Chapter 14: Someone is scolding you when you sneeze
It was night, the moon and stars were sparse, and the breeze was slightly cool. Xi Yao was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, and Mo Bai's words echoed in his ears. Lethe Pavilion is a place that eats people, and if she is not careful, she will never return, but if she doesn't take a risk, she will never get a way to travel back to modern times. Now I already know that Lechuan Pavilion is a big pit, and it's up to me whether I jump or not......
"What's wrong, I can't sleep?" Mo Ying turned around, looked at Xi Yao who was staring at her with big eyes, and smiled warmly, "But what's the trouble?"
"Hmm... Yes. Xi Yao pursed her lips and suddenly clapped her hands, "By the way, let's have a drink, the ancients said that a drunk can relieve a thousand sorrows, maybe you can fall asleep when you are drunk." ”
Mo Ying was stunned, she knew that the man was good at wine, but she didn't expect Xiyao to be a greedy person, so she hesitated for a while and said, "It's okay to drink, but you have to get up early tomorrow to prepare breakfast, and you still have to train, will it be affected?"
Xi Yao thought of Chu Sheng's cold and stern face, and was a little stunned, but remembered that the book had said that the ancients had underdeveloped wine-making technology, and the liquor brewed from grain was only one or two, less than one-tenth of the modern one-third, so it should be no problem to drink a few glasses.
She waved her hand and said heroically: "It's okay, it's okay, I drink a lot of wine, people say that a thousand cups are not drunk, you fall and I still have it!"
Mo Ying looked at her suspiciously, "Okay..."
The two divided the labor, Xi Yao stir-fried, Mo Ying went to look for wine, and within half a moment, the fragrance of vegetables and wine wafted out of the house.
Xi Yao prepared three appetizers, namely pickled pepper edamame, braised chicken feet, and spicy beef jerky.
Nanyang is located in the south, late autumn is the most wonderful season for edamame, and then marinated with small green peppers for more than ten days, spicy and delicious, the most suitable for drinking and eating. The chickens raised by the house are delicious. The beef was cut and dried two months ago, chewy and chewy, and then stir-fried with chili noodles, millet spicy, pepper and other accessories.
I don't know where Mo Ying found the osmanthus wine is also very mellow and fragrant, the osmanthus flowering period has passed, presumably it was brewed in advance and buried in the ground, so the taste is so pure.
Bite!
With a soft sound, the two wine glasses touched, drank it all, and tasted two sips of appetizers, accompanied by the cold moonlight, which was very pleasant.
Mo Ying smiled faintly, lifted the wine jug and poured it again, "Are you in a better mood?"
"It's even more sad to drown your sorrows with wine, but it's better to have wine than nothing, and think about it tomorrow if you worry about something or something!"
"Don't be in a hurry to drink, otherwise you will get drunk easily. Mo Ying smiled.
"Really?" Xi Yao raised her eyebrows, this principle is still practical in modern times, but the alcohol content brewed in ancient times is too low to be intoxicating.
The two of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp, talking about their hearts, saying that they were talking, but in fact, from beginning to end, Xi Yao complained alone, Chu Sheng was stern and indifferent, Mo Bai didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and Shangguan Ying's scheming.
After five glasses of wine, Xi Yao's tongue was already knotted, and Mo Ying in front of him was also ghosted, and the latter still poured himself wine in an orderly manner, spoke clearly, and didn't look drunk at all.
Xi Yao dangled the wine glass around, her eyes were confused, "I, I said how to come and go, like Chu Sheng, is Brother Gongzi amazing!"
Her cheeks were red, her nose was full of alcohol, and she pouted with dissatisfaction. Mo Ying shook her head with a wry smile and snatched her wine glass, "I also said that I was not drunk with a thousand glasses, and I poured half of them without drinking them." ”
"Hey, hey!" Xi Yao saw that the wine glass was taken away, and hurriedly stepped forward to fish, but she couldn't resist Mo Ying, and she plopped on the table, muttering as if she was extremely aggrieved, "It's all bullying like Chu Sheng, sooner or later, one day the old lady will want you to run fifty laps around the Chu Mansion, and she will also want you to sit on the ice bed for a day, and she will also want you to ......"
Looking at Xi Yao Mo Ying, who was thinking about it, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, so she had to move this sleeping drunkard to the bed.
"Ahh
At that time, Chu Sheng was working in the room and sneezed uncomfortably.
Mo Baideng, who was about to fall asleep, woke up and handed Chu Sheng a piece of clothing, "Childe, it's cold? It's windy at night, and it's not good if you have a cold illness." ”
Chu Sheng looked out the window, the window was closed, he was silent for a moment, then concentrated on the official document again, and said lightly: "Who knows, it may be that someone is scolding me behind my back." ”
Mo Bai was stunned, "If you sneeze inexplicably, someone is scolding you in the dark!" He still heard Xiyao talk about this principle, but he didn't expect Gongzi to remember it.
......
The same moonlit night, under the same starry sky, the Xijia in the east of the city is a different scene.
Xi Ziyue's slender fingers pinched the Fang Jinpa, stared at the candle flame on the desk, and said viciously: "This damn Xi Yao, she is not dead, she still dares to write to her father for help, didn't you see her jump into the river with your own eyes!"
The woman sitting on the side trembled, trembling her lips, her eyebrows were still a little similar to Xi Ziyue, and she said cautiously: "Sister... Sister, it's all blamed for being incompetent, but I really watched her fall with my own eyes, and the water surface is no longer bubbling. ”
"Alright, don't talk about it!" she scolded, "Your subordinates are a bunch of useless waste, and you are embarrassed to come to me to ask for a reward, do you think you don't live long enough?!"
"Yes, what my sister said is that I will punish them when I go back. Xi Zichun lowered his eyebrows and admitted his mistake obediently, for fear that if he said something wrong, he would anger his sister again.
Xi Zichun quietly raised his eyes and quickly glanced at the angry face, and shuddering fear welled up in his heart, but he still said cautiously: "But sister, don't you think it's strange?"
Xi Ziyue frowned, "What's strange?"
"Xiyao, she doesn't know martial arts, and her personality is indecisive, how dare she write to her father for help. Even if he is imprisoned in the Chu Mansion, it is impossible to be reduced to the point of being a subordinate, as long as he explains his identity, the Chu family will definitely come to tell him. Kiko Chun analyzed.
Xi Ziyue snorted coldly, her eyes contemptuous, "Who knows what that weird broom star is thinking, it is estimated that she feels that she is talking lightly in the Xi family, even if she reveals her identity to the Chu family, it is impossible for anyone in the Xi family to be willing to save her, if she doesn't have any self-knowledge, she will be born in vain and live a lifetime, what is the difference between that and a beast." ”
Kiko Jun sneered, "That's what my sister said." ”
"No matter what, it's a matter of time before that broom star comes back, my father can't ignore his brother's children with a good face, but I can't let her ruin the second room!" Xi Ziyue's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and she said coldly: "Tell everyone in the mansion to give me a twelve-point spirit, and you must force that broom star to death as soon as possible." ”
"Yes. Xi Zichun nodded, and then hesitated: "But my brother's side..."
Xi Ziyue thought for a moment, touched her chin and said slowly: "Xi Zifeng was sent by the emperor to investigate the case, at least half a month, and at most I don't know how long it will take to come back." Therefore, I must let Xiyao disappear from the Xi family within half a month, I can't let her ruin my day!"
