Chapter 168: Sunflower
Mr. Liu and the patron of Lianrou County could no longer speak, so they hurriedly put on embroidered brocade shoes in the outhouse, hurried out of the Jingyuan, and walked towards the palace hall.
The strength of the Lianrou County Lord's physique was fully displayed along the way, and under the hurried steps, the breath was still long, not hurried, and the soaring white qi gushed out of her nose far away before it dissipated.
When the two of them came to the hall, the four of them and the county lord of Lianjing were already sitting in the hall, although they were sitting, their bodies kept twisting slightly, some of them couldn't sit still, their faces were faintly anxious, and they looked at the door of the hall from time to time.
The felt curtain hanging at the entrance of the hall has been rolled up, and you can see the bamboo forest and some deserted flowers in front of the court.
"Haven't you come yet?" As soon as the brocade embroidered shoes stepped into the hall, Lord Lianrou couldn't help but ask.
"Soon, Mr. Zixu has arrived home, and he will come over soon!" Lord Rui quieted down, stroked his beard, looked at Lianrou with soft eyes, smiled, and slowly closed his eyes, no longer looking at the entrance of the hall, his slightly purple face was calm, as if he was recuperating.
Lord Lianrou glared at Lian Jing, who was sitting at the end, and when she heard that she was in such a hurry, he thought that someone had arrived!
"Alas, this Mr. Zixu is good at everything, but the shelf is a little big!" A charming and graceful princess couldn't help but complain, although she was middle-aged, she still had charm, and her tone was soft, as if she was talking to herself, but she could be heard.
"Sister, don't say that!" The eldest princess beside Prince Rui hurriedly stopped, and when she saw her husband's purple face with her eyes closed, she was displeased, and her hand brushing her beard also paused, and she hurriedly said: "...... Mr. Zixu is a master in the world, and he naturally acts differently from ordinary people, how can he look at him from the eyes of the world!"
Although the eldest princess with delicate skin and beautiful appearance agrees with the words of the second princess, Mr. Zixu has the grace of reinvention to Rou'er after all, and now he is afraid of neglecting him.
She glanced at the second princess who bowed her head again, her straightforward surname could not be changed, it was exactly the same as when she was young, and it had not improved at all.
This is not the case once or twice, and the rest of the people are sitting on their laps and sipping tea as if they had not heard it.
Hurried footsteps sounded, and a young man in Tsing Yi rushed in like the wind under his feet, knelt on the ground, and whispered: "Lord Wang, Mr. Zixu has arrived!"
"Oh, please!" Lord Rui, who had been closing his eyes slightly, and was meditating and recuperating, suddenly opened his eyes, put down his big hand stroking his beard, and flicked his sleeves to go out.
"Huh...... , I don't dare to have Lord Lao come out to greet ...... The mountain people are late, so don't be surprised by the prince and the princesses!"
A clear voice sounded in their ears, and a figure suddenly flashed at the entrance of the hall, with a long beard, black and bright, eyes as deep as an ancient pool, with a fatal attraction, with a warm smile, revealing calm and calm, it was Xiao Yuesheng who they were waiting for.
"Haha...... , Mr. can take the time to come, Lone is already overjoyed, please please!" Lord Rui laughed, extremely heroic, waved his big hand, turned around and stretched forward, and invited Xiao Yuesheng to take a seat.
Xiao Yuesheng smiled and nodded slightly, greeted the three princesses, and helped the two county lords of Lian Rou and Lian Jing to support the two of them, and the internal force of the undercurrent held the two of them, his demeanor was light and chic, although everyone felt that his etiquette was simple, but it did not give people a sense of rudeness, and everyone in the hall could feel his attention.
Lord Lianrou has only seen Xiao Yuesheng once, and he doesn't have a deep experience, but Lord Lianjing and Mr. Liu can feel that Mr. Zixu in front of him seems to be a different person, as if in just a few days, he is more than ten years younger.
Between the eyebrows, not only is there no indifference and vicissitudes of life as before, but warm as a spring breeze, between looking forward to it, the spirit is flying, and it is quiet, a snow-white mink fur coat seems to sit just for him, lining it gracefully and chic, as if the sun in the sky in winter, although it is not dazzling, but people can't turn their eyes away.
