Chapter 144: Night

Sunrise and sunset, every day is a cycle.

Now that it was dark, after all, Ma Jian had come from Chengdu to visit his old brother, Guo Jingda was happy in his heart, and now he had gone to prepare wine and food.

At this time, in the living room of Guo Jing's mansion, Liu Chan and Ma Jian were sitting upright, while Zhang Baoguan and others also left after packing up the carriage and horses, and now they are sitting next to the desk.

Smelling the faint fragrance of tea wafting from the teacup on the desk, Liu Chan squinted his eyes and looked very calm, while Ma Jian also held the teacup on the table, while sipping tea slightly, and nodded with satisfaction, only Zhang Bao stared at the teacup on the table with big eyes, and took a sip from time to time, but his eyes looked at the direction of the door, and he didn't forget to complain that Guo Jing didn't bring out the wine.

Just when Zhang Bao was complaining and looking at the direction of the door of the house, a team of servants walked in slowly with various dishes in their hands, and Zhang Bao showed a satisfied smile on his face, he knew that there would be wine next.

"Hehehe, I've kept you waiting." The servant had just filled everyone's desk with plates and wine glasses, and Guo Jing also walked in with a smile.

"I'm really tired of my brother." Seeing Guo Jing walk in, Ma Jian hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand, got up and hugged his fists.

"Don't bother, don't bother." Guo Jing hurriedly smiled and waved her hand, and also sat next to the desk full of dishes but empty seats.

"You have come here from thousands of miles, I am too late to be happy, where is the trouble to talk about!" Guo Jing is also a hospitable person, just sat down, looked at everyone and smiled, then raised his head and commanded at the door of the house: "Zhang An, is the wine ready?" ”

"Hey" Zhang An smiled and hurriedly walked in with the wine jar and a few servants, "Master, it's all ready." ”

Guo Jing nodded with satisfaction, and then boldly ordered: "Then what are you still doing in a daze, quickly pour wine for everyone." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang An hurriedly smiled and nodded, and quickly poured wine for Liu Chan and Ma Jian with a few servants holding the wine jar.

"How can you drink this point!" Seeing that the wine that the servant poured into his wine glass was not enough, Zhang Bao glared at the servant, snatched the wine jar from the servant's hand and said, "Take it, I'll pour it myself!" ”

"Silence and rudeness!" Seeing Zhang Bao snatching the wine jar in the servant's arms, Liu Chan opened his eyes suddenly and glared at Zhang Bao in a deep voice.

Listening to Liu Chan's slightly angry voice, Zhang Bao shrank his head, stared at Liu Chan with wide eyes and secretly looked at Liu Chan with a calm look, but muttered in a low voice full of grievances, "He didn't pour it full, this is not enough to drink." ”

"Hahaha." Listening to Zhang Baohan's voice, everyone laughed, and even Liu Chan looked at Zhang Baohan's appearance, and sighed helplessly and shook his head.

Guo Jing was stunned, and suddenly looked at Zhang Baohao and said with a smile: "This brother, don't worry!" When I came to my brother's place today, I didn't dare to say anything else, but this wine, my brother will take care of it tonight. ”

"Really?" Zhang Bao was still holding the snatched wine jar and looked at Guo Jing with surprise on her face.

"Hahaha." Guo Jing laughed loudly, and commanded in a blink of an eye: "Zhang An, go to the treasury and get another jar of wine for this brother." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Seeing that the old man was happy, Zhang An dared to be disappointed, and hurriedly promised to run outside.

"Hey, wait." Zhang Bao hurriedly got up and beckoned to Zhang An, who was running over.

Everyone looked at Zhang Bao who got up, and was slightly stunned, but Guo Jing smiled: "What? Is this brother afraid that he won't be able to finish drinking? ”

"Hey, hey." Zhang Baohan scratched her head with a smile, secretly glanced at Liu Chan, who was also puzzled and smiling, stretched out two thick fingers to Guo Jing in a blink of an eye, shrunk her head, and whispered: "That, can you take two altars?" ”

"Hahaha!" Everyone looked at Zhang Bao's movements, and was suddenly stunned, and then raised their heads and laughed, even Liu Chan shook his head with a smile.

"Hahaha." Guo Jing laughed and said loudly: "This brother's character is indeed cute and simple. ”

"Zhang An, go and get two more jars of wine." Guo Jing stabilized his laughter, commanded boldly, turned his eyes to Zhang Bao who was smiling at him, hurriedly stretched out three fingers, and then said boldly: "Slow, get three more jars of wine for this brother." ”

Stunned, Zhang An hurriedly ran out.

