Chapter 224: Second Brother

King Qin was weak and couldn't drink alcohol, so he put hot tea in front of him.

He replaced wine with tea and toasted everyone who came to the banquet in the Qin Palace's mansion to show his gratitude.

It's not right to say it's hot tea, it's just a cup of steaming white water, and there are no tea leaves.

It is said that King Qin had to use medicine every day, and the tea was easy to dilute the medicinal properties and could not be drunk.

No matter where he is, King Qin is a glass of white water, and no one dares to object.

King Qin was not in good health, and often stayed alone in the house, either reading or sleeping. Just like he can't drink alcohol and can't drink tea, there are many things he can't eat, and many things he can't do.

Someone mentioned King Qin and sighed that such a life is actually not interesting at all.

But some people envy King Qin, he was born weak, but he is unspeakably expensive.

If nothing else, he should be made the crown prince, and the entire Great Shang Dynasty will be his.

Just like today's banquet in King Qin's mansion, no matter what kind of thoughts everyone has in their hearts, when they see King Qin, they want to bow one by one, saying flattering words, for fear of angering King Qin.

The emperor can ignore the king of Qin, the emperor can not appoint a crown prince, and the emperor can decide to give the country he has beaten to whomever he wants.

But in the same way, King Qin is the only son of the head of the family Shengshang and the queen, if anyone dares to offend the king of Qin, the saint and the queen can let him die.

This is royal power, which may not really be possessed, but it is inviolable.

King Qin didn't drink alcohol, but there were three kinds of fine wine on the table, Qionghua juice, Yutuanchun, and green plum wine.

The wine is all good wine, Qionghua juice and Yutuanchun are the royal wine in the palace, and the green plum wine is said to be brewed by the queen's mother, specially given to the king of Qin for a banquet.

Lu Yangge was in a good mood today, and while everyone was not paying attention, he asked the little eunuch to pour her a glass of green plum wine. Qionghua juice and Yutuanchun are not visible, but the green plum wine brewed by the queen's mother is even more rare.

The King of Qin on the opposite side looked at the wine glass in Lu Yangge's singer, his brows were slightly furrowed, but he didn't speak, but his eyes lightly glanced at the little eunuch who poured wine for Lu Yangge, which frightened the little eunuch and shivered, not understanding what he was doing wrong.

King Qin was a man of indifferent temperament and rarely spoke.

Fortunately, at his table, except for Lu Yangge, the rest are all children of the upstart family. Everyone talked and laughed, and it was much more lively than the tables next to it.

There are a few grandparents or fathers who are in high positions in the middle of the court, and looking at their table, it is inevitable that there will be ripples in their hearts.

I couldn't help but be glad that I didn't sit at that table, but I wanted to have a relationship with King Qin, but I looked at Lu Yangge, the only one out of place at that table, and I was a little unpleasant.

This kid didn't know where he came out, but he hugged the thighs of the Zhenguo Mansion and the Yongyi Marquis Mansion, and mixed up on King Qin's table.

If he enters the eyes of King Qin, and one day King Qin ascends the throne as emperor, wouldn't this kid also have a place in the Jinluan Palace?

Lu Yangge held up the Qionghua juice in his hand and secretly sipped it one bite at a time.

She is actually not good at drinking, but the rules of the Lu family are not strict. During the New Year's holiday, Lu Quan and Qiu's will also drink together, and several sisters in the family will pour a shallow cup and accompany each other.

Lu Yangge didn't know how much he drank, but he only remembered that when he was a child, when there was a visitor in Zhuangzi, his father Lu Yuanshan hugged her and sat on the table, dipping the wine with chopsticks to taste it.

At that time, she was not afraid of the spicy wine, and she tasted it once and had to do it a second time, and then her father was scolded by her mother before she gave up.

The father of the family is actually not good at drinking, but the mother Shen likes to drink two glasses.

The eldest brother is more like his father, since Lu Yangge can remember, the eldest brother Lu Hongnan almost doesn't drink a drop of alcohol, and he will get drunk when he gets drunk. But the second brother is like a mother, and he likes wine very much. Once, during the festival, my mother drank most of the glutinous rice wine. The second brother secretly hugged him to the yard to punch and drink, saying that only by drinking alcohol could he fight a drunken fist.

Most of the jar of wine, even drinking and spilling, was spoiled clean by the second brother.

Later, the eldest brother complained, and the father used wicker to whip the second brother twenty times, and the second brother did not relent, only saying that he was not drunk, why couldn't he drink.

The second brother was drunk or not, Lu Yangge didn't know, he only remembered that the second brother was boxing in the yard while picking up the wine jar and pouring wine into his mouth. There is also the second brother After drinking, the hero in the mouth of the storyteller threw the wine jar on the rock. Broken pieces of porcelain splattered, and a small piece landed on her right hand, cutting a bloody wound. She was so frightened that she cried, so that the eldest brother went to her father and mother to complain.

Later, the wound never healed, and the second brother felt guilty after waking up, squatting in front of her and swearing not to drink again.

She didn't tell the second brother that the reason why the wound didn't heal was because she wanted the pair of birds in the second brother's yard.

The bird was caught by the second brother, his uncle and the little tiger brother in the back mountain, and the second brother said that it was a male and a female, and he could give birth to a baby bird in the future.

She liked it very much, but the second brother was reluctant to give it to her, so he only promised to give her the baby bird when she gave birth to it.

She waited and waited, how many days and nights she waited, and they didn't give birth to babies, let alone babies, not even eggs.

In order to get the pair of birds, she touched the wound with her hand when she was fine.

The doctor told you not to get water on the wound, and don't touch it, otherwise it will be difficult to heal.

Sure enough, her wounds never healed, and the second brother gave her his favorite pair of birds in order to make amends.

She raised it for a few days, and then she didn't like it. Later, one night when it was raining heavily, she forgot to tell her aunt to take the birds back to the house, and when she went back to the cage the next day, the cage had fallen to the ground, and the pair of birds were gone.

The second brother didn't blame her, saying that they should have gone home. They don't give birth to baby birds, they don't lay eggs, maybe they are not a pair of birds, but a pair of brothers, or a pair of sisters. That's why they braved the rain to go home and look for their parents and siblings.

She asked, why can't it be a brother and sister?

The second brother touched her head and said, "That's a brother and sister, the two brothers and sisters were homesick on a rainy night, so the elder brother opened the cage and flew to the back mountain with his sister to find their father and sister and siblings."

She was reluctant again, and retorted, maybe her sister opened the cage and flew to the back mountain with her brother to find her father.

It's rare that the second brother didn't argue with her, and only said one sentence, whether it was the elder brother or the younger sister who opened the cage, they had already flown out and were free anyway.

Lu Yangge drank the Qionghua juice in the cup in one gulp, put down the wine cup, and raised his hand to touch the small scar on his right hand.

This is the common memory of her and her second brother, except for her and her second brother, no one knows why the second brother's favorite bird was under her window.

The father and mother thought that the second brother was sensible when he grew up, and the eldest brother thought that the second brother had hurt her guilt by drinking.

Only she and her second brother knew that in order to get the pair of birds, she left a scar on her hand that will never be erased.
