Chapter 22: The Amount of Alcohol
After a while, Zhao Caolu asked the 'girl' to talk to Tang Qianxia and the others, and then said to Zhuo Zhaojie: "Let's go, take you to see the people I picked." ”
The courtyard arranged by Zhao Caolu for the family is in the northeast corner of the palace, the location is remote, the courtyard wall is higher than other places, and there are four or five mothers-in-law with big shoulders and round waists guarding the courtyard 'door', who are leaning against the wall and gossiping, and when they saw Zhao Caolu bringing people here, they hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said, "Princess of the county." ”
Because I didn't recognize Zhuo Zhaojie, I only gave a salute.
"Open the 'door', and I'll take the 'woman' of the Hou Shizi of Yongcheng in to have a look." Zhao Caolu bowed his head slightly and commanded.
The head of the mother-in-law hurriedly untied a key from the waist down, it turned out that although someone looked here, but the courtyard 'door' was still locked, unlocked, pushed open the 'door', but saw that the courtyard is a very flat blue brick floor, surrounded by some dwarf Hui wood embellishment, but knee high, at this moment there are two columns of about sixteen little ladies wearing light gauze clothes holding color exercises, dancing in the court, two rows of little ladies before, two wearing silk 'color' dance clothes, look at the age is almost thirty years, but still not out of the pavilion costumes' The women put their hands behind their backs and stared intently at their every move.
Xu heard the sound of the courtyard 'door' opening, and some people in the little lady who was dancing in a row were either curious or subconscious, and looked at the courtyard 'door', but the two 'women' who looked like teachers didn't blink their eyes, and immediately shouted when they saw this: "Pay attention!" ”
This reminder is late, the two little ladies who were distracted because they were in the queue, because they looked at it so late, turned around late, and were bumped into by the companions in front of them and behind them, and suddenly a stumbling stumble, followed by a group of people bumped together, and even a little lady was stepped on too much skirt, screamed and staggered and fell, and the two columns of little ladies who had advanced and retreated and danced in a similar manner suddenly rolled into a ball.
Seeing a scene where he was so busy and 'chaotic' as soon as he entered the 'door', Zhao Caolu couldn't help frowning and said, "What kind of 'sex' is this?" ”
"The princess of the county forgive me." The two teachers in the scarlet dance clothes did not come to see the ceremony until this time, and explained with a wry smile, "Now these people have just bought them, and it will take a few days to teach them on the stage." ”
Zhuo Zhaojie came here today to learn how to pick a house, and he didn't come to see singing and dancing, so he gently touched Zhao Caolu and said angrily: "Now that you have a body, it's better not to be angry." ”
"It's not a thing to be angry about." At the mention of being pregnant, Zhao Caolu's expression really eased, and the sorrow in his eyes also retreated, and said, "Even if you said that you wanted to learn to pick people, but I picked these things, and I lost such a big face as soon as I saw it." ”
Zhuo Zhaojie said with a smile: "It sounds like it didn't take long for you to buy them, even if you bought a good horse, you have to raise it for two years to grow up before it can be used, as long as the seedlings are good, there are occasional mistakes, and it's not on the table, what's the matter?" ”
The two of them said such a few words of gossip, and those little ladies who practiced dancing had already gotten up, timidly lined up in two columns, and they didn't dare to come out.
Zhao Caolu led Zhuo Zhaojie to look, pointed to the two little ladies at the front of the two columns and said, "Look at these two people." ”
The two little ladies are more beautiful than other little ladies, the left column is a pretty melon seed face, not depicting the distant mountain eyebrows, apricot eyes, Yao nose cherry 'lips', with double snails, although only take the color silk to tie the hair, but standing there, the wind blows the clothes, the pavilion 'jade' stands, there is a sense of light.
The little lady in the right column looks slightly worse than the one on the left, but at a young age, she seems to be born charming, obviously looking at the 'female' owner with trepidation and worry, but the peach 'flower' eyes that are upturned at the corners of her eyes look like hooks.
These little ladies are not very old, and the longest looks like they are only twelve or thirteen years old, most of them are under the age of ten, Zhuo Zhaojie looked carefully, all of them had upright and beautiful facial features, although their bodies could be budded, but through the thin and visible profane clothes, they could also see that the skin was smooth and flawless, and the bones were well-proportioned.
