Still smiling, she said as she descended the steps: "Did you drink a lot?" It smells like a lot of wine. She stood beside Tao Xiang, looked at him, looked at Zhichen, and snorted, "Fortunately, the third brother is here, if the ninth brother is here, I'm afraid he would have hugged the table leg by this time." ”

She naturally took Tao Xiang's arm.

Tao Xiang looked at the jade bracelet on her thin white wrist and said, "It seems that there are a lot of good things in grandma's?" ”

When Jing Yi heard this, she withdrew her sleeves, revealing a small piece of slender white and tender wrist, and the jade bracelet was red all over, and it was red in the light. She smiled and showed Zhi Chen and Yan Lin, but her tone was towards Tao Xiang, and said, "Hmm." And what about the rarities...... Qiu Wei, do you remember bringing back the paperweight and pen holder? ”

Qiu Wei smiled and said, "I've brought them all back." Comet"

Jingyi said: "Quick, bring it to the third brother and third sister-in-law to see." ”

Qiu Wei smiled and went upstairs to get it, and Jingyi let Zhichen and his wife sit. She sat next to Tao Xiang and poured them the black tea and coffee that Zhang's mother brought them.

She's doing this very naturally.

Suo Yanlin looked at Jing Yi. In fact, they have been cultivated in this direction since a very early age, and in this life they are almost destined to be such elegant hostesses who can handle any scene. She looked at Tao Xiang again. He seemed to be just waiting for his cup to arrive at the end.

It was a short process, neither of them spoke, and if it weren't for the rustling of tea, the room would have been too quiet.

Jingyi looked at Yanlin—the third sister-in-law's eyes were a little worried—and changed the coffee to another cup, and she still said it was fragrant. It seems that I have finally found the right topic. The third sister-in-law said, she squinted at her third brother and said, "I just want to hire a western chef, but he refuses." Don't be extravagant just for the sake of convenience. ”

Jingyi listened and smiled.

The devotion is as if nothing happened.

Tao Xiang said that this is simple, that is, to find a good person, and it is not a problem to guide the law.

"Before I drank good coffee, I didn't drink less burnt rice soup." Tao Xiang didn't touch the coffee as usual, took a cup of black tea from Jing Yi's hand, and didn't drink it immediately.

It was Cheng Zhichen, who listened to them chatting easily, drank tea one after another, and drank two cups before putting it down.

Jingyi looked at him and said, "Third brother and third sister-in-law, stay, the weather is cold and the road is long." ”

Yan Lin said, "How can I disturb you? ”

"What's not bothering about this? I'm afraid that it will be rare to want such an opportunity in the future. Tao Xiang continued.

Yan Lin smiled and looked at Zhichen, but Zhichen did not object, and nodded and said, "Fortunately, I was prepared." Wait for someone to go to the car and bring our suitcase, the change of clothes is inside. ”

Zhichen said: "No wonder I was verbose for so long before going out, and I didn't bring the box when I got out of the car, so I planned to live here early in the morning?" ”

"Yes, but I'm worried about what if Little Ten doesn't leave us for the night? So I'm waiting for her to speak, so I can't save face, right? Suo Yanlin smiled.

"The third sister-in-law is really." Jing Yi smiled, and really ordered Tu Huyi to go out, saying, "Huyi, go and help bring things in, okay?" ”

Tao Xiang turned his head and followed: "By the way, let the pony bring two more jars of wine." ”

"Hey." Jing Yi whispered, reaching out and holding his arm, "Why is it going to be hit again?" It's late, isn't it good to let the third brother and third sister-in-law rest? ”

Tao Xiang felt that her palms were warm, and her voice was very soft, as if the chocolate had been melted, and it was a little bit from the tip of her tongue.

He said, "I know the amount of alcohol that the third brother drinks, and with my father, the third brother doesn't drink it." ”

Jingyi was about to say again, but Suo Yanlin said, "Just let them drink a little more." I see that your third brother also wants to drink. Rare. ”

Cheng Zhichen said slowly: "The home-brewed aged wine is many times better than the ones outside. ”

"That's it." Tao Xiang was talking to the pony waiting on the side, when he heard someone outside saying, "Zhichen didn't leave, right?" He said: "I'll just say, no matter how lively it is, the second brother and sister-in-law will not be left behind." ”

Ma Xingjian opened the door, and Tao Si and his wife stood at the door, with two jars at their feet.