The people quickly served the tea lightly, and then everyone exchanged a few more words, and soon entered the table to eat, after all, it was not early.
According to the social customs of the time, when the family feasted guests, the women had to hide in the backyard and could not show their heads, even if His Majesty the Emperor arrived, they had no right to let the hostess come out to accompany them.
There is only one circumstance in which a woman can accompany the banquet, and that is a family banquet, where the guest is regarded as a member of the family, and there is no need to be taboo about the difference between men and women.
The three princesses, the two county lords and Mr. Xixi are all accompanied, and this is the first time for the palace.
Xiao Yuesheng did not show flattery, not that he did not understand the world, in his opinion, all these things were false and unreal, and they were not put in his heart.
Xiao Yuesheng sat in the seat of the guest of honor, Mr. Liu sat in Xiao Yuesheng's head, and the two county lords of Lian Rou and Lianjing sat in the last seat.
Accustomed to Xiaofeng's craftsmanship, going to a banquet elsewhere, for Xiao Yuesheng, it is really not a beauty difference, although it is not too much in terms of color and fragrance, but it tastes like a world of difference, and it can't be eaten without a bite, it seems too rude, so I can only barely eat a few bites, which means it.
Xiao Yuesheng's five senses are keen, far more and more ordinary people, can feel the quiet and cold breath of Mr. Liu beside him, quiet and cool, like the hibiscus in the spring in the scorching summer, which has a very calming effect, he doesn't want to know that this Mr. Liu's heart is special, and it is very similar to that of Xiaolongnu.
He knew at a glance that his internal strength followed the line, although Mr. Liu's mental method was slightly inferior to it, but it was also rare to be clever, in the martial arts, it was really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, if Mr. Liu went to the martial arts, he would be a master.
And the delicate and soft, the most beautiful third princess, seems to be weak and pitiful, but she also has a deep internal strength, and her internal strength is the same as Mr. Liu's, it seems that the two are from the same school.
"I don't know what Mr. usually does?" Seeing that Xiao Yuesheng put down the silver chopstick, Lord Rui also stopped, stroked his beard, and asked with a smile.
The women also stopped the silver chopsticks one after another, wiped the corners of their mouths with silk handkerchiefs, and their eyes were aimed at him intentionally or unintentionally, obviously very curious in their hearts.
"Hmm...... , travel the mountains and rivers, bask in the sun, read books, hehe...... , just chat to pass the time!" Xiao Yuesheng thought about it, and as he spoke, there was a thoughtful look on his face.
At this moment, sitting in the brightly lit hall, the gold and silver vessels are dazzling, the delicacies, and the beautiful and delicious beauties are sitting around, and the fragrance is faint, he suddenly feels that he is too useless to live.
Leisurely is free, but not exciting enough, a long time, there is a sense of boredom, their years do not know how long, just like that does not know how far away forever, is it just let it live naturally?
"Huh...... , Sure enough, he is a master in the world, he can be so carefree, and he is envious of Mr. ——!"
Originally, as a royal nobleman, a dragon son and a dragon grandson, he could also live so freely, but the heavenly prince did not be beautiful, and let his daughter suffer from a terminal illness, he always had a big stone in his heart pressing on it, he couldn't breathe, and he lived very hard, how could he be free!
Rui Wangye's thoughts were reflected in Xiao Yuesheng's mind without omission, he couldn't help but smile in his heart, sighing that he finally couldn't avoid the weakness of ordinary people, liking the new and hating the old, standing on this peak, he felt that the peak was high, there was no contentment, he envied the wonderfulness of the world, but the world admired his own leisure.
"Now that the county lord is healthy, the prince will never have to worry about it, which is really gratifying!" Xiao Yuesheng came out of his mind and smiled slightly.
"That's right, this is all given by Mr., the lonely king is grateful!" Lord Rui's face was solemn, he suddenly stood up, bowed down and was about to salute Xiao Yuesheng, but he felt a soft and soft cushion under his arm, pressing down hard, but to no avail, he couldn't bow down at all.
