That night, Ba Yi was drinking alone in the study.

Dangdang, there was a knock on the door.

He knew that it wouldn't be the maidservants and servants of the family, because family members usually reported something directly, so it was almost Su Junqing who came, so he swallowed a sip of wine and said, "Come in." ”

The door opened, Su Junqing rushed in with the wind and snow, and saw that the blue brick floor in the study was clean, so he stomped his shoes vigorously at the door, rubbed the soles of his shoes on the mat, and saluted Ba Yi: "Xia Guan has seen the forehead." ”

Ba Yi lifted the wine jug and filled himself with a glass of wine, beckoning: "Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, the three of you, it's cloudy and snowing today, and you can't invite Mingyue, so I can only ask the two of you, just come and have a few glasses with me." ”

Su Junqing saw that he had a friendly attitude, and it was not at all instructed by his cousin in advance, saying that Ba Yi was going to teach him a lesson, etc., Su Junqing breathed a sigh of relief, and a little servant had already moved a chair for him, and also put on a set of cutlery and wine glasses.

There were only four simple side dishes on the table, and it seemed that Ba Yi had not moved a single chopstick, Su Junqing raised his wine glass and said, "Borrow flowers to offer Buddha, I will salute my forehead." ”

Ba Yi smiled and drank it all.

Su Junqing followed.

The wind and snow outside intensified, the snow flakes crackled on the window paper, the lights in the house were melting, and there was a charcoal brazier under his feet, it was not cold, such a night drinking was the most pleasant thing, Su Junqing followed Shangguan Yunyi to Mengjiang, and he was very confused about eating and living, not to mention calling friends and drinking around the fireplace, this long-lost feeling made him sigh.

Ba Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "It's so dignified, isn't it bad to sigh the scenery." ”

Su Junqing hurriedly confessed: "It's strange." ”

Ba Yi said: "I don't blame you, I just don't understand why you suddenly sighed." ”

Su Junqing saw that Ba Yi picked up the wine glass and did it first, so he could only accompany him to eat a glass, and then carefully put the wine glass on the table, explaining his gaffe: "I don't know, I have worked hard for so many years to get a county, and now I am afraid that the county will not be able to do it, in fact, I have no intention of flying on the official career, how can I still have an old lady at home to support, without a good fortune, I will not do anything else, how can the old lady live, and let her worry about me, it is really unfilial, thinking of this, is to sigh." ”

As soon as Ba Yi wanted to speak, the little servant came over to add charcoal to the brazier, but he didn't say anything.

Su Junqing kept saying: "I have been a gentleman since I was a child, I don't need to work hard to study, I like to walk birds, fight crickets, raise cats and dogs, otherwise I will drink and listen to dramas with fox friends and dog friends day and night, even the girls and boys in the family have complaints, and the neighbors also complain, but my mother has never reprimanded me, occasionally said, study hard, no fame, how to survive in the future." ”

Ba Yi drank by himself, and when he heard him talk about his emotion, the corners of his eyes were already filled with tears.

After eating too much wine and getting hot on his body, Ba Yi stepped back from the shoulders of the silver rat, wearing only a robe, and leaning on the chair railing idly.

Su Junqing was still talking: "It was only after I got older that I realized that I was really wrong, especially when I went to my aunt's house with my mother......"

At this point, the words suddenly stopped, and his face was extremely unnatural, and he glanced at Ba Yi in confusion.

Ba Yi looked like he was listening attentively, and when he saw that he didn't say anything, he asked, "Why did you say half of it?" ”

The reason why he said half of it was because it was that time when he went to Shangguan Yunyi's house and met this cousin, his feelings were like a surging river, and he was out of control, and then went back to study hard, fortunately he was smart enough, and it didn't take long for him to be lifted, get grace, and become a magistrate, I thought that I could match my cousin if I entered the official career, but my uncle Shangguan Jian still disagreed, so he was disheartened, and the official was incompetent, but he thought about his cousin day and night.

These past events have probably grown years old, and now that I think about it, I am indeed a little ridiculous, knowing that Ba Yi is to Yugo as much as he is to Shangguan Yunyi, but I have never seen Ba Yi sigh, but Ba Yi has resigned and stopped doing it, which is more free and easy than himself.

Ba Yi asked, he was not good not to say, and he couldn't tell the truth, so he said: "I just care about nagging and delaying drinking." ”

Ba Yi knew that he was deceiving himself, and he didn't delve into it, he raised his glass and drank again, but after a while, Su Junqing was drunk, drunk, his head was muddy, he was bold, and he talked a lot, and he even blamed Ba Yi for being too indifferent to Shangguan Yunyi, and said: "A woman like my cousin is talented and beautiful, if it is me, I am afraid that I will love it in the palm of my hand, but I will not know the blessing in the blessing, I have to make people sigh." ”

Ba Yi, who had been listening to his nagging quietly, suddenly spoke: "Then you try it instead." ”

Su Junqing, who was immersed in sentimentality, seemed to have poured a basin of cold water on someone, half of the wine woke up, looked at Ba Yi in amazement for a while, and then hurriedly stood up and apologized repeatedly: "The lower official is abrupt, and the crime deserves death." ”

Ba Yi stretched out his hand and pressed it, motioned for him to sit down, and then wrote lightly: "Close the door, we are relatives, why should you worry too much." ”

Su Junqing sat down tremblingly, and still apologized: "Xia Guancai's words have no meaning, but I feel that my cousin has a deep affection for the forehead, but the forehead looks a little cold, maybe the lower official is worried, and the affairs between your husband and wife should not be ignored." ”

Ba Yi smiled: "Where did you go to stab me in the first place?" ”

Su Junqing couldn't figure out his intentions, he just looked at him blankly, then lowered his head again, and said with a wry smile: "The princess is the cousin of the lower official, as long as it is for the good of the cousin, the lower official is willing to go to the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire. ”

The little guy came over to refill the wine again, lightly, and even the sound of clothes crossing the table could be heard, only waiting for the little guy to retreat, Ba Yi said: "If your cousin is not happy, she will not let me help you." ”

Su Junqing was slightly stunned.

Ba Yi picked up the hot wine that the little servant had just added and poured it for himself, put the wine jug back into the infusion, took a sip of wine and said, "Let's be straight, your cousin asked me to transfer you to Mengjiang as an official, and I have already agreed." ”

Su Junqing condensed slightly, and when he woke up to what Ba Yi said, he was overjoyed, shook off the sleeves of his robe, and kowtowed to the ground: "Thank you for the completion of your forehead, the great kindness of your forehead, the lower official is unforgettable, if there is an afterlife, you should repay it for the cow and the horse." ”

Ba Yi waved his hand: "The next life is too far, I only want to be now." ”

Su Junqing looked up at him: "What do you mean?" ”

Ba Yi raised his glass to him: "I don't mean anything else, when you come to Mengjiang as an official, we are so close, you have to promise me that after you are busy with official business, you will often accompany me to eat and drink." ”

This fact is easy, Su Junqing said happily: "When the time comes, don't think I'm bothering you every day." ”

All the things on his mind were solved, he felt like pie in the sky, and sighed after being happy, his cousin and Ba Yi are still a family in the end, and his cousin is willing to help after a word, and he is an outsider after all.
