Chapter 103: A Small Banquet
After the news of Tao Yao's awakening spread, Fanghu Mountain was rarely lively for two days. Tao Yao's previous personality was very likable, so after the accident, many brothers and sisters were worried about her. Knowing that she was fine, they deliberately ran to see her.
And the events of that day, although Tao Yao and Ximei did not specify it, everyone could see that Tao Yao's attitude towards Mo Li was obviously different. Even more cold and alienated than those outer disciples. Although this result is happy to be seen, I can't help but worry about Tao Yao's abnormality in my heart.
On this day, several brothers and sisters in Fanghu Mountain had a rare reunion dinner together.
The tables at which they eat are one for each person, arranged in turn. In the past, Tao Yao would always sit on Mo Li's right hand, and without looking back, he could see him eating. After a long time, people also consciously did not sit on that one and reserved that position for her.
When the meal was served, Tao Yao went a little late. Moli was already sitting in his usual place. The tables of the six of their brothers and sisters are usually three on one side. On the left are Ximei, Moli, Taoyao, and on the right are Qingfeng, Haoyue, and Yueyao. Later, Xiaomei and Yuqin each added one on both sides. Tao Yao and Yu Qin went in together, although Yu Qin didn't know that Mo Li's position on the right hand was Tao Yao's, but she knew the origin of Mo Li and Tao Yao, so she naturally walked towards the other one very consciously. But who knew that he didn't take two steps, and was pulled by Tao Yao.
"Yuqin, you can sit here. I want to do that. It's more convenient over there," Tao Yao smiled and coquettishly to Yuqin.
Yuqin's table is the most marginal position. In fact, even the middle position is not inconvenient, because there are partitions between the tables, and people can pass freely. So as soon as Tao Yao's words came out, everyone looked at Tao Yao in surprise. Only Mo Li didn't look up, didn't look back, just lowered his head, as if he hadn't heard it. But no one knew that the palm of his hand hidden in his sleeve had been pinched so that the joints were white.
Yuqin looked at Tao Yao, who looked flattering, and looked at Mo Li, who was motionless over there. She didn't know what was wrong, two people would be like this. Could it be that on the day of Tao Yao's resurrection, Tao Yao and Mo Li had some contradictions. But she looked at the smile on Tao Yao's face, she really didn't know if she was really happy, or if she was pretending to be happy. In the end, she agreed, because it was really not the way to keep being like this, "Okay!"
"You're the best, Yuqin. Tao Yao happily walked to the farthest seat and knelt down at the table.
Haoyue and Yueyao looked at each other with a confused expression, then shook their heads and concentrated on eating.
Ximei took a chopstick dish and stuffed it into her mouth to hide the slightly raised corners of her mouth.
Yuqin was secretly glad that she was not contaminated with love, which was really bothersome and sad.
Qingfeng looked at Tao Yao, who had already started to eat vegetables, and his brows furrowed even deeper. Although Tao Yao has behaved naturally since she woke up, he can see that Tao Yao is deliberate. If Tao Yao really doesn't like Mo Li, then it doesn't matter where she sits, and she won't change her position so deliberately. Mo is usually so smart, I can't see this, I'm afraid it's because the authorities are confused.
This meal is a very difficult reunion meal for the Chinese. Especially for Moli. In the past, he felt that the eager eyes she always cast when she ate were a bit of an eyesore, but in the end, it was her little sister, and he couldn't say anything. But now that he heard that she took the initiative to change places with others, unwilling to sit next to him, he realized that this alienation was the poison that could kill people, and the pain that gnawed away his heart was unbearable. But he had only endured it for two days. As for Tao Yao, since he came to Fanghu Mountain, he has always been alienated by his own indifference. She has endured far more than herself, and she must be even more aggrieved in her heart. He couldn't imagine how Tao Yao at that time swallowed all the pain, and then appeared in front of him with a smile on the second day.
......
Slowly, their cultivation returned to normal. Yuqin also said goodbye to everyone. It's time for her to go back to Daiyu to have a look, after all, this time she has been out for too long, but she has repeatedly said that she will definitely come again. She hasn't seen Tao Yao and Mo Li finally become a lover, so how can she rest assured.
So Tao Yao proposed to hold a small banquet belonging to their women before Yuqin left. Yuqin and Yueyao both like to be lively, so they naturally passed unanimously. Although Ximei didn't like to be lively, she was looked at by everyone, so she had to nod her head in agreement. She didn't want to look so different. Xiaomei's idea is simpler, she purely wants to break into the "enemy". The so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other is victorious in all battles, she wants to know what kind of charm Tao Yao has, which will make Qingfeng so fascinated. Only then, one day, will it be possible for her to take her place.
