Chapter Seventy-Five: Far and Near
Under the apricot tree in full bloom, Chai Shirong was dressed in a crescent white robe, smiling and sunny, and standing upright, quite chic.
"Hey, isn't that the third young master in the Chengguo Mansion?"
"yes, he's here too."
"Who is that man who walked towards the Third Young Master?"
At this time, there are many people who play in the apricot forest, and they come here to play in their spare time, and they are naturally wealthy people, including many children of officials and nobles.
However, most of these people knew Chai Shirong, but they had never seen Jiang Long.
There were a few gorgeously dressed young men who had some friendship with Chai Shirong, and when they saw them here, they naturally stepped forward to say hello.
is to take the guards, and walk in the direction of Chai Shirong with his friends.
"You're finally here."
Chai Shirong waited for Jiang Long to approach, grabbed his arm and pulled him into the apricot forest, "Hong Tiezhu, that foodie, saw that you were late, and he yelled that he was hungry, he was a reckless man who didn't pay attention to his face, and the rest of us were laughed at by Miss Gongzi next to him." β
Jiang Long smiled dumbly, beckoned behind him as he walked, and motioned to the mother-in-law and maids to hurry up and bring over the wine and food they brought when they left the house.
The jade hairpin and the treasure vase wanted to have a good time here today, so they naturally prepared a sumptuous wine banquet.
However, because Jiang Long was sick and weak, he brought more food, and only brought three jars of wine.
And this wine is also for the Jingfu guards to drink.
"Let a few brothers wait for a long time, it's the younger brother's or isn't."
Shuttling through the apricot grove and walking more than ten zhang away, Jiang Long just saw Fan Ren and the others, and without waiting for them to speak, he first confessed his guilt.
"Since you know your mistake, let's do three bowls of reparation first!" Hong Tiezhu shouted loudly.
Jiang Long didn't say anything yet, the jade hairpin who followed closely behind was shocked and white, in the past, his young master rarely drank alcohol, even if he accompanied the old lady to drink during the festival, he only used a white jade wine glass with a big thumb belly.
If you really drink three bowls, can your little master still have a life?
So Yuchai immediately ignored her identity as a maid, and just screamed: "It's just that your black charcoal head is a wine bag and a rice bag, do you still want my little master to learn from you?" β
Jiang Long was surprised when he heard this, in the past, the jade hairpin was always gentle and quiet.
He wouldn't have been surprised if it had been a vase with a lively personality and sometimes a spicy personality.
Hong Tiezhu, a reckless man, had big round eyes, and he glared at the jade hairpin fiercely.
And Gunty Buck, the new Jianglong's personal guard, was instantly stunned.
Black charcoal head?
He looked away.
Hong Tiezhu is indeed a black-faced man, but he is still darker than him.
However, everyone knew that Yuchai was accusing Hong Tiezhu, so they didn't notice his abnormality.
Yuchai went out today to dress up deliberately, her pretty face was white, and a golden butterfly hairpin was obliquely inserted between the green silk that was pulled up, and a light yellow belt was tied in the middle of the pink silk skirt, which set off the waist with an unusually slender and slender waist.
Even at this time, the eyebrows are angry, and the ruddy little mouth is tightly bitten, which is still pleasing to the eye.
Hong Tiezhu was stunned for a while, then suddenly turned his head and muttered in a low voice, "I am a big husband who stands up to the sky, and I don't know you like a little woman." β
"You ......" Yuchai was despised and immediately wanted to speak again.
However, he was interrupted by Jiang Long's wave of his hand, and chuckled: "Don't blame me for being a maid, it's really that the younger brother's body has always been sick and weak, and it is not suitable to drink, let alone drink three bowls, even half a bowl can kill the younger brother, which is why she has such a big reaction." β
"Brother Jiang Longxian's health has always been bad, and he has heard of it for his brother." Chai Shirong interface.
Fan Ren rescued Jiang Long in Jialan Temple a few days ago, and asked Jiang Long for help, afterwards Chai Shirong naturally sent someone to carefully collect some information about Jiang Long, the original body in the past can be described as unknown, if there must be something that can attract people's attention, that is, the original body is really a little too sick.
