Chapter 44: Heart-to-Heart
"By the way, you seem to owe General Ben 10,000 taels of gold." I was eating to my heart's content, when I suddenly heard such a disappointing sentence that I got a bite of pig's trotter right in my throat, and I choked and rolled my eyes.
I finally swallowed the pig's trotters with chicken broth, but the chopsticks never picked a bite of the dish again, just because he had just reminded me of what I had forgotten.
I slowly put down my chopsticks and said to Shen Yu with a bitter face: "General, you just sold the villain, and the villain can't come up with so much money." ”
"Then you will stay in the General's Mansion all the time, and when will you pay back the money, when will the general return your freedom!" He spoke so lightly as if he were talking about the weather today, and I wondered if he had planned it all a long time ago.
Shen Yu saw that I didn't speak for a long time, so he put the wine jar newly brought up by the shopkeeper in front of me, and said, "General Ben knows that he is good-looking, but if you look at General Ben like this again, General Ben will wonder if you like General Ben!" After saying that, he even threw a wink at me.
I had a chill, silently opened the lid of the wine in front of me, and an extremely thick and mellow smell flowed out, I couldn't help but take a few sips, and poured him a full glass while holding the jar.
"General, please, hehe." I tried my best to please him, hoping that he would be more lenient with me.
"Did General Ben ask you to pour me wine?" He glanced at me, snatched the jar from my hand and put it back in front of me, pointing at me and saying no more.
I immediately understood what he meant, but if I really drank this jar of wine, I would have been drunk with the amount of wine. I shook my head, made a look of embarrassment, and said, "The villain is not strong enough to drink, I'm afraid I can't drink with you, general." ”
"If you can drink with Xiao Ziling, can't you drink with General Ben? Don't forget, he has abandoned you, and it won't be long before he will marry **. His words were like a handful of salt sprinkled right on my bleeding wounds.
I suddenly turned pale, bit my lip and lowered my head. Shen Yu probably knew that what he said was a bit excessive, he patted me on the shoulder and said, "Okay, isn't it just a man, General Ben is also a man, it's a big deal to let you be General Ben's male pet!" ”
"The general laughed, the villain has nothing to do with the prince." What he said just now woke me up, my departure has nothing to do with him, and it naturally has nothing to do with him if he marries anyone, just like he himself said, I am just a lowly subordinate, and he is a high prince.
I picked up the jar and opened my mouth and began to pour it violently, and a spicy smell of wine ran down my throat and down into my stomach, and everywhere I went, I felt a hot and spicy feeling, and I choked again and again.
"How can anyone drink like you!" Shen Yu on the side saw me so embarrassed, and finally brought some smiles in his words, he patted my back gently, and took a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe the corners of my mouth himself.
I pushed him away and poured it straight again. Probably because my unhappiness was too obvious, he didn't stop me, and he picked up the wine jar like me and drank it with me.
After three rounds of drinking, I already feel a little drunk. I leaned over the table with my head propped up, and things in front of me began to shake and my head began to get dizzy.
"Hey, you say, did you men in ancient times be very amorous? Isn't it all about seeing one and loving one? My speech was beginning to slur, but my mind was incomparably clear, and I shook my head vigorously and turned to look at him.
"Whoever said it, General Ben is very single-minded!" Shen Yu seemed to be a little drunk, and two lovely red flowers floated on his white and tender face, and I couldn't help but stretch out my index finger and poke lightly in his face.
"Dog minion, dare to tease General Ben, looking for death!"
I laughed twice, and poked my fingers lightly twice, to be honest, his skin is really good, smooth and tender to the touch, not at all like the skin that a man should have.
"I'm telling you, I just don't care about your ancient people's three wives and four concubines. Why do you men say you men marry so many wives? can't be eaten, and every day is annoyed by the intrigue between them half to death, unlike our era, which is monogamous, and every man can only have one wife, if he dares to find a mistress, he will definitely die a miserable death! I said and picked up the wine jar and took a sip, this wine was very spicy when I first entered it, but the more I drank it, the sweeter it became, no wonder Shen Yu couldn't stop pouring it into his mouth one after another.
"Oh? There is such a strange system! General Ben would love to see it. His eyes sparkled, and his eyes were more beautiful than usual, and if he hadn't been lying on the table, I would have thought he wasn't drunk.
"Hee-hee, not only did we have such a system in our time, but also planes, cars, and rockets! It only takes a few hours to get from one city to another, unlike you here, not only is science and technology backward, but even the means of transportation are the most primitive, let's just say from the Phantom Sword Palace to the capital, I walked with the masked man for several days, and my legs were almost crippled! ”
"That's hard for you, haha." His smile was really good, and I laughed silly along with him. We didn't finish laughing when we heard his voice sound again.
"Actually, I have a younger sister."
"Huh?" I was unprepared for his sudden change of subject, and was stunned for a few seconds before I reacted and asked, "Do you have a sister?" Isn't it as beautiful as you? ”
He smiled, got up from the table, propped his head and said, "My sister and I were separated when we were five years old, and I really don't know if she looks better than me now. Maybe... I don't even know if she's still alive. "I saw in those chestnut eyes, a sadness overflowing, mixed with a shining mist, it was a sadness that came out of the bones, and it only took one look at it to make people forget it.
"You... You okay. I had never seen him so lonely, and I gently patted his hand on the back of his hand as a sign of comfort.
He smiled at me and didn't speak, but his face was a little more unusual than before. I knew I had touched his sadness, and I hurriedly said, "If you don't want to, don't say it." ”
He didn't say a word, and his fingers dipped wine on the table and drew gently. I leaned over to make it carefully, and when I read those two words clearly, my heart chuckled.