The location was set in Taoyao's yard. Because Taoyao's yard has the largest begonia tree in Fanghu Mountain. Sitting under the begonia tree at night, drinking wine, chatting, it is naturally very pleasant.
Tao Yao dug up a few jars of wine that had been buried under the tree before. As soon as she opened the lid, she smelled the rich aroma of wine, and these jars of wine were buried by Xiaobai on her back later. At that time, Xiaobai loved to carry her behind her back and steal her wine to drink. If she hadn't found rabbit fur in it once, she would have thought she had misremembered. But even with Xiao Baizang on his back, he can always find some with his keen nose. So Tao Yao had to learn from Xiaobai, the cunning rabbit three holes, she secretly hid the wine in many places. She looked up at the moon in the sky, and she didn't know how Xiaobai was now, but she was happier than her after all! No matter when and where, love is the source of all happiness.
"Tao Yao, what are you in a daze, bring your wine over. We can all smell the wine here. Yue Yao stood at the stone table and beckoned to Tao Yao.
"Okay!" Tao Yao quickly came back to her senses and carried the wine to the table.
"It's really fragrant!" Yuqin took a jar and sniffed it. "When did you get into the habit of digging holes and burying things?"
"What is it called digging a pit and burying things, I am not a rabbit, burying everything in a pit. I also saw it when I was down the mountain before, when ordinary people gave birth to daughters, they would brew a few jars of wine, and then bury them in the yard and use them when their daughters got married. So I learned to buy some and came back. I've found that it does taste better this way. Therefore, I often buy some and bury them here. ”
"Quick, pour it for me, and let me taste it. Yuqin remembered that when they were in the palace of the king of Shang in the past, they liked to chat and drink together after the king left. Since the fall of the Shang Dynasty, the three of them have never sat together like they do today.
"Good, good, good!" Tao Yao smiled and poured her full.
Yuqin drank it all and put the wine glass on the stone table with a clatter. "It's really wonderful. ”
"Come, come, come, I'll pour it all over everyone. Yuqin took the wine jar and poured wine for everyone one by one.
"Enough, enough!" Ximei stopped Yuqin from continuing to pour wine. Although she and Yuqin knew each other's identities, Tao Yao didn't know. Although Tao Yao no longer has the memory of her previous life, she still thinks it is better to be careful, after all, her alcohol consumption is not very good, and when the time comes, she will lose too much.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's rare to have a good drink!" Yuqin didn't care at all. She thought that since Tao Yao no longer had the memory of her previous life, she was naturally not afraid of showing her feet. And she's really happy.
Xiaomei used to live in a dreamy fantasy world, and she never knew what wine was. I've heard of it since I came out, but I've never tasted it. Especially the last time she saw Qingfeng sad, she drank the wine while holding it, and she had the idea of tasting it. Let's see if this can really solve your worries. So as soon as Yuqin poured it full for her, she drank it dry in one go.
"Hiss~" After drinking, she regretted it, stuck out her tongue, and fanned the wind. "It's so spicy!"
When the four of them saw her like this, they couldn't help laughing. I thought she was a good drinker, and she drank so simply, but it turned out to be an uninforming person. It's really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers!
"That's not what this wine is. Ximei took a small sip.
"Come, we salute the eternal moon. Tao Yao raised her wine glass and pointed at a few people.
Several people had their own thoughts and drank it all.
"Tao Yao, you're too uninteresting! I secretly hid so much wine, I didn't even know it. Yue Yao looked at Tao Yao with a sad face with a glass of wine, as if accusing her of ruthlessness.
"Speaking of which, I do remember one thing. Senior Sister Yueyao, tell me where all the gadgets you used to fool me came from, huh?"
"Hehe~" Yue Yao smiled weakly, she thought that Tao Yao would not remember how many gadgets there were in her house, after all, there were so many in her house. When she hadn't woken up yet, Xiao Taoyao was so difficult, she would fool her with some gadgets in her house. "That's for you anyway!
Tao Yao rolled her eyes at her. "If I hadn't found out something was wrong, wouldn't you have said it!"
Yue Yao was still smiling awkwardly. Nonsense, if she didn't find out, she wouldn't be stupid enough to admit it.
"Senior sister, it's really hard for me to find out! Please, the gadgets in my house are all box by box. You've emptied a box, can I not know?" Tao Yao held his forehead, feeling that since Senior Sister Yueyao and Senior Brother Haoyue had cultivated double, this IQ had decreased.
"That, that, it's still a bar, a drink, a drink!" Yue Yao picked up the wine jar and poured wine for everyone, clumsily changing the subject.
This night, several people drank too much. Including Ximei and Xiaomei, who want to control some. The evening breeze is gentle, the moonlight is soft, and they are surprisingly harmonious. No one would have imagined that in the near future, they would even become enemies, swords against each other.
