Chapter 324: I can't hold my breath
Xu Yongzhi slapped the mud seal of the wine jar open and poured four bowls.
The guy who brought the roast sheep also cut the roast sheep, brought it to a large plate, and then said goodbye himself.
"Knives, plates, and chisels, we'll pick them up tomorrow." The guy said respectfully.
"Sister Qiao, come and eat sheep!"
Sister Qiao came out of the west wing in response and looked at the big sheep, "Ah, have you made a fortune?" β
The Xu family of Shanzitang is rich, but most of the wealth is medicinal materials, real estate, and fields.
Therefore, even if everyone is not short of money in life, they will carefully collect the money.
Duan Meimei is gone, and her family is a little expensive housekeeper, which is different from Duan Meimei's frugality, her style is cautious, such as never buying expensive dishes and ingredients, and worrying that people nearby will be suspicious.
The most distressed of these people is Sister Qiao.
Sister Qiao used to have a commission for diagnosis in Shanzitang, and she was the richest person in the family, but now she lives in Nanjing, Liaoguo, and it is not easy to go out for business, for fear of exposing her identity, she stays at home honestly, but she is actually depressed. Several times when she saw the Liao army about to move troops and ask for good doctors, she wanted to go, but was stopped by Xu Yongzhi.
"What kind of place is the barracks, you are not a lady of moderation, if you are provoked by someone there, won't it increase the noise."
Staying bored, I can't go down to the restaurant, Sister Qiao is eating small dishes and small meals, feeling a little uncomfortable, and when I see roast sheep today, I can't help but light up.
Xu Yongzhi, Xia Xiaogui, Chen Xiaohuan and Sister Qiao sat down, just on all sides of the same table.
"Let's have a drink." Xu Yongzhi said, pouring four small bowls of wine.
"Get me a big bowl." Chen Xiaohuan took the small bowl away.
"I want it too." Sister Qiao said.
Xiaogui hurriedly went to the kitchen and took out two rice bowls for them, she measured it herself and couldn't eat much, as for Xu Yongzhi, he shouldn't be in the mood to drink, so don't persuade it.
Sister Qiao took the wine jar and sniffed it.
"Good wine, I didn't expect there to be such good wine in the north."
The Liao people drink two kinds of wine, one is the mare's milk wine on the grassland, which is fragrant and strong, and ordinary Han people can't accept it; The other is a kind of lamb wine brewed by the Han people near Changshan, this wine is made from yellow rice, but when the wine is made, lamb meat is added to become a meat wine, and both kinds of wine are suitable for pairing with mutton.
"It's a lamb bar," Xu Yongzhi sniffed the wine, "Brother Hugh knows how to drink very well." β
"I'm going to get a big bowl too." Xiaogui said.
"You don't want to drink." Xu Yongzhi said.
"How can I say that I am also a woman from northern Shaanxi, and there is still a lot of wine and meat." Xiaogui said.
"I was drunk last time, don't force it." Xu Yongzhi said.
Xiaogui ignored him, and there were two big bowls.
"I'll get it for you, too." She looked at Xu Yongzhi.
"I don't want to drink more." Xu Yongzhi shook his head.
"It's sad to say it." Sister Qiao patted Xu Yongzhi.
Xu Yongzhi shook his head: "I can't say it." β
Everyone knows what he is sad about, and he doesn't feel the need to say more, but because he doesn't need to say more, he doesn't have the opportunity to say it.
"Let's talk about my sadness first, it's easy for my son to become a colt, I thought that I was going to enjoy Qingfu and hold my grandson in this life, but I didn't expect to be a fugitive now, I saved so much money before, and I put it at home, most of it was stolen by Zhao Er, and I felt uncomfortable." Sister Qiao said.
Xiaogui looked at Sister Qiao, she was in her thirties, and she still had a childish innocence, this kind of person was really worthy of envy.
"Xiao Huan, you said, by the way, you ran out like this, and your prince has no one to protect you, is it really okay?" Sister Qiao asked.
