Chapter 9: Drunkenness
The time of solitude between lovers is always short and passes in the blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the middle of the moon.
A large bright moon hung above the night sky, reflecting the moonlight that filled the lake.
A bottle of "Drunk Life and Dream Death" was drunk by most of the two, even if both of them were cultivators in the stage of returning to the truth, and at the same time constantly used cultivation to resolve the power of alcohol, they were still drunk.
Qi Xuansu drank less, about five or six points drunk, Zhang Yuelu drank more, although her cultivation was higher, she was still seven or eight points drunk.
Seeing that it was getting late, it was time to go back. Qi Xuansu joked, "Can you still walk?" Do you want me to carry you back? ”
Zhang Yuelu shook her head and said, "What kind of place is this, let others see it, what's going on?" Besides, you can't stand on your own feet, and you still carry me, I'm afraid that the two of us will roll into the lake together. ”
Qi Xuansu was originally joking, so naturally he would not force it, so the two supported each other and walked back together.
Zhang Yuelu didn't forget to bring the unfinished half bottle of "Drunk Life and Dream Death".
Fortunately, Zhang Yuelu's study is located in the deepest part of the entire courtyard, separated from the front yard by a moon door. So I didn't see half a person along the way, so the two of them helped each other to the door of the study.
It is said that it is a study, but it is actually three rooms inside and outside, the inner two are Zhang Yuelu's living room, and the outer room serves as the office signing room and living room.
Then Zhang Yuelu reacted a little: "Where are you going to live tonight?" Your room should be on Lei Zhenren's side. ”
Qi Xuansu pretended to be stupid and said, "Where to stay, aren't we going to talk all night?" ”
If it was Zhang Yuelu in normal times, he would naturally not agree, but at this time, Zhang Yuelu was very drunk, although he did not know the personnel, but his brain was dizzy, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's talk all night." ”
The two entered the study, Qi Xuansu went to light the candles, and Zhang Yuelu casually put "Drunk Life and Dream Death" on the table, turned around and went to the inner room.
She seemed to have forgotten about Qi Xuansu's existence, because her movements were very natural, as if she was usually alone. She didn't seem to have forgotten Qi Xuansu's existence, because she hadn't forgotten to lock the door casually.
Qi Xuansu had no choice but to sit on the bench next to the coffee table.
It didn't take long for Qi Xuansu to hear the sound of water inside. Judging by the volume of the voice, it is not a face wash, it should be a bath.
If you talk about prosperity, Jinling Mansion is not inferior to Dijing or Yujing, Zhenwuguan as the largest Taoist temple in Jinling Mansion, often receives dignitaries with respectable status, so in addition to covering a vast area, the inside is also very good.
Take Zhang Yuelu's residence as an example, the one-color Huanghuali furniture, and the paper, pen, ink and inkstone on the bookcase are obviously of the highest quality, and they are neatly arranged. On the table, the tea sets on the coffee table are all high-quality fine porcelain, and there are vases and antiques.
Although kerosene lamps already existed, many people thought that candles were more stylish. Therefore, there are candlesticks of various colors, including standing candlesticks of human height at the four corners, low candlesticks with lampshades on the table, and even octagonal palace lamps with tassels hanging above. If all of them are lit up, they will shine brightly, and the whole room will be as bright as day.
In addition, it is a huge pipeline system, Zhenwuguan has long bid farewell to manual water, but directly leads water into the house through iron pipes, and if you want to use water, you only need to open the water valve, and you can naturally take a bath at any time, without having to boil water first as in the past.
Of course, ordinary people and even ordinary rich families do not have this condition.
Qi Xuansu listened to the faint sound of water, and his thoughts couldn't help but begin to drift, imagining the scene inside. It's just that his imagination is really lacking, and he can only imagine the watery and looming figures.
At some point, the sound of the water stopped.
Qi Xuansu subconsciously sat up straight.
By this time the night was deep, all the silence was silent, and all the subtle sounds became distinct and audible.
Qi Xuansu could only hear the sound of squirming, it should be Zhang Yuelu dressing.
In a few more moments, footsteps rang far and near, and the latch of the door was opened.
Zhang Yuelu appeared in front of Qi Xuansu again.
After Zhang Yuelu bathed, her hair was still lightly damp, and she was casually draped down, and she changed out of her formal clothes and put on an ordinary dress.
As the so-called men should be pretty with soap, women should be pretty with filial piety, half of the ten women in Daomen like to wear white clothes, but Zhang Yuelu doesn't like to wear white clothes, or she doesn't like to wear pure white dresses, always have to embellish some other colors, at this time her dress is mainly blue and white, without the usual sharpness, a little more graceful and gentle.
It was the first time Qi Xuansu had seen Zhang Yuelu like this.
Zhang Yuelu sat next to Qi Xuansu, occupying the other half of the bench, after bathing, she sobered up for a few minutes, but she didn't completely sober up, staring at the shoes sticking out of the skirt, stunned.
Qi Xuansu said that he wanted to talk all night, but at this time, he didn't know what to say.
After a while, Zhang Yuelu raised her head and said, "Let's talk about your experience after leaving Jiangling Mansion." ”
"Okay." Qi Xuansu agreed, smelled the fragrance on Zhang Yuelu's body, suddenly felt a little thirsty, reached out and took the small half bottle of "Drunk Life and Dream Death" on the table, and took a small sip.
