wine is not bad, but the osmanthus is intoxicating, and after a pot, he felt a little dizzy, so he held his cheeks in one hand and stretched out the cup in front of Xue Rui with the other, and asked him to continue pouring wine for the concubine, while babbling some inconsequential things to him:
"The emperor rewarded my godfather with a gold plaque, you don't know how happy he is, hehe, the first thing he does every morning is to go next door to see the plaque, and the last thing before going to bed at night is to go to see the plaque, three or four times a day, and the night is saying that the dream is shouting, 'Thank you, Lord Longen, which makes my godmother very unhappy, although she didn't say anything, but I look at it, in two days, I have to drive my godfather to sleep with the gold plaque."
"Ha Luha," Xue Rui laughed, filled her with wine, put down the wine jug and said, "Have you discussed the date of hanging the plaque, I will send someone to send a congratulatory gift when the time comes."
Yu Shu brought the wine glass to his mouth, waved his hand at him, took a sip and said: "There are a few days left in this month, I have checked the days that are not suitable for hanging red heads, well, it will be February, hiccup."
After saying that, she hiccuped, and she didn't think she was happy to drink like this, so she took the wine jug herself, took three glasses and filled them one by one, first touched a glass with Xue Rui, and then held a cup in one hand, clinking glasses with herself, and hummed words in her mouth:
"After this cup, another cup, after this cup, and three more cups"
Xue Rui watched her compete with the wine, and did not dissuade her, accompanying her, but he only drank one cup after she drank three glasses, and occasionally put a chopstick side dish on the plate in front of her. When Yu Shu saw the dishes on the plate, he would stop to eat a sip of wine, and then talk to him about some trivial matters, because she spoke plainly and funny, and Xue Rui laughed when she listened.
He thought that she was upset in her heart, and that she would complain to him after drinking, who thought that she would be so carefree, and let him be ready to comfort him, but not a word came in handy, but was amused by her.
"I set up a fortune-telling stall in Qiu Kwai Fong, you know the way, I still remember when I first came out of the stall, once, people on the street collected land rent, it was the Evergreen Gang that was later brought by you because of the crowd gambling easy to be served by you, those few ruffians asked me for land rent, fortunately I didn't bring money that day, they smashed my stall, I was angry at the time, I couldn't wait to rush to the front and punch them."
"Did you rush up then?"
Yu Shu rolled his eyes: "Of course I'm stupid without you, I can't beat them, and it's not for nothing that I will be beaten when I rush up." It's you, you face three or four hooligan ruffians alone, you try, don't run away. β
Xue Rui paused the wine glass that was brought to his lips, and couldn't help but correct her: "Ah Shu, I'm not so useless, I can still handle a few people."
Although he is not a martial arts master, he has worshipped the master who practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he will not be scared to turn around and run away when he sees a few hooligans.
Yu Shu pouted and said, "You are not afraid of three or four, what if it is a group?"
Xue Rui coughed lightly and said, "You forget, I know martial arts."
"What's wrong with martial arts, if there are more ants, you can crush an elephant, you are not the third prince with three heads and six arms, and you have to run if there are more people." Yu Shu smacked his wine and insisted on disagreeing with him.
β.β Xue Rui secretly told himself that this girl was drunk, don't bother with her, and couldn't help but ask her:
"Who is the third prince?"
Yu Shu shook his hand and said, "It's Nezha."
Xue Rui didn't hear clearly: "What, what?"
"Nezha is Nezha, what's the matter," Yu Shu bared her tongue and brought the wine glass to the bottom of her chin, she was drunk at this time, but she was not in a trance and remembered that this Da'an Dynasty did not exist in history, presumably "Journey to the West" had not yet come out, and Nezha was not yet famous.
So she said to him with great interest: "This Nezha is a heavenly general in the Heavenly Palace, because his father is in the position of the king of heaven, and he is the third in the family, so people call him the third prince, he has a trick to learn, can evolve three heads and six arms, very powerful, but unfortunately can't beat a monkey."
Xue Rui nodded, originally just asking, but listening to her, he was interested in listening, "What monkey, so powerful?"
Yu Shu laughed, put down the wine glass, clasped his hands, put them under his chin, squinted his eyes, and said to him slowly:
"I think there was a place called Huaguo Mountain, where there was a stone monkey, cultivated into a fine, able to speak human nature, in order to seek longevity, this monkey trekked through mountains and rivers in Taoism Xianmen an ancestor learned spells, the ability of ghosts and gods, the gods in the sky were very jealous of him, so they tried to recruit this splash monkey, who knew that Lu Dao actually caused a natural disaster, that group of immortals deceived him to serve in the heavenly palace, but only arranged a horse errand to deal with him, secretly laughed at him, this monkey has the ability to reach the sky, but was fooled by a group of gods, Later, he found out, and in a fit of rage, he made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace and smashed the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, and laterββ"
Xue Rui just heard the funny place, and suddenly saw her close her eyes, there was no sound, the room was quiet, he thought she was thinking about the story behind, but after waiting for a while, he didn't listen to her, he tentatively called her softly:
"Shu?"
"Hmm." Yu Shu's eyelids moved, and he answered lazily, but he didn't open his eyes.
Xue Rui saw that she was not asleep, and then looked at the few pots of wine on the table, knowing that she had drunk a lot, and felt that it was almost over, so he asked her:
"Still drinking?"