Lord Rui's behavior made all the women present a little unprepared, and they didn't know whether to salute Mr. Zixu who was sitting with him.
"The prince doesn't have to be like this, the encounter is fate, and the county lord's life should not be broken, just follow the trend, it's nothing!"
Xiao Yuesheng stood up, clenched his fists and bowed his hands, which was regarded as a return salute, and said with a smile: "No matter how much the prince is polite, he is going to leave in a hurry!"
"Okay, this king won't say more!"
Lord Rui is also an unusual person, with extraordinary courage, he nodded when he heard the words, slowly sat back at the table, picked up the silver chopstick, and ordered the steaming and fragrant huge bear paw that had just been brought up by Yahuan, and smiled at Xiao Yuesheng: "Come on, sir, don't be polite!"
Xiao Yuesheng was a little interested in this dish, Yasheng's famous sentence "Fish and bear's paws cannot be both", so that the deliciousness of the bear's paw has been passed down, and it has also caused the bear to suffer, Xiaofeng is deeply disgusted by this.
The bear's surname is not as brutal as people think, but it is a gentle animal, very intelligent, and even if people encounter it, it will rarely attack people, and of course, if it has ever tasted a man, it is a different matter.
In the trees around Mission Hills Villa, there are a few bears, when the women have nothing to do, they go to look for them, to see their cute appearance, especially they like to dig honey to eat, every time they finish digging, they have to be chased by the rolling swarm of bees to cover their faces, lying on the ground to hide, their appearance is the most funny.
Although Xiao Yuesheng is loving and will not kill the bear with his own hands, he does not refuse the bear paw that has been made, so he pushes the boat down the river at the invitation of Lord Rui.
The two men didn't care about the women, the silver cup kept being raised and put down by their mouths, and the silver spoon kept expanding and contracting with the opening of their mouths.
Xiao Yuesheng's appetite was opened by this plate of bear's paws, and the wine on the palace was the palace imperial wine Changchun French wine, which was full of strength, although the taste was not as good as his own green and purple wine, but it also had a spicy taste.
Rui Wangye drank a lot of wine, and he wanted to get drunk with Mr. Zixu, but a jar of Changchun wine went down, Xiao Yuesheng's face was as usual, Rui Wangye was slightly purple but his complexion became darker, and his eyes were a little erratic.
Pouring wine is so cruel, quite fierce if you don't succeed, he didn't pour Xiao Yuesheng, but he can't do it anymore.
"If Mr. Zixu has time, can he ...... Can you come to our mansion and teach the little girl?" Lord Rui, who was about to drink it all, suddenly paused, and popped out such a sentence quite abruptly, Ling had already drunk it all, put down the silver cup, and Xiao Yuesheng, who had not swallowed the wine, almost couldn't help but squirt out.
Xiao Yuesheng hurriedly picked up the silver cup in his hand again, the silver cup had been filled by the maid ring behind him, he hurriedly took another sip, and put the wine in his mouth into his stomach, only then did he breathe a long sigh of relief, put down the silver cup, and smiled bitterly: "Isn't the prince joking?"
"This king never laughs!" Lord Rui, who was already slightly drunk, stared at him, his majesty increased sharply, and his bearing was terrifying, but unfortunately he met Xiao Yuesheng, and it had no effect.
He blinked Danfeng's eyes vigorously, and aimed his wandering eyes at Xiao Yuesheng, but his words were quite clear: "...... Even Mr. Liu admires Mr. Liu,...... Lone also knows that Mr. is a master in the world and is not limited to things, but Lone only asks Mr. to come to the house to sit down and click a few little girls when he has a little spare time!"
Lord Rui knows that the opportunity cannot be lost, and the reason for not coming again is lost, so he takes advantage of the hot wine and does not say when to say it at this time!
Xiao Yuesheng knew at a glance that this Rui Wang Ye was pretending to be drunk, he was really cunning, taking advantage of the wine, he said a non-dividing request, even if he was refused, he had a wine covering his face, and he didn't know what to do in the second day!