Zhao Cao said: "I am preparing to lead the dance in the future with the first two." ”
"The first one should look better." Zhuo Zhaojie nodded, "The two that Sister Zhao chose are the most beautiful of these." ”
Zhao Caolu said with a smile: "Whether this looks good or not, it also depends on who said it, when I picked the two of them out before, compared to others, I also think it's good, now you are here, I look at you, and then look at them, I can't help but wonder if I didn't have long eyes when I picked someone?" ”
"Sister Zhao said this." Zhuo Zhaojie smiled slightly and said, "If Sister Zhao wants to think so, why do you need to look at me?" Just ask someone to bring a mirror on your body. ”
The two complimented each other - this is also a silent 'color' to beat these people again, so that they don't think that they can get ahead with a little bit of 'color', and they have to listen honestly in the end.
So Zhao Caolu pointed out a few people who danced the best, carefully explained to Zhuo Zhaojie the places to pay attention to when picking these people, and asked them to stretch out their hands and take off their shoes, so that Zhuo Zhaojie could see it. ”
Zhuo Zhaojie roughly summed up the experience of Zhao Caolu, in fact, it is similar to picking people, so the eyes are 'chaotic' and look at the dishonest people don't want it, people who are too stupid obviously can't want it, to be smart and clever to look at the 'color', but also can't be too smart and the heart is too big; the appearance can't be too bad, so that it can't be too good to come out to perform and ruin the guests' interest, but it can't be too good, beware of pitting yourself; because it is to practice singing and dancing, the body must be soft, and the hands and feet must be born well, as for the kabuki, it is natural to add a voice that is sweet and crisp and loud, and the musicality is good- However, on the way back to the table, Zhao Caolu said: "Now they are all provoked from a young age, and when they are in their teens, when they fall into their voices, if they are broken, then they can only turn to be maiko, so it is better to ask them to sing and dance together, otherwise they will be raised for nothing, if the dance practice is not good, at least you have to learn some piano flute and the like, in short, you will not know anything so stupid or give it away or sell it well, so as not to bring other people bad." ”
When the two returned to the table, the study had not dispersed, but the results of the previous wine fight had already come out - of course, Su Yuyan overturned Tang Qianxia and Mu Kong Cicada alone, Zhao Caolu and Zhuo Zhaojie saw Mu Kong Cicada lying unconscious on the table as soon as they came back, Tang Qianxia leaned over the desk and seemed to be asleep, only Su Yuyan was still 'spirited' and calm, holding the wine bottle with a dignified demeanor, taking a sip on the left and a sip on the right, Le Taotao drank it, and the dishes in front of him almost didn't move.
Zhao Caolu and Zhuo Zhaojie glanced at each other, both a little speechless......
"Go get the decanter soup." Zhao Caolu was speechless for a long time and said with a wry smile.
Since there is a banquet, the sobering soup is always prepared, and after a while, the 'female' took it, and Tang Qianxia, Mu Kongciao's personal envoy 'female', was busy for a long time, and then fed the two of them, and called to fetch water to wash their hands and noodles for them, so tossed for a long time, the two of them finally sobered up, Mu Kongcia opened his hazy drunken eyes, looked around, and said to Su Yuyan, who was still drinking one after another not far away: "Hey, why are there two Baniang here?" ”
Su Yuyan laughed and said, "My cousin-in-law has been busy for so long, but you haven't woken up yet?" ”
When Mu Kongcian heard this, he said very soberly: "Who said I didn't wake up?" Su Yuyan, Zhao Caolu, and Zhuo Zhaojie all thought that she was actually awake, but it was a deliberate joke, and she was about to laugh and speak, but she didn't want Mu Kong Cicada to follow and lean behind her, so frightened that the 'girl' hurriedly held on, and saw her head tilted and continued to sleep......
