Chapter Twenty-Three: The Covenant
Seeing them in such a hurry, Zhao Caolu and the others were shocked when they put it down, and only said that there was an accident when they discussed the matter, and asked solemnly: "What's wrong?" ”
I didn't want the king of Zhending County to come to him, but he asked: "You called the ancient imperial doctor?" But it's not good on the body? ”
"It's nothing, I just smelled the wine and vomited, Banniang and Qi Niang were worried, and they both proposed to call the ancient imperial doctor to take a look, so I followed them, and the ancient imperial physician left, and said that it was fine." Zhao Caolu only came to his senses that the king of Zhending County had heard that he was called the imperial doctor, and he rushed over with a heart, and he couldn't help but smile and speak in a gentle tone.
When the king of Zhending heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and complained to Su Yuyan: "Cousin, you want to drink, turn around and pull a car back, you are not reluctant, why do you have to drink alcohol everywhere here?" It's not that you don't know that your cousin-in-law is pregnant now, and she has never drunk much, where can she smell this? ”
Su Yuyan is a good wine, it is famous all over Chang'an, at this time, Mu Kong Chan and Tang Qianxia have been carried down and settled, Zhuo Zhaojie has no alcohol smell, and the king of Zhending County takes it for granted that Mu Kong Chan is leaving with Tang Qianxia temporarily, but it is Su Yuyan who drinks here alone that makes Zhao Caolu have morning sickness, he is worried about the heir, and his tone is inevitably heavier.
Su Yuyan was questioned, but she didn't show anything on her face, and said lightly: "I know, I won't be next time." ”
Hearing the coldness in her tone, King Zhending was feeling that something was wrong, Zhao Caolu had already hurriedly explained: "Shilang, don't blame Banniang, don't do Banniang's business, but just Sanniang and the third cousin drank too much and got drunk, I sent them into the house to settle down, and they got closer, and they were rushed by the smell of alcohol on their bodies." ”
When Shi Caifeng heard this, he was busy making apologies on behalf of Mu Kongciao, Zhao Caolu waved his hand and said: "It's my own carelessness, and besides, the ancient imperial doctor has also seen nothing, this time it also reminded me, take these things away in the future, it doesn't matter to others, not to mention that this is also sudden, otherwise, when you haven't left before, haven't you also had a few drinks?" I don't have anything either. ”
Only then did the king of Zhending know that he had wronged Su Yuyan - but Su Yuyan had already stood up and said calmly: "I suddenly remembered that I promised my mother to go back early today, and this time Chenguang is almost over, so I will leave first." ”
Although it didn't look like she was angry, Zhao Caolu explained in advance, and anyone knew that Su Yuyan was angry, and the king of Zhending County knew that he was at a loss, so he smiled bitterly and apologized, and said: "Good cousin, you don't have to worry about Lone, Lone Fangcai is also anxious for a while, so I blame you." ”
He added, "It doesn't matter if you are lonely, but your cousin-in-law has been thinking about you these days, and it is rare for you to come back, but you can accompany her more." ”
Zhao Caolu was also busy with the apology, Zhuo Zhaojie and others persuaded from the side, but Su Yuyan was very simple, she didn't listen to these persuasions at all, and turned around to leave, Zhao Caolu was in a hurry, and asked for a few steps to reach out and pull her sleeve, Su Yuyan was afraid that she was pregnant, and she didn't dare to struggle hard, but said with a slight smile: "Cousin, why do you have to do this?" I really promised to go back earlier behind the scenes, I don't believe you asked the fifth brother. ”
She has always had the style of a forest, and now she smiles and speaks with wide robes and big sleeves, and she looks at the wind and grace - it seems more and more repulsive to people thousands of miles away.
Su Yumo said with some embarrassment: "Mother said so, but every time you go out of the 'door', your mother tells you this, and you don't listen to it very much, and it's not too late to say it." ”
Su Yuyan smiled indifferently and said, "What the fifth brother said is not right, we have been bothering here for a while, you are embarrassed to continue to stay, I don't want to continue to bother." She said this more and more politely.