Tao Si's face was already red, and he pointed to the wine jar, and said, "I went to the wine cellar and picked two jars for thirty years." Father said that we would not be happy to drink in front of him, and I thought that I would definitely not be able to leave tonight. Since you can't go, let's have a drink. Don't you let him drink this time, okay? Looking back, I finally came to the northwest for a trip, and I didn't have enough wine, so how inappropriate it was. ”

Yamei walked behind, and while he was talking, he had already entered the door, and followed Jingyi to call "third brother and third sister-in-law", and said a little angrily: "I just put Cerse to sleep, and this person is clamoring to come to drink." I was afraid that he would make trouble, and you wouldn't have a good rest, so I came along. ”

"No, it won't." Suo Yanlin smiled and said, "It's rare to gather in one place. Is Cersei okay? ”

"It's fine. It's just that it can't leave me for a while. I didn't come out until she was asleep. Can't stay long. Yamei sat down.

Jingyi went to tell Zhang's mother to prepare some side dishes in the kitchen.

No one would go to the dining room to sit down and drink, so they had to gather together in this little place in the living room. Jingyi is the hostess, but she doesn't drink; Although Yamei can drink but is inconvenient to drink, because she likes the fireplace, let people add wood to light the stove, she simply sits on the ground; Yan Lin was very happy, and took a big wine cup that was not so different from the men—Jing Yi sat next to Yamei, and as soon as the wine jar was opened, she felt that the aroma was almost conquering her...... It is a very strong and very rich taste, and it is said to be the aroma of wine, but it seems to be more than that. There are other indescribable breaths mixed in it, as if they are volatile layer by layer, making people feel intoxicated when they smell it.

Tao Xiang also took a large wine cup and handed it to Jing Yi.

Jingyi took it and looked at it, and there was only a shallow point inside.

Yan Lin looked at it and said deliberately: "Mu Zhi is stingy, what if she gives her more?" So much so. ”

Tao Xiang continued to pour wine and did not return the mouth.

Yan Lin said with a smile: "No wonder Zhichen even forgot to be reserved and polite, this wine is indeed fragrant." ”

Yamei said: "Well, the wine cellar at home, I don't know how many years, I heard grandma say that there is a wine cellar in this old house." Anyway, I can bring out the wine and drink it at any time, and it seems that there is no time to drink it dry. Probably because every year new sake is brewed and stored. The key to the wine cellar was in his mother's hand, and he asked for wine tonight, but his mother asked Ke'er to take the key to open it. I said that Lao Qi must have it here, so as not to let him alarm his mother, he said that he should personally pick and choose the reliable. That's what this man is. ”

"Mother didn't control us like that before." Tao Si smiled, glanced at Tao Xiang, and couldn't help but reveal his bottom, "How old is this guy?" I remember it was before I went to stay in the ocean. That day, I followed my grandfather to the wine cellar. Grandfather saw the beauty and drank a few more cups. When he came out, people only cared about the old lady and forgot about him. When I turned around, it was dark, and the family was ready to eat, and he was missing. At that time, he was naughty, and his father said that he didn't know where to go. thought that he couldn't escape being beaten by his father, who knew that he wouldn't be seen when he waited until Dingchang. Grandmother thought something was wrong and asked people to look around. Everyone was scattered, and they were almost about to turn Lanzhou City over, but my grandfather slapped his thigh and said I know where the baby is! ”

What Tao Si said was so interesting that even Tao Xiang listened carefully, not to mention the others who listened to the story for the first time.

"Where?" Suo Yanlin asked.

"In the cellar! My father personally led people down to the cellar to look for them. finally found the drunk and unconscious Lao Qi. He's fine, the family outside is on their backs, and he's asleep inside. But it was quite scary, and I don't know how much wine he drank secretly, and he slept for two days without opening his eyes. After changing several doctors, they all said that they were fed medicine to relieve hangover, which probably didn't matter. But grandma and mother are afraid, if something happens to this baby bump, then what will happen? Later, he woke up, and his grandmother was chanting Buddha! Do you know what the first thing you say when you wake up? Wine! Tao Si laughed, touched the cup in Cheng Zhichen's hand, who was almost laughing, and pointed at Tao Xiao and said: "But my grandfather told the truth, saying that if Lao Qi really got drunk in the wine cellar, the Tao family's reputation in the past few lives would be lost, and he would immediately change to the size of the wine bag and rice bag." ”

"How much alcohol did the seventh brother drink? Remember? Yamei asked with a smile.

"How can you remember that?" Tao Xiang also smiled.

