Chapter 1032: A Drunken Word
Lu Li felt that he had overdosed tonight.
Obviously, at first, he still remembered the doctor's instructions, Ruan Ling and Yin Shen have also been blocking the wine for him, and in the end, he actually felt that he was isolated and tasteless in this laughter, and the singing and dancing of the qin on similar occasions have always been not much fresh, and they are not appreciative just to help the fun, Lu Li's eyes are only occasionally wandering here, and it is the chairman of the Jin King and his wife who are sitting together, which makes him especially fascinated by today.
Yesterday, when Shi Niang went to the Suhui Pavilion to discuss affairs with him, she had not yet mentioned that the King of Jin had returned to the city from Guangyang, but the man who sat side by side with her to preside over the banquet today was obviously not Miao Dongsheng who had passed through overseas Chinese clothes.
Although others don't notice the difference, Lu Li can understand the person in the prince's dress, and look at the eyes of Eleven Niang after indulging in heavy drinking, hidden in the quiet enthusiasm, their sometimes one-touch wrist arms, as if negligent touch, only to let the seemingly casual man's eyes, there is a smile and ups and downs, such "carelessness" gradually occurs frequently, and occasionally it will attract the woman's secret disdain, and then it is a spring breeze full of joy and smile, different from similar scenes of restrained entertainment, Lu Li knew that Eleven Niang was indeed happy today.
Of course, she should rejoice, because she has come to this point with such difficulty and deliberateness, never thought of retreating in the face of life and death, and reaped the great victory in Youzhou, it is indeed worth temporarily letting go of those heavy burdens, on this day, at this feast, joyfully carry out a celebration.
Not only her, but also herself should feel happy, right?
Lu Li couldn't remember the first time he quietly withdrew his gaze, and finally raised the wine glass in front of him.
Even when Yin Shen finally gave him advice to start drinking, he smiled indifferently but insisted: "What you drink is not strong wine, even if you are greedy for a cup, it will not be damaged." ”
The feast gradually began from noon to evening, and the interest of everyone present seemed to have not diminished, Lu Li also left the table several times, toasting Wu Weihou and other heroes, as well as those children of the family who supported Guangyang to quell the epidemic, during this period, Ah Lu specially came to pour wine for him, but said that it was dissuasion, Lu Li knew that this was a kind reminder from Eleven Niang, but he didn't seem to want to restrain himself anymore today.
Sharing joys and sorrows is not only to share her worries when she is worried, but also to accompany her to enjoy joy.
Xue Luli should not be outside of Pei Wudan's joys, sorrows, and sorrows, just a calm spectator.
Lu Li saw that Eleven Niang seemed to be laughing with He Ye for a few words, and the two got up and toasted Wang Hengshi together, he was some distance away from them, and couldn't hear the conversation between them, but he knew that Eleven Niang must be thanking Wang Hengshi for his timely rescue, He Ye must have echoed the digression, only talking about his sensual things, such as safaris and bowing, Lu Li saw Wang Hengshi laughing, quite ambiguous and didn't know what to say to Eleven Niang, but Eleven Niang was no longer as good as before. Lu Li was a little jealous of Wang Hengshi, of course, this was not because he felt that Eleven Niang treated him as close as Wang Hengshi, but because Wang Hengshi was so cynical, he could even win Eleven Niang's friendliness.
Unlike him and her, they must be humble and courteous, and dare not be presumptuous in the slightest.
What is even more jealous is that Wang Hengshi is indeed capable of giving help in times of crisis, but what about him? Because of this sick body, he couldn't even fight side by side with her, so he could only stay in a safe place and be afraid.
It was probably because of this sudden jealousy that Lu Li paid special attention to Wang Hengshi in the next time, and that person was obviously a little excessive, so he got up from the table, squeezed Liu Yan away, hooked up with Qin Balang, and shouted to persuade him to drink, Lu Li looked at it and smiled, he thought that a life like Wang Hengshi could be called hearty.
