Chapter Fifty-Nine: Three Cups into a Dream
(a)
Bypassing the noisy main street and passing through a quiet alley, the four of them followed Feng Seniang to a quiet courtyard door.
The two strong men standing outside the door saw Feng Seniang, and they both hung their heads respectfully. At this time, a middle-aged woman dressed very fancyly also walked out of the courtyard.
Seeing four outstanding-looking men standing behind Feng Se Niang, the middle-aged woman's eyes couldn't help but light up, she half covered her mouth, and said with a smile: "Alas, Feng Se Niang, why did you go to solicit customers in person." ”
Feng Seniang's eyes were obviously a little heavy when she heard this, "Xunmei, these four are my distinguished guests, you go and arrange it." ”
Xun Mei saw Feng Seniang's face change, and immediately looked at the four of them respectfully, and said, "Four sons, please come with me." ”
After crossing the small bridge of flowing water and walking along the bluestone paved path for a short time, the four of them finally came to the main building of Cuifeng Building.
The faint sound of the piano, the faint aroma of wine.
Compared with the noisy red lights hanging high in front of the upstairs on Fangcai Street, and the noisy solicitation of customers by the small people on the side of the building, it looks much more elegant and chic.
Xunmei chose a pavilion for them near the lotus pond. As soon as the four of them were seated, a young-looking teenager walked in with a wine jug.
Seeing this, Xunmei hurriedly took it, mixed four cups herself, and said with a smile: "Four sons, sit down for a while, I will go to Zhang Luo for you, and find a few clever ones for you." ”
Looking for a few clever ones?
What flashed in Bai Hua's mind was the delicate appearance of the young man with light yarn on the second floor of the main street outside, thinking of this, he couldn't help but tremble, and then stood up, and hurriedly called: "This aunt, don't need it." ”
However, because she was in too much of a hurry, the eldest sister became an aunt.
Xun Mei Wenzhi's face froze, slowly turned around, pointed to his face, glared at him in surprise: "Auntie, who are you talking about? ! Hmph~"
After saying this, Xunmei threw several blank eyes at her before leaving angrily. This time, I was stunned and never came back.
The four of them sat for a while, and Bai Shi was invited out by a little girl, on the grounds that Feng Seniang wanted to talk to him alone. Bai Shiyi held his forehead and secretly glanced at the direction where Bai Shi left. It didn't take long for him to find a reason to go to the thatched house and leave the table.
In the blink of an eye, only Bai Hua and Qin Binbin were left in the pavilion.
Bai Hua leisurely half-snuggled by the pavilion, looking up at the bright moon hanging in the air.
The cool breeze is breezy and the lotus fragrance is faint.
Bai Huawu muttered to himself: If others don't say it, I really can't see that this is a place to look for flowers and willows.
"Childe, what a coincidence. ”
When he was out of his mind, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him. Bai Hua turned his head to look, not thinking that this person was the person who won himself a few days ago and won the Moonlight Cup.
Ming Yuan had a faint smile on his lips, and said as if a little teasingly: "I thought Childe was a gentle gentleman, and I didn't want to meet here today, it seems that Childe also likes it..."
The pause in Ming Yuan's words was also deliberate.
Bai Hua dragged his chin with one hand, his eyebrows were faint, and he asked softly, "Isn't that son here the same as me?"
The person in front of him sat down uninvited, mixed a glass of sake, and continued: "Listening to the tone of Childe's speech, is it blaming me for winning the moonshine cup that day?"
Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned. Won by only one vote that day, what is there to show off?!Huh~ How do you feel that it is only the two of us who are talking?
After not seeing Qin Binbin speak for a long time, Bai Hua glanced sideways. It's okay not to look at it, but when I look at it, the skin and the corners of the eyes twitch violently.
I saw Qin Binbin's face flushed, holding a white porcelain wine glass in one hand and a piece of osmanthus cake in the other, and he was already drunk on the mat.
When did he drink alcohol?!
Ming Yuan couldn't help but snort when he saw it, but then he couldn't help but smile and said, "Your friend is so funny!"
Funny? People are drunk like this, where do you see the fun?
Bai Hua rubbed his forehead and shook Qin Binbin a few more times with his hand. But no matter how you get it, he doesn't move at all. Apparently, he was very drunk.
"Moonlight cup, I can give it to you. Ming Yuan saw that Bai Hua ignored his love, so he used a trick that worked the most.
Sure enough, when he heard the words 'moonlight cup', Bai Hua's ears couldn't help but move.
It took so much effort to win the cup, can he give it to himself for nothing?! Bai Hua showed disbelief on his face.
"Don't you like the moonshine cup very much, why are you willing to give it to me?"
Ming Yuan seemed to guess Bai Hua's thoughts, and continued: "That cup is indeed something I got with great difficulty, but I think that Gongzi is also a person who likes tea. It's rare to meet someone who knows tea so well, so why don't you gamble with Mingyuan again?"
"Bet on what?"
"There is a kind of wine in this Cuifeng Building, which is called 'Three Cups into a Dream'. If you can still walk two or three steps normally after drinking three cups in a row, I will give you the white-glazed moonshine cup. ”
Without waiting for Bai Hua to respond, he turned around and beckoned to the little guy who was waiting not far away.

Bai Hua looked at the white porcelain cup on the table with calm eyes, and confirmed to Ming Yuan again: "After three cups, after three steps, this cup will be mine?"