Several times he was critically ill and almost went to the underworld.
In addition, under the intentional questioning of the people sent by Chai Shirong, he also knew that the original body did not like the newly married wife, and that Lin Ya vomited blood from Jiang Long.
"Since Jianglong is not suitable for drinking, then you can drink it yourself."
Chai Shirong told Fan Ren everything he knew, so Fan Ren saw that Hong Tiezhu opened his mouth to say something, and immediately opened his mouth first.
At this time, the maids and daughters of Jingfu brought a low mahogany table, spread thick blankets around it, and then placed the delicacies they brought one by one.
Qi Wei hugged the wine jar and poured a bowl for each of his three brothers, picked it up and said to Jiang Long: "Don't thank you for your kindness, our three brothers toast you!" β
"The younger brother is not in good health, so he can only replace the wine with tea." Jiang Long knew that his body was losing a lot, and now he really couldn't drink, so he reached out and took a sip of the teacup handed over by the jade hairpin who was staring at him tightly.
Seeing that Jiang Long shirked and didn't drink, the corners of his mouth curved a touch.
After that, Hou Jiang and Hong Tiezhu also toasted Jiang Long one after another to express their gratitude.
Jiang Long immediately toasted Fan Ren with tea instead of wine.
In Jianglong's previous life, there was a saying that the closer the wine was drunk, the farther the cards were played.
Literally you can understand the meaning, mahjong is gambling, there is a winning party, there must be a losing party, one party loses money, naturally is unhappy, and even if you really don't care about the money, in the process of playing cards will be noisy red ears, over time get together to play mahjong a group of people do not say that they become enemies, but the relationship will also be estranged.
Good friends, eventually become strangers.
Wine, on the other hand, can invigorate people's nerves, make people excited, and drink a lively atmosphere, even if they are introverted and less talkative on weekdays, they will become more talkative and release their mood.
While drinking, chatting, reminiscing about the past, or talking about ideals, confiding in the bitterness in your heart.
When emotions are high, friends echo them.
When the heart is sad, friends comfort me.
When reminiscing about the past, let's talk about the joys and troubles of the past.
Nature can easily bring people closer.
At this time, Jiang Long used tea instead of wine to chat with a few people, and with Chai Shirong and others having a few glasses of wine, the topic became more, the atmosphere was lively, and the relationship instantly became closer.
Hong Tiezhu is really temperamental and short-tempered, but he is also relatively naΓ―ve, and his head is not very bright, Jiang Long makes fun of him from time to time, which makes Hong Tiexin embarrassed.
Attract everyone hahadaxiao.
Even the jade hairpin, who hated Hong Tiezhu very much, changed his opinion of this person for a while.
Chai Shirong also joked with a smile at this time, "Just now, the three brothers of the Qi family said that they would go home tomorrow, and they couldn't let the elders and wives and children in the family worry about it every day, but this fool said that it was better to give away his wife and children, stay with him to eat a large piece of meat, and drink a lot of wine." β
"Poof!" Jiang Long squirted out a sip of tea.
Jade Hairpin and the treasure bottle smiled and bent over.
"Later, I said that I would send him a few maids to help him wash and warm the bed, but he said that it would be better to send him some wine and food."
Jiang Long laughed again.
However, the word warm quilt nest is already very ambiguous in this era, so although the jade hairpin and the treasure bottle feel funny, they are also embarrassed and blushing.
Chai Shirong was really born in a noble family, when he was thirteen or fourteen years old, the elders of the family arranged for him to have a room, and took off his virgin body.
often goes in and out of the Qinglou, spending a lot of money, if you can linger with the red card girl in the Qinglou and spread a good story, it will inevitably become a model idol in the minds of countless young men.
And let the girls fall in love.
Chai Shirong is used to being suave, and he has no scruples about talking about these ambiguous words.
At this time, seeing that the jade hairpin and the treasure vase, which are all good-looking, are shy and timid, that is, they look up to the sky.