It's such a distraction, and then look at the seat, but the eleven niang is gone, Lu Li was stunned for a short time, and many of the female dependents have left the table, he thought that it should be the eleventh niang who saw the night, many young girls are already too strong to drink, and eleven niang should ask them to change to a warmer place to sit and talk about tea.
He was a little disappointed, but also felt relieved, although the eleventh lady had a good amount of wine, but at this time it was already night, and the open banquet hall here was really not suitable for women to sit for a long time.
At this moment, Lu Li suddenly felt that his body, which had always been afraid of cold, was slightly irritable, wiped his sideburns, looked at the sweat stains on his fingers, and suddenly felt dizzy, he knew that he had overdosed.
He used to drink more than that, but his body was weak, and his alcohol consumption no longer existed.
At this time, Ah Lu turned back again, transferred the kindness of Eleven Niang, and instructed Lu Li not to sit with him at the banquet, and he could resign after having fun.
He smiled slightly, thinking that Eleven Niang also understood his indulgence today, and it was a matter of interest.
Lu Li knew that he couldn't drink more, this time he didn't insist, he only explained to Yin Shen, resigned first, obviously walked to the Retrospective Pavilion, but he didn't want to return to the silence here, the cold wind at night did not make him feel cold, but made his mind seem to be a lot clearer, it was rare not to feel tired, Lu Li felt that he should take a few more steps tonight.
Because of the approaching New Year, today is a feast, the house is brightly lit, Lu Li does not need to hold another lamp, alone along this road lights, into the plum garden, although this place is not far from the retrospective museum, but Lu Li does not often come to wander, occasionally take a walk to play, back is along the path of Luxin Lake, today also subconsciously want to go there, but see a lot of servants and maids on that road, the lights are also brighter, listen carefully, faintly there is a woman's talk and laughter, Lu Li knows that the women should be sitting here, he does not bother, Take a reverse walk towards the slope of the forest.
The lights gradually dimmed, but the moonlight was exceptionally bright, Lu Li looked down at the stone steps under his feet, and he didn't know how long he walked, and suddenly heard Ai Lu talking: "Xue Shaoyin also came here to admire the moon?" ”
Before the words fell, I saw that the warm pavilion built not far away pushed open a window, the light flowed out, and the eyebrows of the woman standing in the backlight were not very distinct, but her voice was familiar: "Sixth brother, come in quickly." ”
The big windows on the wall facing the moon are actually open, there is a small case under the window, a few dishes of refreshing and delicious dishes, a pot of wine is overflowing with fragrance, Eleven Niang was about to close a few windows, Lu Li hurriedly stopped: "I drank too much, I am radiating alcohol, and I am not afraid of the open wind." ”
There is only one case and one seat here, as well as a soft couch, and there is no place for Lu Li to sit next to the desk, so he stood in front of the window, smiled and looked down at a wine glass on the dining table: "Eleventh sister is hiding here to drink again?" ”
"Many female guests are excessive, only I have not been happy, I thought that the daughter-in-law and the sixth sister of Youling would entertain them, so I quietly hid here to admire the moon, I never thought that the sixth brother also felt that he was not happy, and walked here."
"But I can't drink anymore." Lu Li felt regretful, smiled and watched Eleven Niang pick up the door curtain, and asked Ai Lu to get tea sets, charcoal stoves and other things, he didn't want to drink tea, but he felt that Eleven Niang would open the sensitive Ai Lu, so he didn't stop it.
He turned around to look at the scenery outside the window, under the moonlight, among the faint lights, a slope of plum color was bright, and suddenly such a scene was very familiar.
"Doesn't this place look like Hanying Mountain?"
Reminded by the woman, the memory suddenly became clear, the old house of the Pei family back then, the plum garden is not as vast as here, the corridor is surrounded by water, but it is a slope of branches, Ling Han Danyan, I don't know which generation of the family named Hanying Mountain, the mountain is built on the hope of the Ying Pavilion, push the window and look, but wait for the moon to flow westward, is enjoying the plum Mu east wind.
