Chapter 190: Drink and talk normally
"Eat." Lu Yixuan knocked on the chopsticks to break the silence and put the side dishes in her mouth, her expression suddenly narrowed, she pursed her lips but did not move, and looked at Lu Zhongsi on the other end.
I saw that Big Brother was gobbling up a piece of fried meat with sauce and took a big mouthful of rice into his mouth, without chewing and swallowing slowly, as if he hadn't eaten a full meal for ten years, and he didn't taste what the sauce fried meat tasted like.
The corners of Lu Yixuan's eyes twitched, because she couldn't help but clench the fingertips of her chopsticks when she saw Lu Zhongsi.
"Is it delicious, big brother." She didn't swallow the side dish in her mouth, and muttered.
"It's delicious." Lu Zhongsi didn't even raise his head.
The atmosphere in the room seemed to be suffocated for a moment, "click", Lu Yixing's chopsticks touched each other and made a crisp sound-
"Phew", she spit out the small dish in her mouth, salty and raw, not fried thoroughly at all, she knew that her craftsmanship was not good, but she didn't expect it to be so bad, Lu Zhongsi at the other end finally couldn't help it, Fang Cai's mouthful of rice choked out of breath, and vomited, and spit out the fried meat with sauce that had just been sent into his mouth, yes, this was cooked by his own hands, and he accidentally poured too much sauce and vinegar, and at this time it was so sour that people's tears were going to flow down, if it wasn't for the breath that he couldn't swallow at all.
The two of them looked at each other with bitter faces and suddenly laughed, bad craftsmanship, bad acting skills, ha-laughing and laughing, Lu Zhongsi burst into tears with red eyes, Lu Yixuan tiptoed half of his body over the table, and took out a handkerchief to wipe away his tears.
"Don't cry."
She said.
All the good and bad in the Wei Mansion are reminiscent of the past, and the three meals used to be Lu Wanyu and Hua Nu Zhang Luo, they never felt that the proportion of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar would become the most nostalgic thing.
Lu Zhongsi grabbed the handkerchief and sucked the tip of his nose, looking at the simple three dishes and one soup in front of him: "Today is Lord Qin's wedding, I know you don't care......" I think that when the bronze sparrow gold bead was lost, he still thought about it, and now a year has passed, Qin Zheng married Mingyue, as if he was in another life, "The little princess has made things difficult for you in the palace, and now that she has got what she wants, you will be able to suffer less grievances in the future, by the way," the big brother pointed to the west wing, "The Internal Affairs Office also sent some supplies." ”
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Lu Yixuan thought about it, but the chopsticks didn't move.
"Yes, I heard that it was ordered by Concubine Yuan, and the happy event in the palace and the fact that the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not know everything clearly, so there was an unjust case, it is, it can be regarded as some compensation." Lu Zhongsi coughed lightly and folded the veil.
"Concubine Yuan, Niangniang......" Lu Yixuan pondered for a moment, the jade-faced fox was useless, and he would not do anything reassuring.
Lu Zhongsi didn't notice the little girl's pondering, but said that Concubine Yuan was also a person who knew her intentions, and she didn't fall into the trap when the Lu family was in deep trouble: "Big brother, big brother just regrets that I didn't listen to you at the beginning......"
He is a heartless person, he is scolded a lot, he is eager for quick success, and he can't immediately enter the palace to mingle with a group of high-ranking officials and magnates to wash away his stains, and it is rare to meet a drinking friend who has taken out his heart and lungs without the slightest defense, Lu Zhongsi shouted at the sky and couldn't believe it before and after learning how He Jin planted and slandered himself.
He regarded the person who was doing everything possible to help his best friend, and took a bite back.
I don't know people's hearts are sinister, but Lu Yixin's suspicions have become true, and Lu Zhonghei can't regret it.
Lu Yixuan clenched his fists, leaned over and took out a pot of wine from the side of the case, and he didn't know how she brought it into the hall, but Lu Zhongsi's expression dodged slightly, the eldest brother was originally a person who was addicted to alcohol, and seeing spirits was like seeing a close friend, but now he was afraid of staying away.
"Big brother, you have to cross this hurdle by yourself." Lu Yixuan opened the wine jar, the aroma of wine overflowed, she poured it for Lu Zhonghei and added it to herself, "I'll accompany you." ”
Lu Zhongsi was stunned for a moment, this little sister of his own has never liked to drink, he took a deep breath, raised his head and drank it all, the spicy wine flowed through his throat, the original Qingxun was in stark contrast to the hot and spicy that then flooded his throat, good wine.
"Tsk," a spring night chat suddenly came from outside the hall, "Isn't it a disappointment to have wine and no friends?" ”
What's that called, drinking stuffy wine.
Lu Yixuan turned his head in astonishment, it turned out to be Gu Qingxun who was dressed in a clear water robe, with a bit of precipitated medicinal fragrance that was particularly clear in the middle of the night, he picked up his robe and stepped into the door.
"You...... How did you escape? Lu Yixin was stunned, as a frequent visitor to the Tai Hospital, Gu Qingxun is Mr. Xinglin's proud protégé, naturally deeply loved by the royal family, and he has a place for the princess's wedding, who would have expected this guy to sneak out halfway.
Several people looked at each other and smiled, greeting enthusiastically, the colorful flags outside the sky never sleeped, and now they just want to talk about the lamp in this world.