Jiang Long is from modern times, I don't think it's a big deal to talk about a warm quilt, if you really talk about meat, he is more sophisticated than Chai Shirong.
However, the jade hairpin and the treasure bottle are his personal rings, and he can't let anyone talk about it, so Jiang Long asked the second daughter to bring some food back to the carriage, eat a full stomach, and then go to the apricot forest to play.
Not long after the second daughter left, Hong Tiezhu just shouted loudly, "Jiang Long, you are stingy, why did you bring such a little wine?" It's not enough for me to drink. β
It turned out that the wine on the table was drunk, and Hong Tiezhu stretched out his hand to ask for it, but the maids in Jingfu said no.
Except for Chai Shirong, everyone else is massive.
Moreover, Jiang Long glanced at the wine in his eyes, and smelled the aroma of wine in the air, and found that the degree of wine was not high.
The three jars of wine are indeed not enough for Hong Tiezhu to drink alone.
Jiang Long was about to speak, but at this moment, there was an exclamation not far away.
He turned his head and saw several young men pointing at a pair of master and servant.
His face sank in an instant.
Because the pair of master and servant were Lin Ya and Du Juan who came with him.
"Whose girl is this?"
Even if Lin Ya's face was covered with a thin veil at this time, it was still obsessed with a gorgeously dressed young man.
His companion's concentration was a little stronger, and he pushed him, "Are you blind, don't you see that people are combing women's buns?" β
"Married?" Another young man lamented.
Chai Shirong saw that Jiang Long's face was unhappy, so he followed his gaze and asked curiously, "What's wrong?" β
"I'll come when I go." Jiang Long didn't answer, he got up and walked directly in the direction of Lin Ya.
Fan Ren suddenly spoke at this time, "Didn't the person you sent to investigate Jingfu say that Jiang Long's wife is very beautiful?" β
"Really?"
Chai Shirong reacted instantly, revealing a sudden expression.
But then I saw the figure of a man in the distance also walking in the direction of the pair of master and servant, but his face changed greatly, and then he immediately got up and chased after him.
Fan Ren noticed that something was wrong, and gave the three Qi brothers and Hou Jiang a look, and the five of them put down the wine bowl in their hands and followed closely.
No one else saw another man pointing fingers at his wife without getting angry.
Jiang Long had just approached with a gloomy face, and shouted to a young man in front of him, "Get out of the way!" β
Hearing this, the man instinctively took a step aside, and Jiang Long came straight to Lin Ya.
"Husband."
Lin Ya saw that Jiang Long was a little unhappy, and lowered her head in a little panic, bending her knees.
Jiang Long regretted bringing Lin Ya to the apricot forest at this time.
But the beauty of the long is not Lin Ya's fault.
So it's not her to blame.
"Get up." Jiang Long took a deep breath, suppressed the annoyance in his heart, and affectionately reached out to help Lin Ya up.
The many young people gathered on the side only then knew that Jiang Long was the father-in-law of the beautiful woman in the city in front of them.
"Who is this?"
These people don't recognize Jiang Long.
"I don't know." Someone whispered, "But I saw him walking with the third young master of the Chengguo Mansion before, so he should also be the son of a noble family." β
"Maybe that, Chai Shirong is the guy who likes to make friends with three sects and nine streams the most......"
A few people in this circle wanted to say hello to Chai Shirong before, but then they saw Chai Shirong sitting with a few people who were obviously reckless and drinking and chatting, so they all stopped.
Most of the sons of wealthy families have their own identities, and there are not many noble sons like Chai Shirong who are willing to turn over and befriend Fan Ren.
"Brother ...... Jianglong"
At this time, Chai Shirong chased after him, and his expression was a little anxious.
However, before he could open his mouth and ask Jiang Long to take Lin Ya and leave quickly, he suddenly heard a sharp voice resounding in the apricot forest, "Whose lady is that, turn around and let our family see!" β
Jiang Long immediately looked away, and saw that the person who spoke was staring closely at the beautiful back of his wife.