Next, Qi Xuansu started by taking a boat, how he met Xu Kou, how he encountered the Japanese Kou, and what Shen Mingshu did.
Zhang Yuelu listened attentively, and occasionally took the wine jug from Qi Xuansu's hand and took a small sip - because the wine glass was left in the pavilion, the two simply drank directly from the wine jug.
Just one person speaks, one person listens, and drinks in a wine jug, which is very harmonious.
Until Qi Xuansu mentioned Li Qingnu.
"Li Qingnu, is that the big Oiran who is famous all over the world?" Zhang Yuelu asked unintentionally.
Qi Xuansu was drunk, and he didn't hear the hidden danger in this sentence, and said casually: "We saw it in Shangqing Mansion." ”
"I know." Zhang Yuelu seemed to sober up a little, and her thoughts became clear, "Are you familiar with her?" I didn't even know who you were at the time, how did she know who you were? ”
Qi Xuansu was taken aback, and he also sobered up a little, and he was a little anxious: "Actually, I was careless, I gave the mask to Liuhu at that time, and I didn't hide my true face, and I was accidentally recognized by her." Fortunately, she is not a person in the Daomen, and I don't know that Qi Xuansu was a 'dead person' at that time, so I will be wrong. ”
"Is that so?" Zhang Yuelu looked at Qi Xuansu, and the wine began to rise again.
"Of course." In order to corroborate his statement, Qi Xuansu took out the white fox face mask from the satchel he was carrying.
Zhang Yuelu took the mask of the white fox face, looked at it a few times, and was noncommittal. Qi Xuansu said: "I also reached a deal with her, I will help her deal with Lu Yunfeng, the son of the Lu family, and she will help me send Liuhu to Liaodong safely." ”
"Drunk life and dream death" is not as good as ordinary wine, even Zhang Yuelu, who is not drunk in a thousand cups, is also drunk, so Zhang Yuelu at this time is very different from usual, as if she has changed a person, she heard this, and said hesitantly: "Heroes save beauty." ”
Qi Xuansu suddenly sobered up eighty percent, and hurriedly cleared himself: "It's a fair deal." ”
Zhang Yuelu showed a meaningful smile and raised her eyebrows at Qi Xuansu: "Lu Yunfeng's idea of beating Li Qingnu, someone helped Li Qingnu get ahead." I don't have such luck, Li Tianzhen beat me up at the beginning, but no one helped me out, I can only rely on myself. ”
Qi Xuansu couldn't laugh or cry, Zhang Yuelu would never say such a thing, besides, he didn't know Zhang Yuelu at that time, and there was no way to talk about it, isn't this unreasonable.
It seems that she is really drunk.
Qi Xuansu thought so, but he couldn't say so.
He thought about it again, what kind of character Li Tianzhen is, the son of the Li family, among his peers in the family, he may only be inferior to Li Changge of different generations. At that time, Zhang Yuelu should have arrived in Yujing for the first time, and Li Tianzhen could freely enter and leave the True Realm Courtyard, but she could not enter the Dazhen Mansion casually, and she was not the official heir of Cihang Zhenren at that time, but one of the many disciples, and she did not get the blue eyes of the earth master.
In the face of Li Tianzhen, she had no other help except for that surname.
Although many people now use this incident to explain how Zhang Yuelu has a deep background, and even Li Tianzhen doesn't pay attention to it, it is actually the reverse effect, and it is not a good memory for Zhang Yuelu.
If it weren't for her thoughtfulness, she framed Li Tianzhen with words, made him agree to the gamble, and finally forced him to leave Yujing, then she probably wouldn't end up very well.
It's just that she has a strong nature, never refuses to show half of her weakness in front of others, and never puts the helplessness, grievances, panic and other emotions in her heart into her mouth, and always shows people with toughness, tenacity, and atmosphere, as if she is the one who is as iron as she is to death.
I'm afraid that only after she is really drunk, and in front of Qi Xuansu, who shares life and death, will she show a little bit.
Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu couldn't help but feel great pity, and gave birth to a sense of pride: "Isn't it just Li Tianzhen, don't worry about leaving it to me, one day, I will make it up for you." ”
Zhang Yuelu smiled and didn't say anything, just took a sip of wine.
"You don't believe me?" Qi Xuansu asked.
"I believe it." Zhang Yuelu said, "Of course I believe it." ”
Qi Xuansu snatched the wine jug from Zhang Yuelu's hand, poured it violently, and couldn't help but burp: "I do what I say." ”
Zhang Yuelu took the wine jug from Qi Xuansu's hand again: "Then, what happened after you helped Li Qingnu deal with Lu Yunfeng?" ”
"What else, naturally I'm rushing back to see you." Qi Xuansu didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, "After Pei Zhenren informed me, I didn't stay for a moment, and my heart was like an arrow." ”
Zhang Yuelu blinked: "Really? ”
"Of course it's true." Qi Xuansu cut the railway.
Zhang Yuelu's eyes became brighter and brighter, but she lowered her head and took a shallow sip of wine.
Eventually, both got drunk.
Snuggled up to each other on the benches and fell asleep.
