drown one's sorrows
Indoor and outdoor are completely two worlds, and as soon as Hatsu Tao entered, she felt the heat rushing to her face, instantly thawing her cold hands and stiff legs. Chu Tao rubbed her hands together and asked Xiaohong to untie her cloak, revealing the light green jacket and white collar inside. Xue Ziyong and Xue Ziwen were a little delirious, especially when Xue Ziyong saw the beautiful first peach, he stretched out his hand to pinch the face of the first peach, Xue Congjia quietly blocked in front of the first peach and poured Xue Ziyong a glass of wine.
Xile's cheeks were red, his eyes were blurred, teasing Xue Congjia, the slender jade hand touched Xue Congjia's arm all the way to the fingertips, Xue Congjia's left hand gently swept his fingers, pretending not to see Xile leaning on himself, and took a step back to widen the distance between the two.
Chu Tao couldn't wait to pull Xue Congjia to her side, she sat beside Xi Le, staring at a jar of wine on the table, this wine was golden in color, slightly green, with the unique aroma of medicinal herbs, fragrant and mellow. She asked, "What kind of good wine is this, so fragrant." ”
Xile said: "Sanchun bamboo leaf wine, a song of Kunji strings, this is bamboo leaf green." ”
Chu Tao smiled and drank a glass, Xue Ziwen stammered and said, "Sister Tao, this, this wine is very strong, you, don't drink so much." ”
Chu Tao's wine is not very good, but he loves to drink very much, so when it comes to the occasion of drinking, Liu will take strict care of her, fortunately, Chu Tao's wine is not bad, and it is good to fall asleep when drunk. She said, "It doesn't matter if you drink two glasses." ”
Xue Ziwen was not very clear, and said all the things he usually didn't dare to say with his tongue: "Sister Peach, you are so good-looking, as good-looking as a fairy in the sky." ”
Xile sarcastically said, "Have you ever seen a fairy in the sky? If you really like it, just ask your father for her. ”
Xue Ziwen waved his hand and said very honestly: "That's not good, she's stupid, she doesn't have a girl's family, she can't marry or ......."
It was really drunk and spit out the truth, and the first peach big lama poured himself another glass of wine, and said to Xile: "I don't have to worry about the princess's marriage, just take care of myself." ”
Xile slammed the wine cup on the table: "What do you mean by that?" How dare you talk to me like that? ”
"Arou!" Xue Ziwen was still a little sober, and interrupted Xile's words in time, he was dragged here by Xile tonight, he usually doesn't pay much attention to this proton who reads with him, and he doesn't get in the way of his own business if he is alone, but Xile is as infatuated with Xue Congjia as if he was tricked, so that his own brother has to cheer up to deal with these two people, seeing that Xue Ziyong and Xile are already very drunk, he thinks it's time to say goodbye.
Xile shook off the two maids who came up to help her, squinted at Chu Tao and said, "I'm not leaving, she hasn't left yet, why should I go first, I still have to drink again, don't get drunk tonight!" ”
Xue Ziyong had already fallen asleep on the table, snoring like thunder.
Xue Congjia, as the owner of this house, didn't say anything, he was a little sleepy, so he held his hands in front of his chest and leaned against the window to close his eyes and recuperate, listening to Chu Tao and they were noisy here.
Finally, Xue Ziwen took the two drunks Xue Ziyong and Xile back to the house, Chu Tao also staggered and held Xiaohong Xiaozi's hand and prepared to leave, she was very happy tonight, she not only made peace with Xue Congjia, but also tasted such a delicious wine, it was really fast! After tonight, there are no worries!
Not long after the three of them left the Qizhu Pavilion, Chu Tao smirked on the road, obviously drunk, Xiao Hong urged Xiao Zi to rush back to cook the sobering soup for Chu Tao to drink, this drunk will not get up tomorrow, Mr. Zhu will have to play the board again.
After Xiaozi left, Chu Tao suddenly remembered that the apology gift she had prepared for Xue Congjia had not yet been given to Xue Congjia, so she asked Xiaohong to go back and ask for it. Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, she thought about how to apologize to Xue Congjia, and thought about it to prepare to embroider a purse for him to apologize, most of the entire purse was made by Xiaohong, only a small peach embroidered on it was from the handwriting of Chu Tao, the stitches were crooked, it took her several days to complete, no matter what, it was also considered to be intentional, I originally wanted to find a chance to give him, but it has been delayed, and now it is a good opportunity for Xue Congjia.
Xiaohong said, "Miss, why don't you send someone to send him over tomorrow?" ”
Chu Tao said: "No, you must give it to him today." You go and ask for it, I'll wait for you here. ”
Xiaohong said worriedly: "It's such a cold day, you can go back with me first, and then I'll send the purse over?" ”
Chu Tao still shook his head, and said with a firm heart: "No, I will hand it over to him with my own hands, you go and come back quickly." ”
Xiaohong had no choice but to agree.
It's really cold tonight, Chu Tao stood outside for a while and her nose was red from the cold, and she sneezed three times in a row, shaking the snow on the branches of the tree and falling several pieces.
Chu Tao was hit by the snow on the tree, she moved a small step to the side cautiously, after a while the snow fell, Chu Tao took small steps and moved to the other side, Xue Congjia came out of the yard and saw Chu Tao clumsily sliding around on the ground like a caterpillar.
No one was playing with Chu Tao, so she jumped around to flatten the snow around her, jumped left and right, and muttered something while stepping on the snow.
