Chapter Fifty-Seven: Drunk and Picks Up the Lamp and Looks at the Sword

The sisters in the house have never eaten any delicacies, this ordinary vine cake is just a little bit of my heart, and the taste is not unique, but the sisters all hugged the venue, laughing for a moment and snatching it clean.

For a while, it was also harmonious and happy. The whole wisteria building fragrant sideburns and beautiful clothes, the sound of the warbler and the swallow language, a hundred charms.

It was not early, the inky night gradually spread in the sky, and the night breeze was slightly cool, blowing the fragrance of wisteria flowers in the courtyard. The girls picked up the glass lamps early and illuminated the courtyard brightly, as bright as day.

Xuan'er went to the kitchen to summon the banquet, poured the grapes that her mother had appreciated, and the sisters humbly sat down with each other.

Without the presence of the adults in the house, the Qingchou people still ate slowly and methodically, especially elegantly, it seems that this meal has become a habit, not like me, rough and habitual, such a twisted posture after a meal, it is to burp.

I tasted two rattan cakes earlier, and I was not very hungry, so I took a pair of clean chopsticks and selected a few dishes with good colors for a few people to taste, and persuaded them diligently.

paid attention to the food plate in front of Qing Chou, and specially picked out a pickled pepper porcini mushroom and spicy sour soup hairy tripe for her, and she ate them all cleanly. Qing Lian was choked by the spicy taste, and drank two cups of tea.

I hurriedly instructed Lan'er to change Qing Lian's food plate again, and then change the two plates of spicy dishes to Qing Chou: "We really can't enjoy this chili, and our mouths are going to be on fire." ”

Qingchou ate with relish: "My aunt likes to eat sea peppers, and if there is a mouthful, she will leave some for me, which has been somewhat affected." ”

I pretended to be casual and said, "Yangzhou people have always had a light diet, and they don't like these spicy things very much. I heard that in the land of Bashu, the people there are all spicy and unhappy. ”

Qingchou nodded: "I heard that the climate there is hot and humid, and eating more chili peppers can eliminate the moisture in the body." ”

I was about to ask again, but Qingqing had already opened his mouth and proposed: "It's a bit dull and boring to eat and chat like this, why don't we make a drinking order, and if you lose, you will be punished with a glass of wine, how about it?" ”

Qingyin put down the chopsticks in her hand first and protested dissatisfiedly: "Qingqing, you are full of poems and books, and you become a poem in seven steps, no one in the house knows, we are all willing to bow down." You are clearly deliberately bullying us for not being as good as you by proposing this. ”

Qing Lian and Qing Chou felt novel, and nodded their heads in response, saying that it was just a glass of grape wine, and it didn't matter, so they should learn from each other. At the moment, it was agreed that local materials should be used, with wisteria flowers as the theme, and the seven-character wine order.

Qingqing is really quick-witted, every word is beautiful, although Qinglian is small, it is not inferior to Qingyin and Qingchou, the battle is neat, and every sentence is splendid.

Only I couldn't talk for a long time, or I couldn't match the donkey's lips or the horse's mouth, which made everyone laugh, and a few girls also stopped chatting, paying attention to a few of us, bowing their heads and holding back the laughter. I didn't care, I just accepted the punishment and dried the grapes in front of me one cup after another.

The atmosphere gradually became lively, everyone was no longer so reserved, laughing and angry, and put down the shelves they were holding.

Hui'er took the wine jug and stood behind me, pouring five or six points full of water like a dragonfly to cover for me. Qingqing's eyes were sharp, shouting "cheating", snatching the wine jug in Hui'er's hand and pouring the wine to the brim. Punished me several times in a row. I simply took the flask and poured myself a drink, leaving Hui'er to rest for the time being.

The grapes are sweet and sweet, and at first I didn't think there was anything, but I drank them as juice, but I didn't know that they also contained wine. Later, when I drank too much, some of the wine surged up, my face was like a fire, and my eyes were also confused, and the cup in my hand swayed from side to side, unsteadily, and spilled on the front of my clothes.

Qingqing held my cup to my mouth and laughed at me: "How can there be a guest who doesn't drink well, the host drinks too much, and we are still waiting to drink the tea you brewed." ”

I staggered to my feet and instructed Lan'er and Xiao Er to build a charcoal stove and boil an urn of spring water.

The sisters all applauded in unison, obviously excited, and the entire wisteria building was boiling.

After a long time or just a moment, I asked Lan'er if the water was boiling, and Lan'er replied that it had been raining for days, and the charcoal was damp and had not yet been lit.

I was a little anxious to urge, and Lan'er said that Xiao'er had already gone to get the firewood for the fire, and she could wait for a while.

When I mentioned the small sample, I felt that there was something I hadn't done, but I couldn't remember it, and I frowned and thought about it.

Then I heard Hui'er reprimanding Xiao'er, how to take the young lady's baby's medical book to ignite the fire.

Xiao Xiang quietly defended that what he was holding was not the young lady's medical book, but a third aunt's notebook that was turned out of the utility room.

Lan'er muttered in a low voice, so she had to wait for the young lady to see it before she could dispose of it, and she couldn't destroy it without permission.

