Chapter Thirty-Seven: Eating Wine in Late Spring
Lian Xiuyuan
Qi Luo was combing in the mirror, changing many kinds of hair buns, and she was not very satisfied with many beads, so she felt that her makeup was so crude and there was nothing she could handle, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Thinking of the position that His Majesty gave to the lord of Qishu and rewarded him with many good things, he felt even more gloomy. came out of the same Qi Mansion, but jumped out of a different mother's womb, and this situation is very different.
She looks the most like her father, and she should be taken care of more, but her father has never seen her in his eyes. Qi Luobei couldn't help but cover her tears with a handkerchief, and Gu Ying felt sorry for herself.
"Second Miss, Second Miss." The maid Lian'er shouted to Qi Luo outside, interrupting Qi Luo's self-pity, got up and walked out to ask her what was the matter.
"Second Miss, the front yard said that the carriage has been prepared, although there is still some work before the unitary time, but the horseman said, today the road is very crowded, it is estimated that the road is not easy to walk, and I hope that Miss will arrive sooner and on time." After all, it's the King of Guanghan who wants to meet! ”
"Well, I know, you wait outside first, and I'll be right there." Qi Luo sent Lian'er away and returned to the inner room to continue to pamper herself.
combed the tuxedo, didn't do too much decoration on her head, fell a pair of blue earrings, wore a light cyan cotton skirt, and today Qi Shu is wearing light pink, she naturally can't press her and can't be short of her.
The curved willow eyebrows of the painting, the powder delicacy is lightly applied, the vermilion lips are dotted, Qi Luo herself is graceful, and she looks delicate, except that the chin is a little pointed and looks mean, so there are some small jasper that has a more amorous taste, and there is another thing to see than Qi Shu's ladies.
After tidying up, Qi Luo also sorted out his mood, put on a natural and brisk demeanor and stepped out of the door, maybe the prince of Ning Ze didn't have any thoughts about her that day, if the companion of the prince of Ning Ze, Qi Luo, could see it, it would be a very good thing, in case he could meet anyone, it might be favored.
As the coachman feared, the closer it was to evening, the more people came, and the traffic was busy, and people were very careful when they walked and stepped on their horses, for fear of bumping into them and causing trouble.
Qi Luo was a little glad that she went out earlier, otherwise it would be extremely bad to leave a bad impression on the prince if she was really late.
Lifting the curtain of the car window, Qi Luo couldn't help but poke her head out to look at the street scene.
I saw the bright moon hanging high, mellow and bright, the delicate and flawless light shining down, the stone slabs on the ground are like light white yarn, the beauty is like a dream, the buildings and houses on this street are all covered with moonlight, reflecting the colorful lanterns reflecting each other, it is amazing.
There are red lanterns, green lanterns, white lanterns, pink lanterns, and a variety of lanterns with unique shapes.
It is not enough to carry it in your hand, and every household has put up prayer lanterns and written down their best wishes, hoping that God's mercy can be realized. Those dim yellow prayer lanterns flickered and slowly rose into the air, illuminating the entire Shaoliang City.
For a moment, the moonlight and the lights of heaven and earth merged, and those prayer lanterns flew to the sky one after another, and they were about to become stars that would never fall and never die.
The people gathered in groups to enjoy the lanterns, the scenery and the good time, Qi Luo was also deeply shocked by the appearance outside the curtain, looking at the bustling street scene, looking at the soft light of the full moon, the heart suddenly mixed with joy and sorrow, but I don't know where this melancholy comes from.
Looking at the street landscape and watching it, he was out of his mind, and his cheeks were on the window and he was stunned, the coachman was very slow to catch the car, and he was steady, and there was an exclamation on the street in front of him, and the startled Qi Luo immediately reacted, and a little dazed and cute look happened to fall into the eyes of someone with a heart, like a glimpse.
After a while, the coachman gave a soft "call", and the twilight tavern had arrived.
The maid Lian'er jumped out of the carriage first, and then reached out to help Qi Luo.
