108. Things of the old times
"Back then...... How did you separate from my mother, is it because of the emperor? ”
Even though she knew that this question would cause a very embarrassing situation between the two, Zhuang Wanqin still asked this question.
Looking at the man's eyes fixedly, Zhuang Wanqin was waiting for him to answer.
But the man picked up a small wine cup in front of him, took a sip, and replied, "Taste it, this is what your mother made with her own hands." ”
Zhuang Wanqin picked up the wine glass and tasted it - it was indeed sweet and delicious, with a mellow aroma unique to vintage wines.
When I was in the army, I didn't drink a lot, but most of those drinks were spirits, which was a kind of adjustment for the brothers to happily tell their feelings on the battlefield.
If she put a small flask on the table like this, and simmer it here slowly, it has not been since she started drinking.
"The mouth is mellow and concise, and it is really a good wine."
"I'm afraid it's not because of this brewer that he has these remarks."
The man quipped. The movements in his hands did not stop for a moment, but he helped pour another glass.
The mist from the flask blinded the two of them, making it impossible for either of them to see each other's expressions. Just by feeling, I just know that there is a person sitting across from me.
She left without saying a word, and I knew it wasn't what she wanted. It's a pity that the emperor checked it tightly at that time, and only let her leave me an amber. That amber is still a token of love I once gave her. ”
The man took a sip from the small wine cup and continued.
"I don't know if she's broken our vows. She left nothing but that amber. I was left alone in this deep palace to meditate. ”
"I wanted to think she was flying away. But at that time, she came to this foreign land with me thousands of miles away, and what explanation did she make? ”
"I still want to believe that she only left temporarily because of the persecution of the emperor, and will come back when the news passes. However, after waiting for almost twenty years, the man was still not heard from. ”
Zhuang Wanqin filled her wine glass with herself, and when she saw that the man had consciously handed over her own wine glass, Zhuang Wanqin also filled it for him.
Bang.
It was the sound of wine glasses colliding, and it was when he hit Zhuang Wanqin's wine cup. Some of the full wine ran down their hands, but neither of them minded.
The small glass of wine was dried up, and the two of them turned their glasses down at the same time to show their sincerity. After seeing the same movements of the other party, the two suddenly looked at each other and smiled.
It's as if, at this moment, he is just a frustrated man. And she is just a red dust idler.
Everyone has their own helplessness, and it seems that it is not impossible to express their helplessness and become the best appetizer for others.
"Believe me, one day, she'll be back. It's like a poem that says, 'This place of peace is my home.'" That person's peace of mind is naturally the city where you are. No matter how vicissitudes of life and dynasties change here, they will always come back. ”
The man laughed, a little self-deprecating.
"Promise your good words."
Again, the two drank all the wine in their glasses, and were relatively speechless.
This vintage wine has a benefit - you don't realize what you drink at the time, and if you don't control your greed, you will have a lot of stamina.
Zhuang Wanqin now knows what it means to be self-inflicted and not to live. Maybe it was because the food was so delicious that it resonated with her. Or maybe she deliberately wanted to get drunk and didn't deliberately pay attention to how much she drank.
And so I drank and drank, and I got drunk.
But this drunkenness is not the kind of drunkenness, it is a drunkenness that still has some consciousness remaining. It's just that he has lost the ability to walk freely.
"That'...... If there is a day...... She's back...... What are you going to do? ”
Zhuang Wanqin's intermittent words made the person opposite frown a little. As far as he knew, Zhuang Wanqin was not a person who didn't have a lot of alcohol, but he didn't want to, so he was so drunk.
I looked at the flask that was still simmering on the fire, and the inside had bottomed out. It seems that I really drank a lot.
Wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk. Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to empty myself. Unexpectedly, in the end, he made a dowry for others.
Looking at the person on the other side, who no longer knew what it was, the man put away the things on the table at random, picked up the man and walked into the room.
Usually he lived alone, and there was no place to stay with outsiders, so he had to put the man in his bed and let her rest first.
I walked to the chair and sat down, picked up a book casually, and took advantage of the sunlight outside to read it comfortably.
From time to time, he would look back at the person who was lying on the bed and had fallen asleep at the moment. The smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be stopped.
In this way, until dark, Zhuang Wanqin finally woke up.
Before I could open my eyes, I was tempted by the smell of food. It wasn't until I opened my eyes and was confused for a while that I remembered that I was in the harem, and I looked at the sky outside, and I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
After all, this is a harem, and she is still here at night as a foreign minister, which will inevitably make some people chew their tongues. If you fall into the handle, I'm afraid it will be bad for that person.
Turning over and getting out of bed, I rubbed my aching head, and saw the man sitting at the table eating his meal. Opposite him there was also a pair of clean dishes and chopsticks, which seemed to be prepared for himself.
However, it is destined to lose his good intentions.
"Don't worry, let's not say that I don't have anyone else here, just talk about your light skills, can't you leave smoothly without being discovered by them?"
As if sensing Zhuang Wanqin's intentions, the man stopped eating, put down the dishes and chopsticks, turned around and said, "Come on, taste it, I made it myself." ”
Originally, this person did not pay any attention to the title, and he was also as frugal as possible in employing people. Zhuang Wanqin was surprised enough by these. But he didn't expect that this person even made his usual meals by himself.
It is said that a gentleman is a chef, this person is not only a gentleman, but also a prince. Even though it was only a small country, it did not exempt him from his status as a nobleman.
"What? Surprised? Survival, a must. ”
The person at this time does not seem to be the same person who complained about his bitterness in the morning. But I didn't expect that it was only half a day, and this person was like a nobody, doing whatever he had to do.
Zhuang Wanqin did not doubt his loyalty to his mother because of this. A person, a wound, that kind of old scar, only when it is uncovered again, others will see his pain. It's just that when it's just a scar, there's no one who remembers it more clearly than its owner.
