Chapter 112: Faintly stuffy
Bai Su didn't expect her to ask this, and after thinking about it for a while, she replied in a low voice, "I'm fine in the Hou Mansion." Parents love, brother sensible. Like you, you're content with the status quo. ”
"What else?"
Bai Su looked surprised, "What else?" ”
Cheng Xiangjin touched him with his arm full of gossip, and asked in a low voice: "Do you use gold bottles and jade cups for dinner in your Hou Mansion, which is very luxurious and heroic?" ”
Bai Su suddenly smiled, "How can there be?" ”
"Isn't it?"
Bai Su pursed his lips and smiled: "Of course not!" The Hou Mansion is no different, it is the same as your mansion, there is no difference in daily use. If the only difference is that most of the utensils are exclusively supplied by the imperial merchants. Sounds more decent! However, that was also the gift of my father when he was meritorious and the emperor gave him a gift. ”
"Oh? That's all it is! ”
Bai Su smiled, "That's right! But it's not that you don't have those golden bottles and jade cups, but you don't usually use them. Ever since I lost it, my parents have been very simple. The valuables were put on hold. So, don't be misled by the rumors! I'm very simple on weekdays, so it's not as luxurious as you think! ”
"Alas, well!"
Bai Su shook his head with a smile, opened the jar with his hand and took out the pot of peach wine. Pour them into two glass cups in turn and hand Cheng Xiangjin a cup.
"It's time to drink, try it!"
Cheng Xiangjin took it unceremoniously, looked at the elixir-like liquor inside through the glass cup, and couldn't help but lean over the tip of his nose and smell it. The sweet taste of peaches immediately aroused the appetite.
"Ah, it smells so good!"
As he raised his head into his throat, a burst of coolness crossed in an instant, and the smooth and sweet taste of peach wine suddenly spread on the tips of his lips, teeth and tongue.
"Are you sure it's wine, not juice?"
After the words fell, he picked up the flask again and refilled himself with a glass.
Bai Su glanced at her and said with great certainty: "I'm sure it's wine!" However, this wine is mild and not intoxicating after drinking. ”
"And such wine? You're amazing! ”
For Cheng Xiangjin's praise, Bai Su was very useful. Seeing her drink cup after cup, her entire cheeks became a lot rosy due to drinking, and she suddenly had the urge to reach out and touch her cheeks.
The arm was raised slightly, but he finally didn't have the courage to lean over. He sighed slightly in his heart, turned in a different direction, and took the wine jug to his hand without a trace
"You've drunk a lot, and the rest is mine."
"Huh? Don't...... I'm going to ...... more."
Without waiting for Cheng Xiangjin to stop him, the remaining half pot of wine was directly poured into his stomach Zheng at a speed visible to the naked eye
Cheng Xiangjin suddenly pursed his lips dissatisfied. With a hint of alcohol, he complained: "Huh? Why? You've already given me this wine, so why don't you let me have a good time? What's more, today is my birthday, and you brought me here to enjoy the flowers and wine, why didn't you give it after just a few drinks? ”
Bai Su tried not to look at her face, looked ahead and said lazily: "Women are not suitable for drinking too much cold wine. ”
Cheng Xiangjin didn't do it, and was about to pour wine from the altar when he got up, but was dragged by a slender arm. It didn't matter if he dragged it, Cheng Xiangjin's half-squatting body fell backwards in an instant. Seeing that he was about to fall down the slope, Bai Su instantly opened his arms, and as his arms sank, Cheng Xiangjin's entire body fell on him in an instant.
With the warm fragrant nephrite in his arms, Bai Su's ears suddenly turned red. He tried his best not to change his face to straighten Cheng Xiangjin, and then bent over awkwardly to clean up the wine jar.
Cheng Xiangjin touched his chest with palpitations, and his mind was much clearer. Looking at Bai Su, who was bowing down to clean up the wine jug and other things, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"Well, I didn't hurt you just now, did I?"
Bai Su still lowered his head, "Thanks to you, the ribs are not broken yet!" ”
Cheng Xiangjin scratched his head embarrassedly, "Who asked you to drag me just now, if you don't drag, I won't fall!" It won't hit you again! ”
Bai Su smiled bitterly, "It's not that you drank a lot, and I'm worried that you will be reprimanded by Uncle Cheng after you go back...... Forget it, drink it if you want, today is your birthday, you decide! ”
Cheng Xiangjin glanced at the wine glass in his hand depressedly, and finally sat on the side and enjoyed the scenery in frustration.
"Anyway, thank you for saving me just now!"
Bai Su glanced sideways at her and smiled bitterly, "It's okay, it's not the first time I've saved you anyway." ”
Cheng Xiangjin was stunned, thinking about it, it was really true. This time, people have indeed helped many times.
Thinking that he had nothing to repay, he was suddenly a little embarrassed.
Bai Su got up and picked a peach blossom and sent it to her, and while she wasn't looking, she picked one and put it in her hair.
After a careful look, he finally nodded, "Well, it's beautiful!" ”
Cheng Xiangjin didn't expect him to make such a move, and he was stunned.
"What, don't like this gift?"
Cheng Xiangjin took the flower branch and shook his head.
"Naturally, I like it."
Bai Su was in a good mood when she saw her take the flowers. sat down next to her again.
Seeing her looking at the flowers, she hesitated and finally opened her mouth.
"I have decided, in a few days I will follow the team sent by the imperial court to the military camp in the Northland."
Cheng Xiangjin looked up in astonishment, "Go to the barracks?" Why so suddenly? The county lord also ...... Agreed? ”
Bai Su nodded, "At the end of the year, my father received news that there was another war in the northland, with more and more injuries, and the camp lacked medical treatment, so it was in urgent need of support from the imperial court. ”
"Oh, really?"
Cheng Xiangjin lowered his head, only to feel that his heart was faintly stuffy, and he didn't know what to do. After holding it for a while, he only held back one sentence, "Then won't you be able to drink the Yutang Spring you promised to brew?" ”
Bai Su looked at her fixedly and shook his head.
"The wine is already brewed, and I'll probably be able to drink it when I get back from the Northlands."
"How long are you going?"
Bai Su shook his head, "Look at the situation in the Northland, if the war subsides soon, maybe you will be able to come back in a few months." If the war continues, it may take a year or two or even longer. ”
"That's it!"
"Hmm."
As the two of them fell silent, the wind around them seemed to cool a little.
The flowers in the forest seem to be unable to resist the coolness of the evening, and they fall like snowflakes.
Bai Su helped her pick the petals on her shoulder, and couldn't help but bow her head to her ear.
Cheng Xiangjin was stunned by his actions, and just as she was about to move away, Bai Su's arm wrapped around her shoulder.
"Don't move, there's something you need to tell Uncle Cheng secretly."
Cheng Xiangjin stiffly smiled, "Don't lie to people, if you really have something to do, you can give it to my father in person, why do you have to pass the word on me?" ”
Bai Su didn't feel weak at all, looked at her fixedly, and said, "Send you back to the mansion in a while, and I have to rush to the Changyang Palace." I can't spare time to visit Uncle Cheng again. ”
"Look, what's so mysterious?"
Bai Su approached her, turned his head sideways and whispered in her ear: "King Changyang is already seriously ill and has only a few days left. I have seen the elephant, and I am afraid that Chang'an will change. ”
Cheng Xiangjin was shocked, "Are you sure?" ”