Qi Luo got out of the car with the corner of her skirt and said to Lian'er: "You go in first and ask my sister if she has arrived, if not, I can't go in first for the time being." ”
"Yes, miss." Lian'er answered, and waited for Qi Luo to stand firm before entering the tavern.
At this time, Qi Shu and Ning Ze were already sitting on the second floor of the Duescent Tavern eating wine.
Tonight there is no wind, the moon is bright, and the windows are wide open just enough to see the night scene outside, whether it is the high and low buildings or the exquisite painting boats of the quiet and beautiful Asakusa Lake, the scenery is everywhere you look, and the people are full of buzzing and lively.
All the gloom and unhappiness on weekdays seem to have been swept away, and it should be a lot of joy during the festival.
Ning Ze secretly glanced at Qi Shu and looked at her side face under the dim light, which made him secretly excited.
"I didn't have any food at noon, so I used more here, and I didn't have energy when I went out shopping later." Ning Ze said with concern, this is also to prepare for the next plan.
The Shangyuan Festival in the day is not the most lively time, taking advantage of the beautiful moonlight, drinking orders, guessing lantern riddles, appreciating lanterns, eating lanterns, and chanting poems, many activities are waiting for them.
Qi Shuhu glanced at Ning Ze suspiciously, just wanted to tell that it was just eating and drinking, she planned to go back to the house after eating, why did she still play with him? Wouldn't that be rude? He hesitated slightly.
But Ning Ze quickly grabbed a piece of thinly sliced braised beef from the plate and stuffed it into Qi Shu's mouth, and forced her mouth to be blocked!
Green Orange, who was eating dessert on the table next to her, was choked and coughed up when she saw this scene, * saliva splashed, Mozhu frowned in disgust, but looking at the direction she was staring at, she couldn't help but look at it curiously.
Green Tangerine didn't expect the relationship between Ning Ze and Miss to be so close, and they both reached the point of feeding each other, is it possible, is it possible that these two have that kind of relationship?
Qi Shu's eyes also widened, looking at Ning Ze with some horror, this, what is he doing?
Ning Ze was also very flustered, no, when he saw that Qi Shu wanted to refute his words, it would definitely not make her refuse to say it to death, so he impulsively came up with this method in a hurry, this is really thinking about it, and his whole body has moved!
"Ahem, this braised beef is very delicious, try it, I heard that your sister is coming, when?" Ning Ze selectively ignored the scene just now and directly shifted the topic to Qi Luo.
"Green orange, what time is this?" Qi Shu turned his head and asked.
"Miss, it's already unitary time." Green Tangerine put down the cake and said hurriedly.
"That's coming, my sister won't be late." Qi Shu smiled at Ning Ze gently.
It is said that Ning Ze and Qi Shu sat opposite each other for a long time without saying a word, and then they couldn't stand the ambiguous eyes of the boatman, and the two were forced to go ashore to the Duchun Tavern, and sure enough, as Ning Ze said, the girl was waiting there.
It was past noon, and several people were hungry, and after a short wait, they were able to go to a private room on the second floor.
The location of this private room is excellent, open the window to see the panoramic view of Xizi Street, and you can also see the scenery on Asakusa Lake, Ning Ze is very happy to reward Xiao Er with a lot of money.
Ning Ze is really generous, all the signature dishes of the Duchun Tavern are all on board, the two girls eat happily, and Qi Shu is less concerned about etiquette and face.
Since it is said that there is no shortage of wine, the wine in the Twilight Tavern is mostly old wine, but there are also new wines, such as flower wine and fruit wine.
Qi Shu picked Meixue wine, while Ning Ze picked Zhuyeqing.
Meixue wine is taken from the cold winter when the moon snow is thick plum blossoms are brewed, open the wine stopper and feel the fragrance is fragrant, refreshing. The entrance is light and slightly sweet, the color is like pink water, and the aftertaste is especially fragrant after drinking, and the stamina is small, but I feel that my heart is hot and sweaty, which is very suitable for my daughter's wine.
Ning Ze had his own little selfishness, knowing that Qi Shu liked bamboo, he loved the house and Wu Ye Xizhu, but he deliberately observed Qi Shu's face when he was a little bamboo, and there was no fluctuation in the slightest, which made him feel a little lost.