"No, that's enough." Yu Shu covered his face with both hands, wiped his face, and was a little sober, then stood up on the edge of the table and shook his body, barely standing firmly, and said to Xue Rui vaguely:
"I'll go upstairs and get some sleep."
Xue Rui looked at her flushed face and could see that she was in a better mood than before drinking, so he stood up and said, "Okay, I'll send you up."
As he spoke, he called the maid who was waiting outside the door to come in, and helped Yu Shu, who was unsteady, to go upstairs, he followed behind, and sent her to the door before stopping, looking at her thin back, and suddenly stopped her:
"Ashu."
"Huh?" Yu Shu put his left and right hands on Xiaoqing and Xiaodie's shoulders, and turned his head a little dazed, and saw Xue Rui standing at the door of the sunny room, holding the door frame with one hand, and grinning at her with a row of white teeth:
"You're kind of like the monkey."
Yu Shu blinked his eyes, and he didn't know if he didn't understand his words, the corners of his mouth moved, so he turned around and hugged the two little maids, and dragged into the bedroom.
Lying on his back on the soft bed and leaving the matter of taking off his shoes and covering the quilt to the maid, Yu Shu exhaled very comfortably, closed his eyes, and muttered softly for a long time:
"That monkey is much fiercer than me."
Xue Rui stood in the corridor on the second floor and looked at the small pond in the courtyard downstairs by the railing, and when he heard the sound of the door closing behind him, he turned his head and asked the maid who came out of it with a tea tray:
"Did you sleep?"
"The girl is asleep, my son, the slave and maid go to the kitchen to serve the sobering soup."
Xue Rui looked at the door and said, "No need to let her sleep, today's osmanthus brew is made in the palace, it is intoxicating but not hurtful, and when she wakes up, make her a pot of tea to drink."
"Yes."
Xue Rui instructed the maid, then turned around and went downstairs, and when he reached the staircase, he saw Lin Fu walking up with the corner of his robe.
"Childe."
"What's the matter?"
Lin Fu hesitated and said, "Yes, the son who came with the girl from the Lianfang room that day came just now, saying that he was looking for the girl and was stopped by the little one."
Xue Rui knew who he was talking about, frowned, and asked, "What about people?"
"Just upstairs in front of the 'wind, the font size private room.
Xue Rui nodded, and went to the front alone.
Yu Shu drank for almost an hour, it was already afternoon, there were few guests in the front building, and there were not many people eating, all of whom came to drink good wine.
Xue Rui went up to the second floor, walked to the door of the Fengzi private room, and saw that the door was half open, revealing half of the Cuishan screen, and he walked in without knocking on the door.
As soon as he entered, he saw Jing Chen sitting alone at the table, there was a teapot brewed on the table, but the cups were buckled one by one and did not move, and the two guards who were always with him were gone, and I don't know if they were thrown off by their master, or where they went.
As soon as Jingchen saw Xue Rui coming in, he stood up and looked behind him, but he didn't see Yu Shu's figure.
"Where's the little fish?" He asked him, "Isn't she with you?"
Xue Rui didn't answer, but walked to him and sat down, took a teacup and poured tea, and said unhurriedly: "Where is she and what does it have to do with you?"
The ridicule in his words was obvious, Jing Chen heard it, opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer, he could only ask again: "I want to see her, is she here?"
Xue Rui held the teacup in his hand and raised his eyes to look at him: "What did you see her doing?"
Jingchen said: "I have something to say to her."
"What are you going to say to her?"
Forced by him to ask, Jing Chen pursed the corners of his mouth and said, "This is my matter with Xiaoyu, and it is inconvenient to tell you."
Xue Rui said: "Don't say it if it's inconvenient, anyway, it's not convenient for Ah Shu to see you now."
Hearing this, Jing Chen's eyebrows furrowed, "Why is it inconvenient to see me?"
Xue Rui smiled slightly: "This is my business with her, and it is inconvenient to tell you."
β.β Jingchen looked at Xue Rui, turned around and was about to go out, not planning to waste time with him here.
"It's useless for you to break into the back now," Xue Rui said, successfully stopping Jingchen in front of the door.
He looked back at Xue Rui, with no expression on his face, but it was obvious that if Xue Rui teased him again, he would inevitably break into the back to find someone.
Xue Rui put away his joking look and said seriously: "Ah Shu is drunk and sleeping in the room, don't you go and quarrel with her, if you have anything to say, wait until tomorrow."
Jing Chen's eyes changed, "She's drunk?"
Xue Rui nodded, pretending to tell him ignorantly: "At noon, you left Dali Temple, I will go back to you after dealing with things, and on the way, I saw her walking alone to the west of the city, so I took her back, she seemed to be in a bad mood and drank a lot of wine." I was about to ask you, what's wrong with her, didn't you go together? Why did she come back alone. β
Jing Chen's eyes moved to the side, he was silent for a while, and said to Xue Rui: "I'll look for her tomorrow."
After that, he turned around and left, and did not stay, which made Xue Rui, who originally thought that he would stay here and wait for Yu Shu to wake up, a little surprised, but it was also exactly what he wanted, it was really Jingchen who wanted to stay, and he had to find a way to get rid of people.
Drinking the tea in his hand, Xue Rui also went out with his hands behind his back, he was busy dealing with the Ji family's case in the past few days, he didn't have much rest, just while Yu Shu was drunk, he slept and woke up to discuss business with her.