"If you say this, you blame me, this is also my fault, Shiro just came over and didn't know it, but I was stupid and didn't explain it clearly, which made you feel wronged." Zhao Caolu coaxed her softly, and the king of Zhending couldn't help but intercede, but Su Yuyan just shirked with a smile, but the more she spoke, the more distant she became, and the more polite the wording became, and in the end, she didn't even call her cousin and sister-in-law, and called the county king and the princess of the county again and again, and called the county king and Zhao Caolu very embarrassed.
Seeing that the scene was so frozen, Su Yumo was Su Yuyan's brother in the end, he sighed slightly, quietly pulled Ning Shaobi aside and said a few words, Ning Shaobi bowed slightly, and went over and said: "Cousin, what we just said is not over yet, why don't we 'hand' it over to my cousin-in-law here, let's go back and finish discussing it first?" ”
whispered in a low voice, "Now Cousin Su is on fire......"
"Cousin, don't leave, I'll go and finish talking to them first, and then come back to make amends to you, they are all flesh and blood' relatives, cousin can't be so annoyed with me because I was in a hurry." The king of Zhending County will be overwhelmed, and he hurriedly greeted Su Yuyan, leading everyone to avoid it for the time being, Zhao Caolu knew what Su Yumo meant, and while persuading Su Yuyan, he quietly made a look at Zhuo Zhaojie, Zhuo Zhaojie knew Su Yuyan's temper when he saw this scene, and since he said that he was going to leave in front of people, he would definitely not stay.
The only plan now is to branch everyone else, let Zhao Caolu talk to her alone, let Su Yuyan step down, turn around and come back, Zhending County King will say a few more soft words, and expose this face, if there are outsiders, maybe this Su Niangzi will feel shameless, but she thinks in her heart that she will forget it, and she can't say it.
Since the people of Zhending County King have avoided it, Zhuo Zhaojie got up and said: "Sister Mu and the little county lord of King Jin are very drunk now, and I don't know if they have a headache, I'll go and see them." ”
"I'm sorry for you." Zhao Caolu nodded, and sent the 'girl' to guide her.
Zhuo Zhaojie followed the envoy 'woman' to the wing room, turned the screen, and saw that there were two glazed couches in the south and one in the north, with a treasure tent hanging on it, and the curtain was half rolled at the moment, and a begonia-style small incense table between the two couches was on a gilded incense burner, which was spitting out curling green smoke, and the smoke was clear.
Mu Kongcian and Tang Qianxia were lying on two couches respectively, and the 'women' were close to the water, and they were holding a handkerchief to touch their foreheads and cheeks little by little, and when they saw Zhuo Zhaojie coming in, they were about to get up and salute.
Zhuo Zhaojie waved his hand at them and said in a low voice, "How is Sister Mu and the little county lord doing now?" ”
A messenger 'woman' whispered: "Xie Shizi's 'woman' asked, my wife will be asleep." ”
Another 'woman' said: "The county lord is ......."
I didn't want Tang Qianxia to just groan, turned over, and said, "Ah...... I have a headache. ”
Seeing this, Zhuo Zhaojie walked to her couch and said with a smile: "You drank too much, didn't you?" Originally, we all know that Sister Su has a good amount of alcohol, and you and Sister Mu together can't drink her, so you shouldn't have drunk so much before, but now it's still you who are uncomfortable, I think Sister Su is very good. He said to Ah Xing, "Go to the kitchen and ask for another decanting soup." ”
Tang Qianxia groaned and held his head, and said in a low voice: "Don't do that, the sobering soup is strange and unpalatable, I drank all the wine before, where can I drink the soup again?" ”
The maid who had served her before got up smartly and let Zhuo Zhaojie sit on the embroidered stool, and Zhuo Zhaojie said, "Then what do you want to eat?" Or take a hot cloth and put it on it? ”
"It's so stuffy in this room, I think it's better to go outside and blow the wind on the railing." Tang Qianxia 'rubbed' the corners of his forehead, and complained, "Hongcai, help me up." ”
Seeing this, Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly took a hand and reminded: "You should be careful." ”
In this way, Tang Qianxia was 'gotten' to the corridor outside the house, and the clever 'girl' in the county king's mansion had already taken a few brocade mats and put them on the beauty's back, Zhuo Zhaojie sat down with Tang Qianxia, and when he saw her looking worried, he said: "I think it's better to make a pot of tea, how much do you drink?" ”