And then the next thing, it seems that I don't remember it very well, vaguely as if I had been a poet, and read aloud what "Five-flowered horse Qianjinqiu, Hu'er will exchange for fine wine and eliminate eternal sorrow with you", "Grape wine luminous cup wants to drink pipa immediately urge", impassioned, and then Qingqing Qingchou several people laughed heartily, and frequently punished me for wine. I will not refuse anyone to come, and the wine will be dry.

Xuan'er stepped forward and whispered to persuade me to go back to the house to rest, but Qingqing and the others did not follow, stopped me and laughed and asked me to dance, and only let me go after the punishment.

The tea, it seems, was not boiled in the end.

I didn't even know how I got back to the house, when Qingqing and the others said goodbye and left, I only felt that the world was spinning, and the ground under my feet was uneven, so I simply closed my eyes.

I only remember that in the middle of the night, in a daze, I seemed to hear someone outside the yard shouting "catch the thief", and then there were chaotic footsteps everywhere, Lan'er knocked on my door in a low voice, called me two sentences, my eyelids were heavy, muttered a word, and turned over and fell asleep.

When it was almost dawn, I woke up suddenly, and my mind suddenly cleared up, and there was no trace of sleep.

There are thieves in the night!

That copy of the notebook!

Sure enough, drinking was wrong!

I rubbed my forehead in frustration, but my mouth was dry, and I got up and poured a cup of tea at the table, and when I drank it all, my throat was much more comfortable, and it was no longer so hot.

The tea is still warm, with a little honey, which is the most hangover, obviously not long after the change, Xuan'er and the others are really considerate.

Someone in the outhouse heard the movement in the house, knocked softly on the door, and asked tentatively, "Miss, are you awake?" ”

When I answered, I pushed the door and came in from the outside, it was Lan'er.

"Why do you get up so early, you made the tea, right?" I saw that she was dressed neatly, and she should have gotten up early.

"I'm afraid that the young lady won't sleep well at night, and if there is anything that needs to be done by the slave maid, she will keep vigil outside and sleep on the couch and clothes."

I smiled embarrassedly: "I seem to have drunk too much, I can't really remember what happened yesterday, when did I disperse last time?" ”

Lan'er stepped forward and touched the water in the teapot and poured me another cup.

"Don't you need me to go to the kitchen to make some sobering tea."

Seeing that I shook my head, he replied, "It was not early when we dispersed last night, and the young ladies all returned happy, so let's thank you." ”

"I seem to have lost my temper?" I drank the water from the cup and asked Lan'er, "Isn't it embarrassing?" ”

"No, no," Lan'er shook her head and said, "But it's obviously happier than usual, it looks delicate and lovely, and it has a different charm." ”

I scratched my hair in embarrassment: "It's good that I didn't do anything too out of the ordinary, I'm afraid that I will get drunk and dance and play drunk." ”

Lan'er sneered: "It's not crazy to be drunk, but the sword wind has opened our eyes." I didn't expect the young lady to be able to dance with a sword, heroic and sassy, like a wing, which stunned us. ”

A layer of fine cold sweat broke out all over my body, and I was startled: "What do you say, I danced a sword after I was drunk?" ”

Lan'er was taken aback by my sudden abnormal behavior, and looked at me a little strangely: "It's not a sword dance, Miss Qingqing said that it seems to be a sword dance, anyway, slaves and maids are unheard of, let alone seen."

Last night you lost the wine order, and the grapes were all drunk. Miss Qingqing said that she would punish you for dancing, you were in a good mood, so she took a bite and asked the slave to go outside the yard to fold a branch of purple magnolia, which was called to be drunk and pick up the lamp to see the sword.

We originally thought it was a wine talk, but you ignored our dissuasion, took off your shoes and stood barefoot on tiptoe on top of the embroidered pier, stretched your sleeves, lowered your waist, and turned your body, without the slightest softness and softness of the dance we usually see. But like flowing clouds and water, as light and agile as a dragon, the magnolia branch is indeed like a sword with spirituality and sword energy, rotating or lightly picking on your wrist. It is said to be heroic, but also revealing a lightness and softness.

The slave had never read a book, and she didn't know how to describe the scene at that time, but the glass lamps around her were so bright that they weren't as dazzling as yours. The wisteria flowers on the trees have become the foil of your flowing magnolia thin hookah gauze dress, and even Miss Qingqing is stunned. ”

"It's not just a frozen, miss, especially your last handful of flowers and smiles, your eyes are rippling, it is really like reflecting the stars in the sky, you opened your mouth widely, and your saliva flowed out and forgot to wipe it." Hui'er and the others also woke up, heard movement in my room, came in with hot water, and couldn't help but interject.

"Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Hun blood. Miss, you danced with this song "Man Jianghong" yesterday, it is simply too majestic. The dancing posture is also chic, many times more eye-catching than those twisted songs and dances. It spins like a purple cloud, and it will fly away at any moment. If it weren't for the last failure, it would be comparable to the palm of the swallow back then. The small sample is a bit exaggerated, with a gesture and a stroke, simulating the posture of flying.

I covered my face in embarrassment, unable to imagine how out of shape and shame I had been.

Hui'er and the others also pursed their lips and laughed sneeringly when they heard Xiao Xiang'er's words. I stubbornly asked her, "How did you fail, but you fell off the embroidery pier?" ”

After that, I moved my arm, and there was no soreness.
