Chapter 193 Drunkenness
Xie Zhaozhao smiled and invited her to the warm pavilion where guests would receive guests in winter to chat with her.

Chen Shulan didn't look very energetic, and because she and Xie Zhaozhao were not familiar with each other, they were a bit reserved in getting along with each other.

After a while, we couldn’t continue chatting anymore.

Xie Zhaozhao prepared the cakes while thinking about the purpose of Chen Shulan's visit.

If it was just chatting, Xie Zhaozhao thought it was unlikely.

After all, there are so many noble ladies in the capital, and there are countless of them who are worthy of friendship, but there are some.

Isn't it just a coincidence that Chen Shulan found Xie Zhaozhao while chatting and making friends?
But from the lines in Chen Shulan's words, as well as his expression and attitude, she really couldn't figure out Chen Shulan's intention.

"Miss Xie must be wondering if I have any bad intentions." Chen Shulan suddenly made a light sound and looked towards Xie Zhaozhao with her beautiful eyes.

Xie Zhaozhao paused slightly and said with a faint smile: "The right way is not to go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I am really curious about Miss Chen's purpose."

"Be curious."

Chen Shulan lowered her eyes: "Given our current situation, if you say that you are not curious, that you are a guest, and that you want to make friends with me, I would actually think that Miss Xie is a bit hypocritical."

At this time, Xianggui came with her maid to deliver tea and fruits.

Xie Zhaozhao did not respond to her.

After the maids got ready and exited, Chen Shulan added: "Actually, I don't know what I am doing here. I am just bored by being alone in the annex. I feel very bored, so I want to go out for a walk."

"After thinking about it, it seems that I have only spoken a few words to you in this capital, and I heard that you are injured and will be recuperated, so I wanted to come and take a look."

Xie Zhaozhao thought to himself: These words are sincere enough, and people are more willing to believe them than just looking for any random reasons.

"I had your calligraphy framed last time."

Chen Shulan smiled: "If Miss Xie's injury has recovered, can I have the audacity to ask for another picture?"

"of course can."

Xie Zhaozhao said: "What content do you want?"

"The content..."

Chen Shulan's eyes fell on the cakes on the table, but in fact, her eyes were unfocused and she was looking through the cakes.

She murmured: "Once upon a time, it was difficult for the sea to change, except for Wushan, it was not a cloud. I looked back lazily on the flowers, half of them were cultivators and half of them were kings. I want this."

Xie Zhaozhao said "Okay", but deep down he was wondering, did she feel like this when she wanted to write such sad content?

Xie Zhaozhao thought of the Chen family guard named Qing Ci.

Xianggui and Xiangrong heard the master inside talking about writing, so they went down to prepare the four treasures of the study.

Xie Zhaozhao and Chen Shulan sat in silence looking at each other.

When the pen and ink were ready, Xie Zhaozhao stood up and took up the pen, carefully wrote down what Chen Shulan wanted one by one, and asked Chen Shulan to read it.

"I haven't bothered to practice calligraphy recently, and I don't know if this calligraphy can still catch Miss Chen's eyes." Xie Zhaozhao said.

"very nice."

Chen Shulan picked up the calligraphy and said, "Miss Xie's calligraphy is the same as Miss Xie's person. It looks quiet but is actually chic. It would be great if I could be as chic as Miss Xie."

Xie Zhaozhao didn't know her situation, but thinking about how miserable she was in her previous life, he felt a little pity in his heart, and he also expected that she must be in love——

Xie Zhaozhao pondered for a moment and said: "I may not be as dashing as Miss Chen thinks. In this holy capital, no matter whether they are rich and beautiful, or poor people, everyone has their own difficulties and pains."

"Everyone will have many disappointments in his life. None of us are saints. In fact, it is difficult to truly take things and let them go."

"But no matter what, you have to take care of yourself."

Chen Shulan looked at the words and was stunned.

After a long time, she put the words back on the table, smiled warmly at Xie Zhaozhao and said, "Miss Xie's words are right. No matter what, you must cherish yourself." "If you don't cherish yourself, If you kill yourself, how can others care about you?"

"That's the truth." Xie Zhaozhao nodded, "Ms. Chen has been here for a while. Let's use some pastries. If you starve the guests, it will be a big sin on my part."

She spoke seriously, but her big eyes blinked, with a hint of playfulness in between being dignified.

Chen Shulan chuckled and said, "Okay."

The two of them ate some pastries, talked about practicing calligraphy, and then talked about other things.

This time there seemed to be more topics.

From the scenery of the capital city and the heavy snow in winter, it talks about the wilderness, wind and sand, and neighboring countries in northern Hebei, and then talks about the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River and the koi carp in Pennsylvania.

The two hit it off and chatted happily. After having dinner together, Chen Shulan was reluctant to leave.

It was the maid Qing Moss who reminded her several times before Chen Shulan reluctantly got up.

"I have made Miss Xie my friend today, right?" Chen Shulan asked with a smile, "If I want to come and bother Miss Xie in a few days, I wonder if she will still welcome me."

"of course."

Xie Zhaozhao said: "You can come at any time and I'll welcome you at any time, as long as I'm at home."

"Okay, I take it seriously." Chen Shulan blinked at Xie Zhaozhao.

Xie Zhaozhao still sent Chen Shulan to the corner gate. When he was about to get on the carriage, there was a sound of horse hooves not far away.

Xie Zhaozhao looked back.

The man riding the horse turned out to be Xie Changyuan.

As the horse approached, Xie Changyuan slipped off the horse and held on to the pillar beside the door with messy steps.

Xie Zhaozhao looked at his face and frowned slightly.

This is too much to drink.

Chen Shulan also frowned slightly and took two steps back.

"Fifth brother." Xie Zhaozhao called, signaling Lei Xing to step forward and help him.

"Huh?" Xie Changyuan took a long breath and hurried back home. Now, it seemed that the alcohol was getting to his head, and the people in front of him became a large group of five or ten.

He narrowed his drunken eyes and saw a girl wearing a white fox cloak calling him, "Zhao Zhao, why are you standing at the door?"

Xie Changyuan waved away Lei Xing's extended hand and took two steps toward the girl. However, he tripped on the steps, stumbled, and threw himself at the girl.

Just hearing a delicate scream, Chen Shulan was thrown into the flesh by Xie Changyuan.

There was a very heavy "bang" when it landed, and I don't know where it hit.

This performance really shocked everyone.

Xie Zhaozhao was also shocked and rushed to help Xie Changyuan.

As soon as he ran forward, there was a "pop" sound and Chen Shulan slapped Xie Changyuan in the face.

Xie Changyuan was slapped and seemed to wake up for a moment, "Eh? You are not Zhaozhao!"

Lei Xing and Xie Changyuan, two assistants, pulled him up with all their hands. Xie Zhaozhao also went to help Chen Shulan: "I'm sorry, Miss Chen, my fifth brother drank too much. It was not intentional. Did you fall?"

"No."

Chen Shulan's face was red and white, mixed with shame and anger. She leaned on the maid and pushed away Xie Zhaozhao's support, got on the carriage, and left without looking back.

Xie Zhaozhao looked at the carriage that was driving away, then looked back at Xie Changyuan, who was drunk and unconscious, and took a deep breath: "Get him in quickly."
