Chapter 138: Drunkenness
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!
When Lu Zhiyuan first arrived, he suffered several dark losses, the most serious of which was the strike of salt merchants.
There was no salt to sell in the whole Jinling City overnight, and the people could not do without salt for three meals a day, and in less than three days, there was a commotion in the city.
Lu Zhiyuan was so anxious that he went to see those salt merchants several times, but without exception, the other party was unified, and now there is no salt to sell.
Bai Zhi saw that Lu Zhiyuan was so anxious, and her heart also became anxious, and her head hurt and she didn't come up with a good idea.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Bottler also followed to find a way, not to mention that she really thought of a good idea, "Sister, if the adults give up on investigating the case of the salt merchants' collusion, those salt merchants will naturally reopen the salt market without threat." ”
Although Bai Zhi has known Lu Zhiyuan for a short time, he is inexplicably sure in his heart that he will not give up pursuing the case, not only will he not give up, but he will also investigate to the end and find out those moths one by one.
She thought so in her heart, but she also knew that the vial's method was the most feasible one now.
The salt merchants did not open the market, and the people had no salt to eat, so they naturally wanted to make trouble, and when the matter became big, the blame from above was naturally the responsibility of Lu Zhiyuan, the salt secretary.
Early the next morning, Bai Zhi got up early, went to the kitchen to boil rice porridge, fried a few steamed buns, prepared some light side dishes, and went to the study.
Inside the room, the man leaned back in a chair, his eyebrows were deeply mixed with a little tiredness, Bai Zhi knew that it was another night without sleep, and there was a faint distress in his heart.
"My lord, I asked the kitchen to boil some porridge, you can come and drink some."
Lu Zhiyuan opened his eyes and saw a pair of worried eyes looking at him, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, got up from the chair, came to the table and sat down, "I said you don't have to get up so early, people will bring the food." ”
Bai Zhi's eyes were slightly strange, and she didn't know how to understand what she said.
What is the meaning of food will be delivered by the people, she is not the people. Her current identity is Lord Lu's eldest maid, shouldn't this job of serving him be her own business.
In other words, she must have asked, but now she also knew that Lu Zhiyuan was worried about the salt merchant's strike, so she naturally couldn't distract him with this little thing.
"I can't sleep anyway." Bai Zhi smiled, took a bowl of rice porridge in a white porcelain bowl, and put it in front of Lu Zhiyuan.
"You haven't eaten either, sit down and use some with me." Lu Zhiyuan said as he stretched out his hand and naturally took her hand to sit next to him, and pushed the porridge bowl in front of her, "I don't like to drink porridge, I eat steamed buns." ”
Bai Zhi didn't know if this was true or not, probably true, because he had no reason to lie to himself.
originally wanted to refuse, but at Lu Zhiyuan's insistence, she still sat down and had breakfast together.
The man ate much faster than the woman, and when Bai Zhi had just eaten half of the bowl of porridge, he had already put down his chopsticks.
"I'm going out tonight, I may come back late at night, you don't have to wait for me, you can sleep first when you are sleepy." He watched as she spoke in a light tone.
This sounds ordinary, but if you look into it, it doesn't look like talking to an ordinary maid at all.
Familiar, natural, as if the tone had been used a thousand times before.
Bai Zhi was slightly stunned, and she didn't know if it was because of his tone or something else, "My lord, are you going to meet those salt merchants?" ”
Lu Zhiyuan has never talked about officialdom with women, but this will really be a headache for this matter, and she happened to ask, so she also wanted to find someone to talk about.
"It's true, you must have heard that the salt merchants in the city have been on strike for three days." Lu Zhiyuan spoke in a deep tone.
Bai Zhi heard that he was willing to tell him this, and knew that he trusted himself in his heart, and he was inexplicably a little happy.
"I've heard some of the little bottles say that the salt merchants don't have any salt to sell at home."
"That's all liars, what has no salt to sell, it's obviously a compromise to unite and compromise with me." Lu Zhiyuan slapped the table hard, shaking the dishes on the table and crackling.
Bai Zhi didn't expect that she would ask like this, and let him react like this, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
Lu Zhiyuan also noticed that his tone was heavy for a while, and when he saw her look panicked, his expression softened, "I'm not losing my temper with you, don't be afraid." ”
Bai Zhi was not afraid, but a little distressed, those salt merchants colluded together, and it must have caused a big problem for Lord Lu.
"I'm not afraid, my lord, have you figured out what to do?"
Lu Zhiyuan sighed deeply, what can he do about this matter now, only he can compromise for the time being to stabilize the current situation.
But the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, this was the first round he went to Jinling to fight with the salt merchants, and he was defeated.
"Didn't they want me to give up the pursuit, and I let them do it this time." As he spoke, the expression on his face cooled a little, and there was a dark tide surging in his dark eyes.
Bai Zhi took a look and estimated what countermeasures he should have, so he nodded and didn't ask much.
In the evening, Lu Zhiyuan really didn't come back, and Bai Zhi couldn't let go. Listening to Xiao Bottle, Lord Lu invited the salt merchants to a banquet in Zuixianglou today, and he was probably ready to give in.