Bamboo leaf green is a wine made by rice wine and bamboo leaves, the aroma is unique, the wine color is golden and transparent, with a little green and blue color, the aroma is mellow, the entrance is sweet and slightly bitter, mild and not spicy, and the aftertaste is endless, but it also meets Ning Ze's preferences.
Ning Ze poured Qi Shu wine and signaled to eat more, Ah Shu was shrewd, he would be stupid if he ate some wine, and he would be fooled.
Qi Shu shook his head, the wine that Ning Ze poured her was his wine, and the two would be drunk if they were mixed, no, no, she couldn't drink more.
Just as he was refusing, Xiao Er went upstairs and said through the curtain that the second miss of the Qi family was looking for the eldest lady of the Qi family.
Qi Shu hurriedly responded to him, and hurried in.
In a moment, Qi Luo ascended the stairs.
Ning Zewu pinched his wine glass, his face facing out of the window, as if he was enjoying the scenery outside, but in fact, he was thinking about how Ashu's sister would take her away and then take the maid away. Yesterday's plan didn't count the people who spoiled the situation, which was his mistake.
Seeing the prince of Ning Ze staring out the window, his side face was cold and handsome, his skin was fair and flawless, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked and there was some evil temptation, and the dark robe was very suitable for his temperament, with a long body, a humble gentleman, gentle and elegant.
I don't like to go to the land of fireworks, I haven't married yet, I'm clean and full of poetry and books, and I have the noble status of the prince, how many girls hate to marry.
Qi Shu also frowned slightly when he saw Qi Luo's eyes staring directly at Ning Ze, and pulled her to his side and sat down. Ning Ze still looked out the window intently, ignoring the two sisters.
"What kind of wine do you have for your sister? The plum snow wine I ate, I asked Xiao Er to come up and change it to one you like? The street scene of the Shangyuan Festival is very beautiful, and we will go out and have a look later. Qi Shu said with concern.
For this younger sister, if she doesn't get close to herself, Qi Shu will naturally not be too enthusiastic, so it's better to be plain as water.
On the table next to it, the three maids gathered together, the atmosphere was relaxed and happy, but it was not too restrained, and the melon seeds and peanut candy cubes were placed on the plate and used at will.
"What kind of wine is the prince drinking?" Qi Luo asked innocently?
Hearing someone mention himself Ning Ze consciously turned back, and saw a pale green person at a glance, dressed very carefully, Xiaojia Jasper, Ashu's sister, I seemed to have seen it last time?
"Bamboo leaf green." The clear male voice, hearing Qi Luo's heart, felt trembling, and more red crimson unconsciously climbed on his face, although he knew last time that the person in front of him was not something he could imagine, but just by seeing him, he would feel happy.
"Sister, then I'll also drink bamboo leaf greens, okay?" Qi Luo said innocently.
"Okay." Qi Shu smiled indifferently and looked at Mo Zhu, who was alert beside him, Mo Zhu nodded at her, and then quietly went downstairs.
Since Qi Luo came, Qi Shu found that Ning Ze hadn't spoken much, his face was cold, very cold, and he was almost like two people who had just been warm, it was really strange, was it because he would be more uncomfortable in front of strangers?
A few people had nothing to say and could only eat wine and food silently, looking at the scenery outside, they had different thoughts, and they even had a big conversation, but most of them were Qi Luo who took the initiative to provoke the topic, Ning Ze ignored it, and Qi Shu was around.
The maid's table is too, Lian'er wants to secretly chat with Mozhu and Green Tangerine to relieve boredom, but one of them is silent and buries herself in eating, as if she has never eaten in eight lifetimes, and the other is like a stone and silent, boring.
Green Tangerine and Mozhu are really not as dull and stuffy as Lian'er thought, but today Green Tangerine was too stimulated and couldn't slow it down, so they had to work hard to eat to calm down their little liver. And Mo Zhu was thinking about the young lady telling her to pay attention to the hour.