Xue Congjia approached only to hear her muttering, "Let you push the swing off, I'll trample you to death."
What is this stupid girl doing? What about the people around her? What is a person bouncing around here? In case something happens to her here, and she can't escape from herself, Xue Congjia thought of this, and couldn't wait to sweep Jiang Chutao away with a broom.
The strength of the wine gradually increased, Chu Tao stumbled a few steps, if it wasn't for Xue Congjia to support her, she would definitely fall into the snowdrift.
It's not so much a support, it's better to hug, because Chu Tao is facing away from Xue Congjia, so when her feet slipped and she was about to fall, Xue Congjia didn't think about it and wrapped Chu Tao from behind with lightning speed, so an embarrassing situation was formed in which Chu Tao was held in a daze and Xue Congjia wrapped her waist tightly with both hands.
The first peach has the unique smell of Du Ruo's sleeve fragrance, Du Ruo, white peony, hibiscus flowers are overflowing, as if smelling the white dew in the early morning in the garden, the spring drizzle of the dense water vapor, indifferent and quiet, thick and suitable. Chu Tao is usually a very lively and active girl, such a restrained and light fragrance seems to be incompatible with her, but what is strange is that such a quiet and clear fragrance is not contradictory to her.
This aroma lingered around Xue Congjia, he was in a trance, the first peach looked round, but when she really hugged it, it was a soft, light little ball, didn't she look so round?
Chu Tao didn't dare to move, she suspected that she had turned red from head to toe, not like a braised prawn, Xue Congjia was more than a head taller than herself, her whole body was embedded below Xue Congjia's chin, Chu Tao had never felt Xue Congjia's breath so close, he had a slight aroma of bamboo leaves, like an invisible snake locking Chu Tao's throat, making her unable to move.
"You strangled me...... I don't know how long it took, Hatsu Tao spoke.
Xue Congjia suddenly turned back and let go of her hands, so Chu Tao sat on the ground again, she bared her teeth and cried out in pain.
Xue Congjia had to drag Chu Tao up from the ground again. Xue Congjia was slightly angry: "There is heavy snow tonight, and you have drunk so much wine, if the wine comes up and falls to the ground, you will freeze to death in less than an hour." ”
"I ...... I'm so sober! "Chu Tao's mouth is stubborn.
"I can't find you if you want to die, but you don't want to die in my territory." Xue Congjia said.
Obviously, if she was kind enough to persuade her, why was she so cold and annoying in Xue Congjia's mouth? What did this guy grow up eating, eating ice cubes? Chu Tao was choked by him until he couldn't speak.
Xue Congjia took a few steps back, and from time to time looked at the figures of Xiao Hong and Xiao Zi searching in the distance, and he asked, "What about the two red and purple maids beside you?" ”
Chu Tao said: "I have something to give you, and I asked Xiaohong to go back and ask for it." ”
Xiaohong appeared very timely, she rushed to Chu Tao's side out of breath, Chu Tao took the purse, solemnly broke Xue Congjia's fingers, and put the small purse in Xue Congjia's palm, Xue Congjia's eyes showed doubt.
Chu Tao said: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is my fault, I shouldn't use you to block my rotten peach blossoms, although I can't stop it...... But I also suffered a lot, my father beat me, my mother used family law to serve me, I will help you bear the sin you ......" Before the words were finished, Xue Congjia interrupted: "I don't have to suffer that sin." ”
Chu Tao ignored him and continued: "Anyway, I sincerely apologize to you, and we will write off the past things." If you accept this purse, it means that you forgive me. ”
Xue Congjia said: "I don't want it." ”
Chu Tao's eyes widened, she Jiang Chu Tao embroidered a purse for the first time when she was so big, and she didn't give it to her father or her mother, didn't that Xiaohong boast that she was the first beauty in Jinling, then this is the purse sent by the first beauty in Jinling, he didn't want it!
It's so shameless!
Xiaohong hurriedly relieved the siege on the side and said: "Our young lady's ten fingers do not touch the spring water, and she is not allowed to take a needle in the General's Mansion, for fear of stabbing the delicate fingers of the young lady, but now she has embroidered a purse, which shows the weight of affection." ”
Chu Tao thought to herself, this Xiaohong is too good at pulling calves, she really doesn't like to hold needles and threads in the house, but her mother forces her to do needlework every day.
"This purse took Miss's energy to embroider for seven hundred and forty-nine days, and Miss's eyes are about to burn out after staying up." Xiaohong said seriously.
Xue Congjia pinched the purse twice, and felt a bulge in the lower right corner, if you don't look carefully, you can't really see that there is a pattern embroidered, and she embroidered this thing after embroidering for seven seven forty-nine days?
Xue Congjia's disgust and disdain were written on his face, and Chu Tao felt that his self-esteem was rubbed under his feet, which was too embarrassing! It is better to give it to a cat and a dog than to give it to him, if it is given to Sun Yihao, it is estimated that he will put it on the incense table and worship it! So Chu Tao was annoyed and said angrily: "Don't forget it, give it back to me, I'll take it back to the house and give it to Ah Huang to wear!" ”
Ah Huang is a janitor dog raised by the housekeeper, but it is usually useless to ask for it, most of the time Ah Huang is lazy in the sun at the door of the side house.
Xiaohong snorted and laughed, Miss really has you.
Xue Congjia smiled faintly and said, "I'll take it, don't make trouble, go back quickly." ”