Lu Zhiyuan didn't come back, and he didn't know if he would come back, so Bai Zhi went back to the house to prepare to rest.
Lying in bed, he couldn't sleep, so he tossed and turned, and finally put on his clothes and went out.
There was no one in the backyard of the Lu Mansion at night, it was quiet. Bai Zhi unconsciously walked to the study.
Stretched out his hand to push open the door, there was no charcoal fire in the house, it seemed a little cold, Bai Zhi shivered, thinking that Lord Lu should not have come back yet, and turned around to leave.
Before she could take a step, her arm was suddenly grasped, and then she was pulled with a strong force, and her body leaned straight into the room.
"Ahh
Bai Zhi's heart was shocked, and before the exclamation could sound, the person had already been pulled closer to the house, her back was against the door panel, the door was closed, her heart was beating fast, and her breathing was rapid.
The man pressed his hands on her shoulders, lowered his head and smiled softly, his body was strong with the smell of alcohol, and the light in the room was very dim, she could not see the man's face, only some angular outlines.
"Adult ......"
"Call me Second Master." A low, deep voice echoed faintly in her ears like bewitchment.
Bai Zhi felt that this title was indescribably close, she opened her mouth and felt that she couldn't call it, but the man in front of her had been waiting quietly, as if she wouldn't stop if she didn't speak.
The strong sense of oppression made her feel uncomfortable, Bai Zhi swallowed her saliva, and compromised in a low voice, "Second, second master." ”
"Good."
Angelica Angelica, "......"
Lu Zhiyuan really drank too much, so much that he had always been calm and self-controlled, and he couldn't walk steadily, swaying as if he could fall down anytime and anywhere.
Fortunately, there is a resting bed in the study, but he doesn't have to go far, he finally got to the inner room, and just helped the person to lie down, Bai Zhi was about to turn around and pour a glass of water and was unexpectedly pulled by his arm, this time he fell down in a daze. The body hit the man's chest, which shocked her dizzy, and as soon as her brain came back to her senses, the person had already turned over and pressed down.
In the up and down posture, the man supports his body with his arms and places them on both sides of her head, which forms a natural surrounding, trapping her in this world, and the tip of her nose lingers with the unique breath of the man.
"Big ...... Second master. As if sensing the man's displeasure, she quickly changed her words.
Seeing her acquaintance, the man smiled in a low voice, and the smell of wine sprayed on her face, crispy and numb, and extremely intoxicating.
"Second master, you pressed me." Bai Zhi stretched out her hand and pushed the person in front of her, but her strength was too small, and the man didn't move.
"Do you want to run?"
Bai Zhi was poked in the heart, a little uncomfortable, pursed her lips and said, "No, I just want to pour you a glass of water to drink." ”
The man chuckled again, "It's okay if you want to run, I'll get you back wherever you run." ”
The tone of the swearing, the tone that seems to be smiling but not smiling.
Bai Zhi didn't know what to say for a while, her mouth just moved, and suddenly her pupils were stunned, and the whole person froze.
The man's lips fell, and a bang exploded in her mind, and her thoughts were completely confused at this moment, and she even forgot how to react.
The kiss was very light and soft, like tasting a glass of wine, and like smelling the fragrance of flowers, and the smell of a man mixed with a strong smell of wine, lingering between her lips and tongue.
Bai Zhi's eyes were blurred a little bit, and a voice in her heart reminded her that she should refuse, not like this. She's not a whole person, and she doesn't even know if she has a past.
But I don't know what's wrong, the kiss fell, and her body seemed to be obviously awakened, and she couldn't help but want to get closer.
The man kissed her lips, her nose, her forehead, her cheeks, and moved down a little bit.
The sound of breathing in the room was noticeably short, and her heart was raised, and her hands were tightly gripping the man's shirt, and the obviously flustered eyes still revealed her nervous emotions at the moment.
Lu Zhiyuan was in a very bad mood, it can be said that he had never been so bad, the salt merchants at tonight's banquet were extremely arrogant, and they seemed to be polite but slapped him in the face every word, but he couldn't refute it, he could only listen.
These people control the salt market, and the impact of a collective strike is incalculable.
When he first arrived, he made such a big mistake, and he showed his hole cards first without knowing the enemy, and he was so reversed.
I drank a lot of wine, but the more I drank, the more sober I felt, and the mood when I returned to the house was extremely bad, he didn't alarm anyone, and sat alone in the study for a long time. Unexpectedly, footsteps sounded outside, and he heard Bai Zhi's voice, and his heart was uneasy for a while.
When her clothes were half faded, Bai Zhi seemed to think of something, and she was surprised that she still had some expectations in her heart.
Although Lu Zhiyuan drank a lot of wine, his brain was always clear, and he didn't know what was going on, when suddenly the wine came up, and his brain was dizzy.
"Don't leave me."
Bai Zhi listened to the man's low voice rubbing her ears, she didn't have time to respond, and it was like being poured down by a basin of cold water.
"Susu ......"
