Chapter 61 There is wine today
Tragedy or comedy, this is a question. At this stage, the only answer is whether it is a drama... Haha... In fact, the author himself is a person who is very afraid of tragedy, so under the premise of reasonable logic, I will do my best and act in accordance with my ideals. With an attitude of doctrine and optimism, he arranges a way out for the male protagonist...
——————————————————————This is the dividing line for striving for a harmonious society——————————————
The few people chatted and laughed, as if they were back to the familiarity they had when they first met. Time flew by unknowingly, and it seemed that it was getting dark soon. Mei Changsu invited the guests to drink, and the three of them did not refuse. During this time, everyone chatted about all kinds of things and never mentioned anything about the court affairs. They had a very happy time.
The wine was a strong brew brought from the north, and it was very hot when you touched it. Yan Yujin shouted loudly, "This is the wine for men," and drank a large glass in one sip, choking and screaming. The two Xie brothers were much more polite in comparison. Even Xie Bi, who loved wine very much and drank a lot, only drank from small cups. Fei Liu appeared in the room at some point and looked at the table curiously. liquid on.
"Xiao Feiliu..." Yan Yujin was a little drunk, and he didn't care so much about Fei Liu's cold aura. He waved to him with a glass of wine, "Have you tried this before? It's delicious... "
"Don't mess around," Mei Changsu, who had been drinking soup because he was sick, stopped him with a smile, "We Feiliu are still young."
"I started drinking when I was fourteen. What are you afraid of? Fei Liu is a boy. If you don't know how to drink, you will never become a man." Yan Yujin waved his hands nonchalantly, "Come on, let's have a drink first."
Fei Liu glanced at Brother Su and saw that he just smiled and did not stop him. He stepped forward to take the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. His mouth was filled with fine needles and fireworks exploded on his head.
"It doesn't taste good!" Fei Liu felt deceived. He swung the wine glass and struck Yan Yujin with a palm. The uncle pushed the edge of the table and jumped up to dodge. The two of them jumped up and down in the room. They chased each other into a group. Xiao Jingrui was a little nervous at first, but later he felt relieved when he realized that Fei Liu was just chasing after him to vent his anger and didn't really mean to hurt anyone.
"Fei Liu has seldom played like this since I came to Jinling," Mei Changsu also looked at with a smile, "so every time you come, he is still very happy."
Xiao Jingrui obviously never felt that Feiliu was happy for them to come, but it was true that the house was a little deserted and deserted. He couldn't help but ask: "Brother Su, are you still the only ones here during the Chinese New Year?"
"That's probably it for New Year's Eve, but on the third and fourth day of the lunar month, I still want to invite some guests to get together. Will you come?"
"I can come at any time," Xiao Jingrui looked at Fei Liu and then at Mei Changsu, and said unbearably, "But it would be too lonely for you two to be alone on New Year's Eve. Come to our house to celebrate the New Year. Daddy Zhuo and his family will also come to Beijing, which will be very lively."
"Thank you," Mei Changsu smiled gently, "but who said there are only two of us? Didn't you see it when you came in? There are at least twenty people living in this garden."
"But they are all servants... not family members..."
"Are the people in your house my family members?" Mei Changsu felt slightly unhappy and couldn't help but uttered a sharp remark. However, he soon realized that he had overreacted and slowed down his tone, "New Year's Eve is the day for family reunions. Today, your family is all together, what does it matter if I go there? Besides, the owner of Ningguohou Mansion is your father, so it is always inappropriate for you to invite outsiders to your family banquet without permission."
Xiao Jingrui blurted out. He didn't think too much about it in the first place. When he said this, he realized that he was being reckless and lowered his head and said, "Brother Su has taught me a lesson."
"What stupid thing did you do again that made Brother Su bother to teach you a lesson?" Yan Yujin returned to his original position after exercising in a circle and happened to hear the last sentence.
"Jing Rui meant well, he was worried that Fei Liu and I would be too lonely during the Chinese New Year." Mei Changsu smiled lightly and wanted to casually change the subject.
"You're not inviting Brother Su to your house to celebrate the New Year, are you?" Yan Yujin hit the bull's-eye immediately and tapped Xiao Jingrui's forehead with his hand, "Do you have any brains?"
"Brother just didn't think it through for the moment." Xie Bi originally had a good relationship with Xiao Jingrui. Now that he discovered the truth about his father's deception, he relied on his eldest brother to help him and of course protect him even more.
Well, it’s not just about eating, drinking and having fun.”
Yan Yujin shook his head and said: "Brother Su doesn't like liveliness. Besides, Fei Liu is accompanying him. If you want to sympathize with me, you should sympathize with me. Every time after ancestor worship and kowtow, I am the only one in my house."
Like..."
Mei Changsu asked: "Where is this honor?"
"I went back to my room to meditate."
Mei Changsu couldn't help but be startled. Mrs. Yan and Yujin's mother had both passed away, and he had no brothers or sisters. If his father really went back to his room as soon as he left the ancestral hall, this lively child would be really lonely...
…
"Why are you asking for sympathy?" Xie Bi laughed and scolded, "I am a prodigal son. You would be happier without your father taking care of you. Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, leaning against the fragrance and nestling in the green, accompanied by more than a dozen girls
Are you still lonely?"