This can be regarded as hooking out Chen Xiaohuan's pain.
"Lord, cough, lord, there is indeed such a prince, but it's not mine." Chen Xiaohuan said.
"What?" Sister Qiao's eyes widened.
"We ...... Separated, that's it. Chen Xiaohuan said.
"You don't have to do this," Xiao Gui said, "King Wei has always had a good relationship with Xianggong, and he and Zhao Er are not all the way. β
Even Xu Yongzhi put down the wine bowl.
"This is the absurdity, it's not that I said to King Wei, let's not get along, let's break off, but he opened this mouth, he said, Miss Chen, you are a good girl......" Chen Xiaohuan said in Zhao Tingmei's tone.
"It's too much, what do you mean by that?" Sister Qiao put the wine bowl heavily on the table.
"Don't interrupt, let Xiao Phantom continue." Xu Yongzhi said.
"King Wei said to me: 'I am very sympathetic to Brother Xu's trouble, but you must also understand that your relationship with him is too close, if I still keep you by my side, I can't explain to the second brother'......'"
"This cowardly man!" Sister Qiao slapped the table.
Xu Yongzhi sighed. Zhao Tingmei is like this, his kindness and admiration for others are long and passionate, but he does not have the courage to defend his friends, whether it is Li Yu or Xu Yongzhi, he has such a side.
"I said: Lord Wang, do you want to do something big, you want to carry it yourself, don't think so much. Guess what he said? Xiao Phantom said.
"What did the prince say?" Xiaogui asked.
He said, "Miss Chen, I've figured it out. Brother Xu is my friend, but I have always been the prince of the Great Song Dynasty first, he betrayed the Song Dynasty and beat the second brother, I sympathize with him, but I can't support him. Xiao Fantasy learned from Zhao Tingmei's vibrant appearance.
"Hey." Xu Yongzhi sighed.
"I was very sad and asked him: If you can't agree with him, why do you have to part with me?" Chen Xiaohuan said.
Xu Yongzhi actually probably guessed it, but he didn't say it, he was afraid that the truth would be too cruel.
"He said, you are a good girl, but the second brother's secret order is for me to arrest you and bring you to justice, and the crime is treason."
"I asked him: Do you want to arrest him?"
He laughed and said to me, "I can't beat you again."
"I said: If you can beat it, you will give my head to Zhao Er, a dog thief, right?"
"He saw that my face changed color, and he knew that his words were stiff, so he said to me: Xiao Huan, don't worry, you are Brother Xu's junior sister, he saved your life, and it is normal for the second brother to not tolerate you, let's be separated for a period of time first, and when the official family is angry, I will ask for a pardon order, and you and Brother Xu's whole family will be pardoned, isn't it okay?"
"I said: Zhao Wenhua, you know very well in your heart, Zhao Er has already done it, he will never forgive the Xu family, he will only want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, how can he be angry? In fact, you are not waiting for him to lose his anger, you are waiting for him to lose his breath, hoping to be the emperor himself, and you still can't give up that possible throne in the end, right? β
Xu Yongzhi nodded, Xiao Fan is an understanding girl, she can see through, Zhao Tingmei is really nostalgic for the throne, and it is a throne that can never be obtained.
"This guy!" Sister Qiao took a sip.
"I cried after I finished speaking, I felt very bitter in my heart, I was originally preparing to live my own life, he was going to recruit me, and when I was happy, I used a lot of thoughts, and he came out like this." Chen Xiaohuan poured the wine into his mouth and touched the wine jar again.
"Eat some meat." Xiao Gui hurriedly brought the warm meat by the fire.
When he saw me crying, he came and coaxed me, swearing to heaven that he didn't mean that. I said: Lord Wang, you are in danger, don't do it, you follow me, let's go to Dali, or go to Taoyuan, live comfortably for the rest of your life, forget the throne, don't help the emperor, don't help the Xu family, just live to be a hundred years old, isn't it? He sighed and said that he was a man after all, and he couldn't immerse himself in the gentle township, and he had to make contributions to the country in order to be worthy of the blood of his ancestors. β
"As soon as I heard this kind of official clichΓ©, I said goodbye to him, I said: Lord Wang, be careful yourself, I'm here, Li Forsythia doesn't dare to touch you, I'm leaving, there is no wizard by your side, you have to guard against yourself, her vicious heart, you have also heard of it, even if your second brother dies early, Li Lianqiao will control the government, and at that time, you are the first person he wants to kill."