"Jingyi has to watch it in the future, it's a big deal." Yamei touches Jingyi.

Jing Yi was holding the cup with her head down, and was touched by Yamei, the wine in the cup rippled, and the aroma was stronger.

"Hmm." She responded.

It's a very interesting little thing, look up at Tao Xiang who is drinking—he used to be such a naughty child, he will cause unexpected trouble...... They talked about the jokes they had made about drinking, and she thought about it, because she had barely touched alcohol, and if she did, it would probably be the only one.

She thought, and looked at Tao Xiang; He didn't turn his face to look at her—his sideburns were long, and his chin was even more angular when viewed from the side, always so uncompromising......

“…… Once upon a time, the best drinker was the eldest brother. It's late today, and if it's earlier, it's better to invite the eldest brother over. Tao Si said, her voice low.

Tao Xiang was silent.

Zhichen said: "When I saw my brother today, it has indeed changed a lot. ”

Jingyi thought to herself, then Tao Jun should also be at the dinner tonight.

Tao Si drank the wine in the wine cup violently, and buckled it upside down on the coffee table, making a loud noise.

Cheng Zhichen watched the wine that was shaken out of his wine cup fall on the coffee table, and remained silent.

Tao Xiang said: "Second brother." ”

"This revenge must be avenged." Tao Si said. The tone was many times lighter than the smell of wine, but no one took his words as wine. He held his knees, raised his head, and said, "Yamei, it's time for us to go back." ”

Yamei got up obediently, and without saying anything, came and stood behind him.

"Zhichen, you have to drink this wine." Tao Si smiled again. Cheng Zhichen drank the wine silently. Tao Si nodded and said, "You guys have a good rest." Tomorrow...... Let's keep drinking! ”

Tao Xiang wanted to help him get up, but Tao Si didn't need anyone.

Yamei also signaled that they didn't have to.

Tao Xiang knew what his second brother looked like after drinking, and he wasn't too worried.

They only watched Tao Si and Yamei leave hand in hand.

After they left, it was as if a cloud had suddenly blown into the previously bright sky, and the remaining four people had not spoken for a long time.

Tao Xiang only drank the wine slowly with Zhichen, cup after cup. Jing Yi saw that they didn't move the side dishes on the coffee table, so she gave them vegetables.

"I have a friendship with Brother Rim. The brother of the bridle is elegant and gentle, and his character is noble, and he has suffered this catastrophe, and his teachers and friends are all strangled by it, but fortunately, the brother of the bridle is tenacious, which is a great luck in misfortune. Zhichen said.

Tao Xiang was silent for a long time, as if he had enough of these words, before he said: "This place has been fighting for a long time, and although it has been peaceful in recent years, there are still big and small disputes. In the future, it is good if the wind is calm; When there is something, our Tao family is never afraid of things. ”

Toast.

The two drank the wine.

Suo Yanlin said: "It's not too early, there are still a lot of things to prepare tomorrow, so it's better to rest early." ”

"Okay, rest." Zhichen stood up.

Suo Yanlin remembered it and said to Tao Xiang: "The day after tomorrow is the right day, let's take Jingyi over tomorrow morning, okay?" ”

"I also want to visit Xia Zhixin in the hospital." Jingyi said.

"I went to the hospital on a big day, and I was afraid that the people would know about it. I had already visited him during the day, and he was recovering quickly. Suo Yanlin said.

"It's right to take a look." Tao Xiang said, looking at Jingyi, "I'll go with you." ”

Yan Lin didn't say anything.

Jingyi had already asked Zhang's mother to clean up the downstairs guest room. She sent her brother and sister-in-law to the door of the bedroom before coming back, and saw that Tao Xiang was still sitting on the sofa, holding on to the armrests, sitting upright as if she was in a meeting at the headquarters—although she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, it should have been so neat and dignified—she walked over, and Tao Xiang noticed that she tilted her head to look at her.

His face did not change, but his eyes were a little red, and he looked at her, and after a while said, "Grandma has given you all the things she likes." ”

Jingyi put the pen holder and paperweight on the coffee table in her arms.

When Qiu Wei took it down, they tasted it for a long time, but he didn't say anything. I thought he didn't care much, but he saw it all in his eyes.

"Let's go up and rest." She said she was going to go first.

Tao Xiang stretched out his long legs, put it on the footstool in front of her, and stopped her.

Jing Yi was caught off guard and almost tripped over, and the things in her arms fell to the ground.
