Chapter 57: Life's Wish (Five Watches)

Xiaotong picked up the wine glass and filled the wine cup for Zhu Youzhu and Zhang Yue, Zhang Yue raised the wine cup, "Rumo, last time I was caught by Wan Chao's plot, thanks to you for saving my life." ”

Zhu Youzhu said softly, "Little Wu, you were arrested last time because of me, how could I not save you." ”

Zhang Yue shook his head, "No matter what!" Rumo, I have known you for a lifetime, come! I salute you! With that, he drank another glass of wine.

Xiao Tong saw his master's small amount of alcohol, so he let go of the wine, and quickly pulled Zhang Yue's sleeve, "Young master, drink slowly, Ji Gongzi hasn't eaten when he enters the house, this drinking on an empty stomach can hurt his body." ”

Zhang Yue reacted, "Oh, by the way, Rumo, try my 'Yipin Pot'." ”

The three of them all moved their chopsticks, and the first layer of the pot was quickly eaten, revealing the second layer of meatballs. Zhu Youzhu was quite strange and asked, "Is the food in this pot still layered?" ”

Zhang Yue drank some wine at this time, a little fluttering, and proudly introduced this dish, "Rumo, you don't know about this, the cooking of this 'Yipin pot' is more particular, in the hot pot, the bottom of the pot is covered with dried bamboo shoots, the second layer is covered with a piece of meat, the third layer is white tofu or fried tofu, the fourth layer is meatballs, the fifth layer is covered with vermicelli, decorated with spinach or golden needle vegetables, plus seasoning and water, and finally simmered and cooked." It is said that this way of eating was invented by the wife of a high-ranking official in ancient times, so it is called 'Yipin pot'. ”

Zhang Yue's mouth was like a river, and the more he talked, the more proud he became, and Zhu Youzhu listened quietly beside him. The three of them ate and drank, and after a while, half of the food was left, and the wine was almost drunk. Zhang Yue's amount of alcohol was not good, after entering the Qin Heavenly Prison, during this time, he often drank and chatted with Yang Jianhou and others, and the amount of alcohol was as good as before.

Zhu Youzhu also drank a lot of wine today, not only did his demeanor not show a trace of drunkenness, but the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter. Xiaotong was not drunk, and in the end he fell asleep directly on the table.

Zhang Yue pushed Xiaotong a few times, and saw that Xiaotong didn't react at all, so he smiled helplessly, "Xiaotong's alcohol consumption is too bad." Rumo is still good for your drinking. ”

Zhu Youzhu shook his head and said softly, "It's not that I drink well, it's that I drink with you, and I don't seem to be drunk all the time, in the academy, and in the capital." ”

Zhang Yue flickered her eyelashes, blinked her eyes, and laughed at herself, "I said it like sobering soup, haha!" ”

Zhu Youzhu smiled, "You will compare yourself." ”

Zhang Yue suddenly remembered something, "Rumo, I just remembered that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, why didn't you talk to the emperor... Spend time together as a family? ”

Zhu Youzhang's face changed slightly, with a hint of bitterness in his eyes, "Although my father lifted my grounding, I was not allowed to participate in the royal family banquet in the palace tonight." ”

Zhang Yue felt that he had lost his words, and Senior Brother Dongyang told him that the prince's situation in the palace was not good now, and he also asked about other people's sad things.

She hurriedly persuaded, "Ahem, this, how can the dishes in the palace be as delicious as mine?!" We have wine and food, and we are a hundred times freer than in the palace, right! ”

Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhang Yue's sincere eyes and eagerness to comfort himself, and felt that the bitterness in his heart faded little by little, replaced by a trace of warmth, "Yes, I am very happy tonight, thank you, Yue'er." ”

Zhang Yue heard Zhu Youzhu suddenly call him Yue'er, and for some reason he had a strange feeling in his heart, not annoying but a little uncomfortable.

"Rumo, you still call me Xiao Wu like my senior brother, everyone has been used to calling me this over the years. Suddenly called Yue'er, I couldn't react. Hey! ”

"Okay." A trace of disappointment quickly flashed in Zhu Youzhang's eyes, and then he returned to normal, "Xiao Wu, I haven't officially thanked you for the birthday banquet before!" ”

Zhang Yue pretended to have a righteous expression, "Rumo, not to mention that you were because I lost my birthday gift before, just say that we are good friends, friends are in trouble, I must draw a knife to help." Besides, even if you imitate the master to write a few words, it is not considered to draw a knife, the top of the sky is... It's not too hard for me to pull out a pen. I'm not happy if you thank me like that again! ”

Zhu Youzhu muttered to himself, "Are you still good friends.....

"yes, we've all been through so much together. It's already a friend of life and death. It's a pity that your identity is quite special, otherwise I could have made an appointment with you to travel all over the world. ”

Zhu Youzhang's eyes lit up, "Traveling all over the world? Do you want to travel far and wide? ”

Zhang Yue's eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes, let me tell you Rumo, when I was in the academy, I often thought that I had two wishes in this life, in the first half of my life, I was young and strong, I planned to travel all over the world, travel the world, see the prosperity of the world, appreciate the wonders of the world, and record what I saw and heard during this journey, and I have been to the places I want to go, and then I will realize my second wish, which is to return to the academy and become a teacher, and tell students about my experience and knowledge for most of my life every day in addition to teaching." , live the rest of your life calmly and leisurely. ”

Zhu Youjiao's eyes followed Zhang Yue's narration, and at first they were still shining, but slowly the light gradually dimmed, and finally seemed to be covered with a faint layer of ink, and the corners of his mouth barely flashed a smile, "Xiao Wu's thoughts always surprise me, the previous issue of the academy was a meeting, and this time it was a wandering around." ”

Zhang Yue was a little embarrassed to be praised, "I love to think about it all day." Hehe, people live a lifetime, and there are too many things to bear, if you can truly control your life, you will not be in vain in this life. ”

"Take control of your life...... I'm afraid it's not that easy! Zhu Youzhu sighed slightly.

Zhang Yue smiled, "Heh! Rumo, you listen to me now that it's a set of things, in fact, I can't do it now, but I'm still trying very hard to control my life. ”

Zhu Youjiao's eyes deepened, as if he was thinking about something, his brows furrowed slightly, and after a long time, he unfolded his brows, as if he had made some major decision, and said gently, "Little Wu, you should go and live the life you want and realize your wishes." ”

Zhang Yue raised her head, but she didn't notice that Zhu Youjiao's gaze had changed when she looked at her, she said without thinking, "Yes, I've been working hard." If you can, you can too! ”

Zhu Youjiao's eyes were dim, he didn't speak, he raised the wine cup with his right hand, he didn't drink it, he just put it in his hand and turned it slightly, with great strength, as if he wanted to crush the wine cup.

The night was already very deep, and the candle flame in the room reflected the figures of the two people flickering and dimming, setting off an indescribable smell......