Candle flame flickering、Sake small stove。
Lu Zhongsi, the old man, opened the conversation box as soon as he drank, and poured out all the anecdotes about the Wei Mansion from childhood to adulthood, as if everyone's bits and pieces of the past could not escape from his eyes, and when it came to the place of rise, Gu Qingxun, who was smiling and smiling on the side, would also help to talk to him, yes, yes, Ah Yu at that time was a little crying bag.
I couldn't bear the slightest grievance or pain, and I cried and cried to find someone.
"That'......s right," Lu Zhongsi patted the table with a smile, and the wine was smoking, "He just doesn't look for anyone, just look for you!" Big Brother was not convinced at this time, and pointed at Gu Qingxun and muttered.
"She's very scared, I'm not able to say anything considerate." Gu Qingxun lowered his eyebrows and smiled, like a spring breeze, Lu Yixun clearly listened to Lu Wanyu's words the most.
Miss Lu Jia's face turned red, and she knew how to gossip about her own troubles all day long, so she simply drank the wine in her hand and accidentally choked on her throat and coughed half to death.
Lu Zhongsi laughed, and Gu Qingxun hurriedly patted her back to soothe her.
"But it's not, there was another time, when she saw that people were putting paper kites, she had to go up the tree to catch the little sparrow, and she couldn't reach it while moving a stool and stepping on a ladder, so she accidentally fell down," Lu Zhongsi thought back to the past, reached out and grabbed Lu Yixuan's arm, lifted his sleeve and lifted the crook of his arm, "Look, it's this scar, it fell." Lu Yixin has a small old scar with potholes on his elbow, which was stabbed by a tree branch back then, "How could you have thought that this girl is jumping up and down and flying off the wall now!" Lu Zhongsi burped and patted his chest, but his hands stiffened-
Without him, just because the eldest brother saw that there were still many wounds on the crook of the girl's arm, all of which were left by Lu Yixuan after he came to Shengjing City, yes, she used to be weak and sick, and the whole family was like protecting a small pearl for fear that she would be wronged at all, but now, when the Lu family was in decline, she stood up and wanted to turn the tide, but on this thorny road, she was covered with bruises.
Endure all kinds of hardships and break through thousands of mountains.
Lu Zhongsi's voice choked, and there was a thick discomfort in his heart that could not be dissolved, and slowly flooded his heart.
Gu Qingxun saw his embarrassment, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to toast the man with a glass of wine, it was better to drink as quickly as he was relatively speechless, he put aside the small cup and knocked the peanuts: "In the past few days, I have entered the palace and listened to the little eunuchs in the Tai Hospital who have broken mouths, and the Son of Heaven intends to send you to Surabaya to supervise and supervise the river defense project," the man thought about it with his fingertips, "The vigilance of Surabaya is the middle of the Ministry of Industry every year, and the river defense downstream is not the most troublesome, this year, it is rare to build a dam in the middle and upper reaches of the mountains." ”
"What? Surabaya? Ah, you, are you leaving Beijing again? Lu Zhongsi jumped to his feet in surprise when he heard this, and the drunken intention made a flower in his brain almost fall to the ground.
Lu Yixin shook his hand: "Big brother, don't panic." She laughed.
Lu Zhongsi shook his head, he- heh, he has experienced the warmth and coldness of people, the hot and cold world, once the tiger fell into Pingyang, and he also rose to prominence, and he was wronged by someone, and now he is not shocked, what else can break Lu Zhongsi's heart.
The ups and downs of life are so extreme.
"I'm worried about you......" Big Brother frowned, "The imperial court suddenly sent you to take care of this thankless matter, I also heard that the Ministry of Industry is allocating funds every year, last year, last year, it was not even washed down, two heads were cut off, three officials were dismissed, this, this is a hot potato!" "Besides, once a person goes to another province, he can't care about what moths he does for you in this court, and even if he does anything under Shengjing, he can bury you even if he takes a piece of soil.
Lu Zhongsi has a deep understanding, and Lu Yixuan is also deeply touched, and this crackdown on bandits is a clear example.
"Young Master Lu, don't be so pessimistic," Gu Qingxun exonerated him, "I passed through Surabaya last year, and my outlook has changed a lot. ”
"Mr. Gu just said, what's going on with the upstream dam?" Lu Yixing was full of curiosity about the place he was about to go.
Gu Qingxun thought for a while, and said slowly: "In the south of Surabaya, the rainy season lasts for a long time, and the loose soil in the mountains has not been pierced for many years and there are many gorges. "The imperial court moved to work and lose money, and wanted to build several dams in the mountains to divert water and discharge floodwater.
"Are you still unwilling to listen to the government's advice?" Lu Zhongsi followed.
"After all, heavy rains are rare every year, flash floods are not frequent, and the local people are reluctant to leave the place where their ancestors lived."
"Mr. Gu has traveled back and forth to the north and south of the river, and he must have seen many strange people and strange things," Lu Zhongsi's eyes were quite envious, his interest at this time was even higher than that of Lu Yixuan, and he was busy asking Gu Qingxun to talk about what he had seen and heard over the years, and he was attentive like a good student who listened to his master's words.
Lu Yixin sipped a little wine and saw that the two big men were chatting energetically, the candlelight flickered and flickered, and she didn't feel tired or tired in the middle of the night, she squinted her eyes, and then she felt that the wine she had just drunk slowly rushed to her head, and even her consciousness was a little confused, and her ears were filled with the sound of the two of them laughing heartily.
Peace of mind.