"Huh...... Not...... No problem!" Xiao Yuesheng's eyes also became hazy, and he smiled with a somewhat knotted tongue, revealing a bit of naivety, which made the two county lords of Lian Rou and Lianjing, who had been secretly paying attention to him, couldn't help but want to laugh, the contrast was too great, and he was drunk.
Mr. Liu, who was sitting next to him, secretly helped him, and a cool breath entered his body in his palm, wanting to help him get rid of the alcohol.
Xiao Yuesheng pushed away her warm jade palm, smiled again, and waved his hand: "No, no,...... How can you use internal strength when you drink alcohol?...... That's not ...... It's not a waste of good wine...... Well!"
At the beginning, he secretly praised his acting skills, but after saying a few words, he got into the play a little, and he didn't know whether he was really drunk or fake, he hadn't had this fluttering feeling for a long time, so he let this feeling occupy his body.
Xiao Yuesheng, a master of the world, whether he does it or not, is always in a thought, playing Lai, and does not hesitate, pretending to be drunk, and he will push today's words to the fullest, and he wants to give Rui Wang Ye a way to give him another way, and give him back.
When Lord Rui heard this, he was overjoyed, he was pretending to be drunk, so he had the idea of sacrificing his life to accompany the gentleman, and hurriedly shouted the wine, and another jar of Changchun French wine treasured in the house was served.
Changchun French wine is the inner imperial wine, that is, the inner court, this wine is also limited in quantity, in fact, because its recipe requires dozens of precious medicinal materials, the wine power is extraordinary, and there is a great supplement to the body, the end is rare.
Lord Rui was given two altars, and he took them out today.
The silver cups of the two were replaced by large bowls, and they drank bowl by bowl, drinking dimly, which made the women on the side a little dumbfounded.
The three princesses have never seen the prince drink like this, and the two county lords of Lianrou and Lianjing are overjoyed in their hearts, and it is really fortunate to have Mr. Zixu's guidance!
The two county lords were also secretly a little disappointed, since he entered the door, he looked at his gaze, there were really only a handful, as if there was no existence of himself in his eyes, as golden branches and jade leaves, how could they have been so cold?
Drinking and singing, life is geometric, after drinking, singing loudly is really the coolest thing, Xiao Yuesheng has such a hobby, half a jar of wine, both of them are really drunk, Xiao Yuesheng's singing sounded.
Canghai laughed...... , surging tide on both sides of the strait...... , ups and downs with the waves...... Remember only the present day...... , the sky smiled...... and the world is disturbed......"
The clear singing voice was stimulated by the Shenyuan that he inadvertently transported, and suddenly resounded throughout the entire Lin'an Xingzai, that is, Li Zong, who was sleeping with Jia Guifei in his arms in the Shihua Pavilion, also suddenly woke up, and sat up suddenly, the singing voice was clear and agitated, revealing a heroic and contemptuous atmosphere, as if the person who sang was beside him.
"Your Majesty, who is so mad?...... Shouting and screaming, disturbing people's dreams!" A lotus root arm stretched out from the brocade quilt and hugged Li Zong's waist, a little lazy impatient, and his voice was soft and soft, which made people's hearts ripple.
In the entire Lin'an City, most of the people who were sleeping were as dissatisfied as Concubine Jia, and in the middle of the night, they were shouting, what a gentleman!
However, there are still a lot of such crazy births in Lin'an City, and it is not worth making a fuss, and the people who were awakened made a few words of jail, and then lay down and continued to sleep.
"Haha...... Where's the piano...... ......"There was another burst of laughter, and then the sound fell silent.
Mr. Liu saw that Mr. Zixu, who had always been unpredictable and profound, was so out of shape, holding a big bowl in one hand and a wine jar in the other, singing loudly and unscrupulously. It's not like a worldly master.
Xiao Yuesheng sang a few words, and suddenly realized that there was no piano accompaniment, which was a little less enjoyable, so his eyes widened, glared at Mr. Liu beside him, and asked loudly, "What about the piano...... Where's the piano?"