Hearing that he could drink three more jars of wine, Zhang Bao looked at Guo Jing and laughed twice, and said: "On the way, I thought that the eldest brother of the young man must be a bold person, and now it seems that I guessed correctly." ”

"Hahaha."

The crowd burst into laughter.

The whole dinner was carried out in an atmosphere of laughter, even Liu Chan couldn't help but drink two more glasses, and Zhang Bao directly hugged the wine jar and Guo Jing drank bitterly, he couldn't remember how many jars of wine he drank, he only knew that he was full tonight.

When the dinner was over, Guo Jing, who was dizzy, muttered some kind words, and was supported by the servant and walked towards his bedroom.

Liu Chan and the others also walked to their guest room under Zhang An's arrangement.

At this time, Zhang Bao and the others had already fallen asleep, and Liu Chan stood in front of his room and looked at the moonlight that was slightly starting to shine outside the window, and a gust of wind blew, which made his wine wake up a little.

"Will Gao Ding agree to annex?" Liu Chan looked up at the crescent moon by the window and muttered to himself, but no one answered his question, only a wisp of cool breeze blew in on the windowsill.

At this time, in the Meng Mansion, there was a knock in front of Meng Shuang's house.

"Sister, are you sleeping?"

"Wait."

Meng Shuang, who was sitting on the desk and tasting the new tea she had just bought today, naturally knew that it was her brother Meng Shu who knocked on the door, but she still answered coldly and walked in the direction of the door.

Gently opening the door of the house, a smell of wine rushed to his face, and Meng Shuang couldn't help frowning.

As if he didn't see Meng Shuang frowning, Meng Shu smiled and squatted next to the table where the tea was placed in Meng Shuang's house.

Meng Shuang gently closed the door of the house, then slowly walked over, sat opposite the desk, and then took out a new teacup from the side with a cold face.

"It's very alcoholic again, didn't you say, don't come into my room when you drink!" Although Meng Shuang's tone was a little reproachful, he still slowly poured a cup of tea and gently pushed it in front of Meng Shu.

"Hey, hey." Meng Shu held the teacup that Meng Shuang pushed to his side, and smiled slightly drunk, but sighed in a blink of an eye: "Sister, are you still angry with your eldest brother." ”

As if he hadn't heard Meng Shu's words, Meng Shuangxiang stretched out his jade fingers and took a shallow sip of tea from the teacup: "Why am I angry with you?" ”

"Of course, it's a matter of marriage with Soochow!" Meng Shu held the teacup excitedly, but then sighed and said, "Sister, if you really don't want to, we will withdraw from this marriage!" ”

"Humph!" Putting down the teacup fiercely, Meng Shuang's face became cold again, "It was you who married at the beginning, and now you let me withdraw from the marriage, what do you think of your sister!" ”

"No, no, no!" Meng Shu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm just watching my sister unhappy these days." ”

"I'm just a daughter's family, and my eldest brother is in charge of the marriage, so I'm happy if I have anything to be unhappy about."

Looking at Meng Shuang, who was still speaking coldly, Meng Shu suddenly felt soreness now, and said excitedly: "Since my father died, my eldest brother hasn't seen you smile, sister, what's wrong with you!" Didn't you like to laugh before? ”

Taking a deep breath, a trace of crystal flashed in Meng Shuang's eyes, he lowered his head gently, looked at the teacup under his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Big brother, don't think about it too much, I'm fine, you should drink less wine in the future, after all, you are the patriarch of our clan, okay, it's not too early, big brother rest early, I'm going to sleep too." ”

Looking at Meng Shuang's silent appearance, Meng Shu felt a burst of pain in his heart, grinned and burped, slowly got up, and said with a miserable smile: "Hehehe, it's Meng Shu's incompetence!" Dad, it's a child who is incompetent! ”

Meng Shu jumped over Meng Shuang's threshold with a miserable smile and staggered towards his courtyard.

Meng Shuang got up slowly, as if Meng Shu hadn't been here at all, gently closed the door, and slowly sat down next to the desk.

Looking down at the water vapor gradually rising from the teacup on the desk, it gradually blurred her eyes, and a drop of crystal tears slowly slipped into the teacup below.

"Dad, my daughter misses you so much! Actually, my daughter really doesn't want to get married," Meng Shuang muttered to herself, but all she answered was the ticking sound of tears falling onto the teacup, and the ticking teardrops slowly blended with the high-brewed new tea
