captive skylark

Chapter 51
He poked his finger and scolded the maid who bought the wine, "I don't know how to persuade some girls, but I still eagerly bought the wine, and took it away quickly! If the girl's body is ruined by drinking, be careful with your skin."

The servant girl was stupefied for a while, and hurriedly got the wine and was about to go down, but was stopped by Yun Xi again.

"Who said I drank it?"

After waiting for a long while, Yunxi's depression became better.

She sat up slowly in her coat, pointed to the hot tea stove, and told Lu Qi, "Put that wine on it and heat it up, and take it outside. If someone comes later, say that I have fallen asleep, and just put away the things." Now, pour him another jug ​​of wine, and tell him what I ordered, it's freezing cold, let him drink to warm himself before leaving."

Luqi listened to the order and went out.

The wine was put on the stove and was about to be scalded when someone came over in the wind and snow.

It was Qi Chi from the bamboo garden. He handed the things in his hand to Luqi, with a smile on his face, "My son said that this tea is born in the clouds and mist on the mountain top, which is called Yunhua. Brew it and drink it, sweet and sweet." Delicious. He heard that the girl doesn't like to drink Lu'an Guapian, and thinks it is bitter, so he ordered me to bring it over."

Turning her head again, she saw wine boiling on the stove under the eaves, "My sister is so elegant, she still drinks hot wine in such a cold day."

"I didn't drink it." Luqi was very considerate, brought a big bowl, filled a bowl full, and brought it in front of Xichi, "Here, my girl told me that it's cold, please forgive me." If you run for a while, I must watch you drink this bowl of wine and warm your body before letting go."

"what?"

Xichi looked at Haida's wine bowl in his hand, then at Luqi, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

The master ordered that he should drink it after all, but on the way back to the bamboo garden, the smell of alcohol made him stagger, and he couldn't help but fall twice.

When he arrived in front of Xie Heng, he looked like he was fished out of the snow, his head and body were covered with snow, and his face was flushed red from the alcohol.

"My lord..." Qi Chi pursed his lips, showing a crying face, "Did you annoy the girl? Why did she take it out on me?"

"What happened to her?" Xie Heng put down the scroll in his hand, raised his eyes and asked him.

Qichi said grievances like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, "Girl asked sister Luqi to pour me a big bowl of wine, and my stomach was almost full. The wine was so strong that I was so dizzy that I walked across the bridge. I almost fell down the last time, but luckily someone helped me, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to come back to see the young master.”

"It's hard for you." Xie Heng smiled, and then ordered, "Go down and rest, there is no need to wait here."

"Yes, young master." Qi Chi turned around and retreated.

The door closed, and the gentleman sitting behind the desk gradually stopped smiling.

The candle was dim, and he slowly rubbed the scroll in his hand, his eyes remained calm.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh, "I'm really annoyed..."

The next day, news of Yunxi sending her maid out to buy wine to drink Qichi at night reached Mrs. Xie's ears.

Mrs. Xie was reciting Buddha's name, she listened, but she just laughed and cursed, "The two enemies got into a fight, and they used the servant as a raft."

"That's right!" Nanny Zhang who served her also laughed, "I just feel sorry for that child, Qichi. I heard that she was almost drunk and fell under the bridge last night. Fortunately, someone stopped her. Then Kang Shun The liquor in the distillery is also famously strong, and now he has suffered."

"I'm sorry to see you." Mrs. Xie believed in Buddhism and had a kind heart. She immediately ordered him to go down for a few days to rest and give him a few extra silver coins.

This matter was revealed.