Every winter, Wodan will always lobby his mother, take Eleven Lang and Ba Niang to live in the old house for a few days, Lu Li will occasionally be invited, I still remember that year, Wo Dan secretly hid an urn of sake, in the middle of the night, the envoy Eleven Lang woke him up, quietly went to Wangying Pavilion, the three of them drank an urn of sake, Eleven Lang got drunk first, he and Wodan could not "transport" Eleven Lang back to the residence without alarming the servants, so they had to leave Eleven Lang to sleep in Wangying Pavilion, which led to the revelation of the matter the next day, and the three children were punished, although Lu Li took the initiative to admit the mastermind, However, Pei's mother didn't believe it, and the case was locked up like a god, and the mastermind had to be corporal punishment, and Wu Dan's palm was hit by a few large bamboo boards, but she didn't care, and the matter of stealing wine and drinking at night was often repeated, but none of them were revealed.
"It's really like Hanying Mountain." The turbulent past made Lu Li sigh.
Eleven Niang naturally did not forget those youthful and absurd pasts, she simply did not sit down, put a glass of wine, and stood in front of the window.
"Today I miss Eleven Lang very much, thinking that if he can fight on the battlefield like San Lang and defeat the Anton Army, how ambitious he should be today, but he has a very shallow amount of alcohol, he must be drunk again, maybe he falls asleep, maybe he dances on the spot, maybe he will pull someone to recite nine songs with him, and once he even wants to compete with the eighth sister in a sword competition, in short, Eleven Lang, the drunken state is terrible."
Lu Li turned his head to look at the woman beside him, he didn't seem to see sadness, he curled the corners of his lips slightly, indulging in the past interests, his heart suddenly felt desolate, as if it was pierced by a cold wind, because she had to work hard to restrain pessimism, and always forced himself to smile and face anything.
Bursts of colic spread from the bottom of his heart, and the wine that had gradually dissipated seemed to be re-fermented in his body, and even the Danyan in his sight seemed to have quickly faded away, only the cold moonlight was filled with a cold mist, Lu Li had to hold on to the window, but it was difficult to stand firmly, he thought that his earlier sobriety might be just an illusion, and he realized that he would meet her alone tonight, so the idea could support him to walk so far alone and soberly, and when he saw her, he became the end of the crossbow.
Feeling the support of Eleven Niang in his arm, Lu Li squeezed out a smile vigorously: "Fifth sister, I really overdosed tonight." ”
Lu Li's last consciousness was to support the remnants of sobriety, staggering and stumbling on the soft couch, and the world was spinning.
Seeing that Lu Li was drunk and asleep, Eleven Niang shook her head helplessly, and had to instruct Binu who was waiting outside the door again: "This place is still sheltered from the wind, but there is no need to send Xue Liuge back to the Retrograde Museum, you go and inform Ah Fu, let her lead someone to serve, bring a bed of thick felt, and send a few more pots of warm charcoal." ”
After explaining these words, Eleven Niang returned to the side of the couch again, stretched out her hand to test Lu Li's forehead, and once again made sure that there was no fever, but when she withdrew her palm, she was suddenly grasped by the person who had fallen asleep drunk.
The unconscious man muttered a drunken word.
Eleven Niang was stunned for a long time, in the light of the room, her expression gradually changed from the initial surprise to dazedness, and gradually reddened her eyes, she looked at the emaciated man, closed her eyes quietly, her breathing gradually lengthened, her wrist was grasped by his fingers, and her strength gradually weakened, but she never let go.
After several hesitations, Eleven Niang finally broke free from the grip, she took off the brocade cloak, gently put it on the man, turned back to close the open window, and when she poured wine into the lamp, tears remained in her eyes, which quietly fell.