"Last time, it was the little lord of King Jin, and this time it was Sister Mu." Seeing this, Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't help laughing out loud and said, "It's really interesting." ”
When she mentioned it, Su Yuyan also remembered what happened two years ago, and couldn't help but put down the wine bottle, and said with a grin: "It's a pity that the sixth aunt wasn't here this time, and you didn't come over just now, otherwise you could have fought again." ”
"I don't dare drink more now." Zhuo Zhaojie shook his head with a smile, "There are a lot of things in the house, and they haven't been fully sorted out by this point, if they are drunk, they will pile up even more." ”
Zhao Cao said: "Hey, have you ever fought wine before?" ”
"The first time I entered the palace." Zhuo Zhaojie roughly talked about the experience of fighting wine during the audience two years ago, Zhao Caolu heard it, and stroked his lower abdomen regretfully and said: "I've been inconvenient in the past few months, otherwise I will go to the sixth aunt's side and make sure to drink the two of you!" ”
Zhuo Zhaojie didn't know her details, and when she saw her so confident, she thought that she had a good amount of alcohol, and was about to speak, but she didn't want Su Yuyan to unceremoniously poke it: "Your amount of alcohol is so amazing, who dares to ask you to end?" ”
Hearing this, Zhuo Zhaojie felt that Su Yuyan's tone was a little strange, and Zhao Caolu was already blushing with a weak heart, and said, "I can at least drink two sips, and I can also ask you to drink more...... Maybe you will pour two more sips? ”
Su Yuyan said to Zhuo Zhaojie: "Don't think that what she said about drinking two sips is to mean that the amount of alcohol is average, in fact, she just listened to this sentence literally, saying two sips, and not taking half a drop." ”
Zhuo Zhaojie smiled and was surprised, and said, "What if it's too much?" ”
"More?" Su Yuyan glanced at Zhao Caolu and said, "You can ask her!" ”
Zhao Caolu saw Zhuo Zhaojie looking at him, thought for a moment, couldn't get off the stage, and hummed: "What an unlikable Su Banniang, I'll make a joke, you have to be more serious." ”
Su Yuyan said lazily: "Good cousin-in-law, I'm afraid of you!" I'm afraid you're going to drink it, and you don't want to think about how terrible your drinking is! When I drank a bowl of mulberry wine at the banquet, I immediately smashed the cup and laughed and shouted, and insisted on rewarding the hairpin bracelet to the people below, and the four or five 'women' couldn't hold it, so we were so scared that we hurriedly asked for a doctor, and said What's wrong with you, it turned out that you were drunk! ”
Su Yuyan said to Zhuo Zhaojie, "You come to comment on this reason, if she just can't drink, she will be so drunk, forget it, let's see a joke, but when she drinks high, it makes people unable to live in peace - how can we take such a person?" ”
Zhuo Zhaojie listened, laughed, and nodded: "It's this Li'er." ”
"Two people who have no conscience, one who has been drinking my wine until now, and the other who has only visited me, now say that they don't take me." When Zhao Caolu heard this, he snorted and said softly, "Next time, I will ask someone to add water to your wine and sprinkle salt in your dishes!" ”
Ah Xing and Ah Li, who were behind Zhuo Zhaojie, heard the word "sprinkling salt", and they couldn't help but feel a little weak, and they looked at their noses and noses more and more......
"It's better to send people to a place with a 'bed' to lie down quickly." Zhuo Zhaojie didn't notice the two maids, but saw that Tang Qianxia seemed to be drunk and couldn't lie on the food table, and there was a tendency to fall to the ground along the food table, so he proposed.
Zhao Caolu nodded, took advantage of the situation to cover up the words that she had boasted of her drinking, and instructed her subordinates to place the person in the side room with support, because she didn't have much alcohol, and now she is pregnant, and Mu Kong Cicada and Tang Qianxia will be all full of alcohol, Zhao Caolu is so strong, she wants to take care of the past in person, and it happens that the smell of wine is blowing in the limelight, she can't help but change her face, holding the hand of the maid, and hurriedly rushed to the back of the screen, followed by the sound of vomiting!
Zhuo Zhaojie and Su Yuyan were both taken aback and said, "What's wrong?" ”
The two followed to the screen and looked, Zhao Caolu was held by the messenger 'girl' and vomited there endlessly, for a long time, she took the water handed by the messenger 'girl' and rinsed her mouth, she looked up with an ugly face, and then took a few breaths before she could say: "...... Xu was just smelling the wine. ”
Su Yuyan was surprised: "Didn't you have nothing when we drank before?" ”
"At that time, I was upwind, and here it was outside, and I didn't smell much wine, so it was downwind, and the wind blew the smell of wine on their bodies, and suddenly I couldn't stand it." Zhao Caolu pinched the handkerchief, and his face was very unsightly.
Zhuo Zhaojie saw that her face was ugly after she vomited, and shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter what it is, you are a double body now, don't sit down first than before." ”
Su Yuyan was also reluctant to ask someone to clean up the wine, although so, both of them were afraid that Zhao Caolu would have a body for the first time, but there was no accident, so they suggested calling the doctor - fortunately, the queen and the princess both attached importance to Zhao Caolu's birth, and directly sent a imperial doctor surnamed Gu to guard in the palace of Zhending County, although Zhao Caolu didn't feel how his stomach was, but he also felt that it was good to let the imperial doctor take a look, so he sent someone to invite the ancient imperial doctor.
Hearing what the imperial doctor said, they didn't even prescribe the 'medicine', and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
However, after a while, I saw the king of Zhending Jun, and the people who had gone to the study before hurried back, and everyone looked solemn, as if something big had happened.