Mr. Liu's cold face as jade was under his unscrupulous gaze, two red clouds quietly surged up, she glanced at Lord Rui who was already lying on the table, she didn't care about anything else, her hand was like electricity, and her slender jade fingers had already hit the sleeping hole on Xiao Yuesheng's body.
As soon as she pointed down, her heart suddenly relaxed, and she prepared carefully, ready to hold him and prevent him from fainting on the ground.
It's a pity that Xiao Yuesheng didn't realize it, pointed to Prince Rui who was lying on the purple wood table, laughed, and his speech became clearer: "Lord Wang, you are drunk! haha...... , the amount of alcohol is too bad...... Come, come...... Let's keep drinking!"
Mr. Liu looked at Mr. Zixu, who was laughing in surprise, and pointed out another finger like electricity, and the internal force contained in the jade finger increased by two points, and the power of his orchid finger in Lanxin Valley was extremely high, when did he not be able to point the acupoint?
"I'm not drunk...... Then...... Then drink!" Lord Rui, who was lying on the table to recuperate, couldn't hear that he was drunk, so he immediately straightened up, stretched out his hand with a swing, and went to get the big bowl of wine.
The orchid finger was firmly in Xiao Yuesheng's sleeping hole, but Mr. Liu felt that his fingers seemed to be in a ball of cotton wool, weak and weak, and the internal force contained in the fingers almost wanted to break out of the fingers.
Xiao Yuesheng suddenly turned her head and glanced at her with a smile, the calmness in her eyes surprised her even more, she was a little skeptical, whether this Mr. Zixu was really drunk, or did he really have such magical powers, even if he was drunk, he could still keep his mind clear?
Mr. Liu's two fingers are not useless, although Xiao Yuesheng's body is no longer a ** mortal fetus, and he is not afraid of acupoints, but the internal force contained in these two fingers makes Xiao Yuesheng's body wander in the subconscious vigilance of the Shenyuan, and the wine power in the body is suddenly wiped out, and the drunkenness is completely expelled, Xiao Yuesheng has some regrets in his heart.
But it's okay, if you don't wake up and sing two more sentences, there will be a lot of jokes, but this Mr. Liu is a cold-faced and warm-hearted person!
So he threw a smile at her.
The banquet ended with two men both drunk.
Rui Wangye had excellent wine, and when he was drunk, he didn't play drunk, but just let the servants help him back to the bed.
Xiao Yuesheng was not at ease, he had to shout back to his mansion, he didn't want to stay here, the three princesses had no choice, so they had to ask a few guards to help him into the carriage and send him back to the palace.
Back in his bedroom, Xiao Yuesheng returned to normal, thinking about tonight's banquet, it was not so boring, and it was also fun to have fun with the old fox of Lord Rui.
"Lao Tong, has the sunflower book you wrote been written?" Xiao Yuesheng sat lazily in the rattan chair in front of the couch, took the tea handed over by Lao Tong, lifted the lid lightly, smelled the fragrance of the hot air, and asked casually.
"Childe, it's already written, but it's ......" The old boy with low eyebrows bowed down and replied, his voice was still so elegant and pleasant, but his ruddy face showed a little hesitation.
"But what?" Xiao Yuesheng took a sip of tea, feeling that it was still good for his own things, and the tea on King Rui's Mansion was really far behind, so he asked casually.
"But the old slave's martial arts are low, I'm afraid he won't be able to get into the eyes of others!" replied the old boy respectfully.
"Huh...... , you old fellow!, practice to the realm of yin and yang, and still can't say it, don't be good here!" Xiao Yuesheng couldn't help laughing and scolding, put down the teacup, his expression gradually faded, and asked gently: "...... There are nine layers of your mind, how many layers have you recorded in the Sunflower Book?"
"The old slave recorded three layers of ,...... I wonder if I want to add a few more layers?"
Lao Tong asked cautiously, his mind is indeed too vicious, the deeper he practices, the greater the harm, if he does not have the help of the horse master, I am afraid that he will have been devoured by his own internal strength now, and his whole body will freeze to death.
"Three-tiered ...... , well, enough to become a first-class master!" Xiao Yuesheng nodded, groaned slightly, waved his hand slightly, and the old boy quietly retreated.