Tang Qianxia snorted and chirped for a long time, obviously extremely uncomfortable, as if she had just reacted to what she said, closed her eyes and said inarticulately: "It's okay!" ”
The envoy of the county king's mansion made strong tea, Zhuo Zhaojie personally held it with Tang Qianxia, watched her drink a few sips, and sure enough, her eyes gradually became clearer, and she spat out the wine and said: "I really drank too much today." He smiled again and said, "I'm sorry for you to come and see us...... Well, I'm sorry for you today. ”
Zhuo Zhaojie has been familiar with Zhao Caolu, Su Yuyan, and Princess Yikang in the past two years, but he has always been a little close to Tang Qianxia, which Tang Qianxia asked, she smiled slightly, and said, "The county lord is too polite." ”
Tang Qianxia smiled, and suddenly said, "No, I have to thank you." She raised a finger and compared it in front of her, as if she thought for a moment, and said, "How about I give you a small portrait?" ”
Although Zhuo Zhaojie has never seen her paintings, he knows that the people who can enter the Chibane Poetry Society organized by Princess Yikang must have amazing skills, and he originally wanted to say that he didn't need her to thank him, and he swallowed it happily: "It's not worth being the county lord's Xie, but if you can have a county lord's ink treasure, it is excellent." ”
"Well, in two days you have chosen the clothes you want to wear, and let someone tell me, and I will draw one for you." Tang Qianxia said lazily.
Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly thanked her again, the two talked for a while, Tang Qianxia's wine surged, sleepiness came up, and she leaned on the beauty and gradually fell asleep - Zhuo Zhaojie saw this, so she asked the maid to help her go in and board the bed, and told people to watch carefully, thinking that Zhao Caolu should also appease Su Yuyan, so he went back to the table.
When I arrived at the place, I saw that Su Yuyan and Zhao Caolu had reconciled, and they talked and laughed together, and when they saw Zhuo Zhaojie coming back, they asked about Mu Kong Cicada and Tang Qianxia, Zhuo Zhaojie said: "Sister Mu slept deeply, the little county lord of King Jin didn't sleep yet, she had a headache, and she didn't want to eat sobering soup, I asked someone to make a pot of tea, she drank two, and now she feels sleepy, I asked the maid to help her lie back." ”
Zhao Caolu smiled and said, "Thank you, these two people, Ming'er will definitely have a headache together." Both of them seemed to have lost their temper at all just now.
After saying a few words, after a while, the king of Zhending County dispersed, everyone came back, and the king of Zhending County made peace with Su Yuyan again, Su Yuyan snorted: "For the sake of my cousin-in-law, I won't worry about you this time, but you will ask the last sentence before the next weirdo?" Can I still deny what everyone is seeing? Besides, I'm a good drinker, but how many times have I been drunk, or have I been unconscious? Just the little wine smell of the altar in this garden is still downwind, where can you smoke your cousin? ”
He said, "If you want to please your cousin, you can't step on me to make a raft." ”
King Zhending bowed and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, it's all my brother's fault, my cousin has a lot, don't worry about me?" ”
Su Yuyan recovered her lazy and talented 'woman' demeanor and said, "That's all for this matter, don't mention it again." ”
Everyone laughed a few more words, because Tang Qianxia and Mu Kong Cicada were drunk, Mu Kong Cicada was fine, and when the wind was around, he would take his wife back, but Tang Qianxia could only arrange for Zhao Caolu to send it.
On the way back, Zhuo Zhaojie told Ning Shaobi about Tang Qianxia's promise to paint for himself, and said: "I have always heard that this county lord Danqing's skills are very skillful, and I didn't have a chance before, but this time I got one by the way in order to avoid asking Sister Zhao to talk to Sister Su." ”
Ning Shaobi said with a smile when she heard this: "You said you liked it earlier, but it was just a matter of one sentence." ”
"It's not a must-have thing, before I was not so good as the little lord of King Jin that I could ask for a painting at will, but now she agreed to it herself." Zhuo Zhaojie tilted his head and thought for a while, "But I hope she doesn't forget it when she goes back, but she is very drunk!" ”
"If you forget, go tell her." Ning Shaobi 'touched' her sideburns and said with a smile.