"Not bad!" Ming Yuan put the moonlight cup on the table and walked to the pavilion.
After pondering for a moment, Bai Hua picked up the wine glass and slowly brought it to his lips. Seeing that she was about to raise her hand to drink the wine, the person leaning on the edge of the pavilion pillar, the corners of her mouth gradually raised an arc of unknown truth.
Bai Hua chuckled, and raised the wine glass to his lips in front of his eyes to take a closer look, "Is this wine really so strong?" If so, I was drunk after three glasses, and you ran away, then wouldn't I drink it for nothing?"
Ming Yuan's body paused slightly, and the smile on his face deepened, "Childe said that he laughed, I am the pianist of this Cuifeng Building, where can I go? Isn't Childe afraid of losing to me again?"
Lose again? Heh, he even used the agitation method.
Although he knew that he said this on purpose, Bai Hua never knew much about the previous defeat by one vote. After all, the two people who voted in the final key vote knew him.
"I'm afraid?!" Bai Hua instantly restrained his smile, and his fingers holding the wine glass were slightly pale as well.
"Seeing that Childe is so confident, I almost believed it. But now, what are you afraid of? I'm afraid that if you're drunk, I won't give you a cup?" Ming Yuan said lightly on his face, but in fact, he had already poured oil on the fire again.
As he spoke, his slender black eyes glanced at the outside of the pavilion, and then said, "Since you don't gamble, forget it." ”
As soon as he spoke, he reached for the moonlight cup on the table.
"Wait. Bai Hua hurriedly put his hand on the moonlight cup.
Ming Yuan leaned over and smiled, puzzled, "What?"
Bai Hua silently took the wine glass, closed his eyes and drank it all.
Originally, I thought that this 'three glasses of dreaming' would be a spicy spirit, but I didn't want to eat without a trace of burning throat, but the taste was soft, and the lips and teeth still had the aroma of wine.
The second and third cups were drunk one after another, just as sweet and soft. Bai Huawu looked at the empty wine glass, so he was not confused.
Seeing that she had finished drinking all three glasses, Ming Yuan sat down beside her and asked in a low voice, "How is this wine?"
Bai Hua looked sideways at Ming Yuan, slowly raised his hand and compared three, and said, "Three steps, you are optimistic." ”
After speaking, he slowly stood up. However, just like that, my head suddenly felt dizzy. As a result, the vision became blurry.
With another shake, Bai Hua immediately held on to the edge of the table. His heart burned like a blazing fire, his cheeks were hot, and his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat.
"This wine seems to be soft on the palate, but it is actually very powerful. Childe, can you still take three steps?"
Bai Hua shook his head, squinted his eyes again, looked at Ming Yuan, who had turned into three ghosts, and said stubbornly: "This son will give you three steps, you are optimistic." ”
After speaking, he propped his hand on the edge of the table and stabilized his body. Because he was so drunk, the soles of his feet were so soft that he couldn't do it. After a few swayings, he took the first step with difficulty.
Bai Hua frowned slightly, closed his eyes and slowed down his eyes that couldn't see the road clearly, dragged his legs and moved a small step forward, and Ming Yuan's voice behind him was already very ethereal.
"Childe, there's one more step. Ming Yuan got up and stood behind her and kindly reminded.
One-step?
Bai Hua smiled and turned his head away, shook his crumbling body, and said vaguely: "The last step, you see..."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Hua was dizzy for a while, and then leaned back. It happened that Ming Yuan was behind him, and he was about to catch her as soon as he stretched out his hand.
(c)
At this time, a gust of wind blew past Ming Yuan. Immediately afterwards, Bai Hua, who was close at hand, disappeared.
But even so, Ming Yuan did not show surprise, but the corners of his mouth curved, revealing a bit of evil color. However, these expressions disappeared without a trace in the moment of turning.
His face was stunned, he raised his hand to the person holding Bai Hua, and asked tremblingly, "You, who are you?"
Netherworld stiffened and didn't respond, just stared down at the drunken man snuggled in his arms.
"Oh, I remember, that day Qingfeng Lou competed, and you were with this son. Ming Yuan's face eased, and he wanted to approach the two again.
It was only halfway through his foot that he was stopped by two cold rays of light.
The Netherworld said in a deep voice, "What kind of wine did she drink?"
His voice was as cold as ice, and his deep black eyes could not see joy and anger, but he felt that at this time, there was an invisible cold air all over his body.
Ming Yuan took a few steps back and said lightly: "That's called three cups of falling asleep, although this wine is intoxicating, but it's fine to sleep." I think he's very drunk, or else the two of you will be here tonight..."
"No need. The ghost intercepted what he wanted to say, and then picked up Bai Hua horizontally and left towards the outside of the pavilion.
There was an evil smile on Ming Yuan's lips, but his voice was pretending to be anxious, "Hey, there is another one here who is also drunk, what should he do?"
Nether didn't stop, but said in a deep voice, "Someone will come to pick him up." ”
Seeing the two leave, Ming Yuan brushed his sleeves and sat against the low table. After looking at the drunk and unconscious people around him, he took a wine jug and mixed a glass with himself.
With the sake in his throat, he looked at the moonlight cup on the table, and said to himself lightly: "Bai Hua, it's really your weakness." ”
