Chapter 246: The Drunk Fan Lou

"Da Lang knows Zhu Shuo?" Yan Shu was surprised, "Brother Zhu has only arrived in the capital not long ago, and you actually know each other?"

"A few days ago, my brother came to Beijing in Brother Du's carriage. I didn't expect to meet here today." Zhu said with a smile, "Brother Yan and Brother Du are old acquaintances?"

"It's not just an old acquaintance. I spanked his ass when he was young."

This sentence made everyone except Du Qingshan laugh out loud.

Du Qingshan: "Brother Yan, don't mention the old things from childhood."

Yan Shu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't mention it."

Everyone introduced each other, Yan Shu looked around, and said, "It's rare to meet today, I have reserved a pavilion upstairs, why don't Zhaoyan come upstairs with us and have a drink and talk?"

Du Qingshan knew that the drinking and chatting among the literati would require reciting poems to reciprocate, and he has always disliked things like scribbling words, so he expected that Yan Shu and the others came to Fanlou specially today, so there must be a beautiful woman by his side. Because:
"It's getting late today, Xiaochen is still waiting at home, I'd better go back earlier."

Zhu said and smiled when he heard the words.

Yan Shu was puzzled: "Oh? Who is Xiaochen? Zhaoyan, when did you get married? I don't know?"

Mentioning Xiaochen, Du Qingshan had a gentle expression on his face: "I haven't married her yet, but the teacher's wife has set a good date for us, and Big Brother Yan will receive the invitation at that time."

"That's it!" Yan Shu laughed loudly, "Since that's the case, Zhao Yan should go upstairs with me to have a drink and have a good time. After marrying a wife, he won't be as free as he was when he was single!"

Everyone behind him burst into laughter.

It was Zhu who said, "Brother Yan, Du Xiaolang is eager to return, let's let him go."

When Gu Yi heard Du Qingshan say that he and Xiaochen had already set an auspicious date, bitterness surged in his heart.

After Yan Shu and his party went upstairs, he said to Du Qingshan, "Brother Du, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do. You should go back first, and I'll come later."

Du Qingshan didn't suspect him, so he summoned the bartender to pay for the drinks, left the brightly lit Fanlou, and went straight back to Liren Lane.

Gu Yi sat back and drank alone.

Can't help laughing, just now Brother Du used wine to relieve his worries, so soon, it's him who is melancholy here.

After drinking for an unknown amount of time, seeing that there were fewer and fewer guests in the scattered seats, Gu Yi also got up and wanted to leave, but bumped into a woman who was a storyteller just now.

Gu Yi apologized again and again.

The woman waved her hand and said, "It's all right, but Mr. Lang should drink less wine and go back earlier."

"I'll go back here."

Gu Yi thought that the other party was worried that he was drunk and making trouble in Fan Lou, so he couldn't help but feel amused, and he said word by word:

"Alcohol doesn't intoxicate people, people intoxicate themselves."

The woman in crimson clothes saw that he was staggering and was about to fall to the ground, she frowned and stepped forward to support him, called a bartender, and ordered him to take Gu Yi home.

The bartender said: "Sister Ye, you are so kind. But there is still a spare room upstairs, so I will send him upstairs."

The woman hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay then, send him to the north building next to him. There are noble people upstairs in the west building, so don't disturb them."

"Understood, Sister Ye, don't worry." The bartender helped the half-drunk and half-awake Gu Yi to the north building.

There were lanterns everywhere in Fanlou, the white snow reflected the night, and the cold wind blew Gu Yi sober.

It is now midnight, Gu Yi is dizzy, stepping on the soft snow with one left foot and the other right, feeling that everything around him is both strange and familiar, Gu Yi asked:

"Where are you going to help me?"

"Young master, are you awake?"

"This is where?"

"Ghost Fan Tower."

"Ghost Fanlou?"