He laughed and said: Joke, she is not the queen mother, you see, within three years, this king will abolish her by means!"
"I saw that he was so confused, so I turned around and leftβI feel ashamed now, I actually want to go with such a man, and leave you!"
Chen Xiaohuan scolded a foul word.
"Actually, without him, you can go and live far away, and you don't have to be with us. We are all a group of people who can't let go, and we can hide, but we are still not reconciled. Xu Yongzhi said.
"I'm also unwilling, I want to take revenge with you." Chen Xiaohuan said.
"You'll just have to come back." Sister Qiao took the jar, filled Chen Xiaohuan with a big bowl of wine, and then boldly took the wine bowl and toasted Chen Xiaohuan.
"I think you forgot about that prince as soon as possible, I have long felt that this person can't be carried clearly, I don't think you want a senior brother and a senior brother, just marry Xianggong, and be his side room, you see that although our family has such a son, but there is no daughter, you give him a little girl, a man who recruits women like this should be a daughter slave when he is old is retribution." Sister Qiao laughed sneeringly as she spoke.
Xu Yongzhi shook his head, Sister Qiao didn't know about Li Lianqiao cursing him.
"Not good." Xu Yongzhi said.
Sister Qiao pulled Chen Xiaohuan's shoulders over: "Xianggong, do you think Xiaohuan is not beautiful?" β
Xiao Fan lightly punched Sister Qiao and turned her body away, she must have a deep admiration and love for Xu Yongzhi, this kind of relationship is different from the love of men and women, but if you want to have children with someone, it must be worth it and should not be missed.
Sister Qiao is massive, but after a few bowls of wine, she doesn't consider Xiaogui's feelings at all.
"Oh, oh, little sister, you can say something." Sister Qiao turned to Xiaogui.
"If it's a little fantasy, I think it's okay." Xiaogui said.
She didn't interrupt everyone at the wine table.
"Are you afraid of Zhao Tingmei?" Sister Qiao shouted.
"It's not." Xu Yongzhi said.
"What's that?"
"No, I don't want to hurt anyone anymore." Xu Yongzhi said.
"Harmful?" Sister Qiao was stunned for a moment.
She also thought that Xu Yongzhi was talking about being wanted.
"Sister Qiao, Xiao Fan, you are all close people, I don't have to avoid you, I was cursed by Li Lianqiao, I can't get close to women, which is why I have always had no children with Meimei."
"Ah......" Sister Qiao froze.
"I'm sorry, I don't know, I see that you don't touch me, I always thought it was me who was not attractive, it turned out that you were sick, hahaha! Then I'm relieved. Sister Qiao suddenly became happy.
"You're different from others, and I don't feel anything about you or me." Xu Yongzhi glared at her.
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, what can you do then?" Sister Qiao asked.
"I don't know." Xu Yongzhi sighed.
Xiaogui also drank a bowl of wine at this time:
"You're so curious, I'll tell you, because when the mountain ghost Niangniang allowed Li Lianqiao's curse, I was still a man. Li Lianqiao's curse may be to make the prime minister not allow women. β
Now Sister Qiao was embarrassed. asked such a tortuous sad story, and it didn't end well.
Chen Xiaohuan giggled:
"This is not Li Lianqiao's style, to be precise, her curse should be that Xianggong can no longer get close to other women except her!"
The crows in the trees quacked.
It turned out to be in the city of Nanjing, and the bell of Tianning Temple rang.
This is not the chiming of morning bells and dusk drums, but the sound of warning.
The guards on the tower of Tianning Temple had already seen the vanguard of the Song army on the horizon outside the city.