Mei Changsu picked up the teacup and sniffed the dense aroma, sighing secretly in her heart. After all, Xie Bi was still a child who grew up under the wings of the family. I am afraid that he has never been truly lonely since he was a child. So what about the hustle and bustle of Fengyue Place?
Can it replace the reunion and warmth of family?
Yan Yujin did not refute Xie Bi's words, his everlasting smile still hung on his lips, as if he didn't care about anything, "Brother Su, do you want to follow me to the brothels on Luoshi Street this year?"
Shopping? You see, Fei Liu is almost an adult..."
To his surprise, Mei Changsu raised his eyebrows and said: "Okay, I want to recuperate and I won't go. You can take Fei Liu there."
"Should I take him out alone?" Yan Yujin was shocked, "This is too dangerous. If he gets touched by the girls from the brothel, he will go crazy. Who can stop him?"
"No, our Fei Liu has a very good temper," Mei Changsu said with a slight smile, "Come over to my place after you pay homage to your ancestors. Let's have some drinks together, and then you take Fei Liu out to play. We won't be in Langzhou this year.
, I happen to be sick again, Fei Liu will definitely feel uncomfortable."
"Tingsheng!" Fei Liu said suddenly.
"Do you want to invite Tingsheng to play?" Mei Changsu ruffled the boy's hair.
"Um!"
"The name Tingsheng sounds familiar. How have I heard it before..." Yan Yujin scratched his head.
"It was one of the three children who defeated Baili Qi," Xiao Jingrui remembered more clearly. "After they were released from Gong Yeting, His Highness Prince Jing took them in as his own soldiers, right?"
"That's right, these three children are all in Prince Jing's Mansion," Mei Changsu nodded, "I guess they can come out after taking a leave of absence from the superior, right?"
"I think there should be no problem," Yan Yujin said very honestly, "They were all rescued by you. I will help you pick them up when the time comes. Let's see who dares to make things difficult for them and not let them go."
"Thank you very much." Mei Changsu turned to Fei Liu again, "Do you want to invite anyone else?"
Fei Liu thought seriously: "Uncle!"
"Uncle, you can't. Uncle has a family of his own and wants to celebrate the New Year at his own home."
"Which uncle?" Xie Bi asked.
"He was the first person Fei Liu came to the capital to fight against and was defeated by him."
"Commander Meng?!" The three young men were all startled. Yan Yujin looked at Fei Liu and shook his head and said: "From a small soldier of sin slaves to the commander of the forbidden army, I think you are the only one in the world who treats guests so strangely.
.”
"In Fei Liu's eyes, there is only whether you like it or not, and there is no difference in status." Mei Changsu said lightly, "Actually, isn't it simpler and better this way?"
"It's a pity that there are only a few people in the world who can do it..." Xiao Jingrui sighed softly, "Identity is like a person's second layer of skin. If it is torn, it will be completely different..."
Mei Changsu's eyebrows jumped. She didn't know what kind of thoughts were touched by his unintentional emotion. Her face turned a little pale, and her gaze towards Xiao Jingrui became deeper and more complicated.
"Okay!" Yan Yujin stretched out and jumped up, exhaling a long breath and said, "Good wine should satisfy you, but you can't fully enjoy it. If you enjoy it too much, it will be boring after you finish it. See you all drinking here and enjoying the spring.
The sad autumn is here. If you drink more, won’t you sing and cry? I think Brother Su is tired too. It’s time to say goodbye and go home, right?”
"That's right," Xiao Jingrui stood up, "Brother Su has an external illness. He needs to rest more. We have been bothering him for so long, so it's time to leave."
Because Mei Changsu was indeed a little sleepy, and because he had just been provoked by Xiao Jingrui for no reason, he felt inexplicably sad and melancholy. He felt that his mood was fluctuating, and he needed to be calmed down by someone alone, so he didn't stay much longer and just lowered his voice.
He politely asked them to come often in the future, and then got ready to see off the guests.
"It's windy outside, and it seems to be snowing again. Brother Su, don't come out." Xiao Jingrui hurriedly pushed him back into the chair, "Why are you being polite to the three of us? We are all friends. Brother Su is resting well. Let's see you again another day.
you."
Mei Changsu smiled without forcing it, and asked Fei Liu to send them out. He leaned back on the soft pillow, preparing to close his eyes and rest for a while. It was probably because he had been too exhausted this day, and he fell into a trance after just a while, half asleep but not asleep.
At one moment, my whole body was as hot as fire, and at other times, it was as biting and cold as if I was immersed in ice water. I struggled tossing and turning for an unknown period of time. Suddenly, I felt my heart suddenly twist and sink. I woke up with a slight bounce of my body. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a shocking sight.
There are three faces hanging above him.
"What are you doing here?" Mei Changsu looked around and found himself lying on the bed in the bedroom, having changed into pajamas and being wrapped in a soft quilt.
"You've been unconscious all night, don't you know?" Dr. Yan said angrily, spraying his white beard, "Look at the window, it's already dawn, do you want to scare us to death?"
"...Eh?...I don't think there's anything wrong, I'm in good spirits..." Mei Changsu tried to sit up from the pillow, but was hugged by Fei Liu, so he had to fall back again, patting the boy's back to comfort him.
He said, "Feiliu is not afraid. Brother Su is just taking a nap. Can you help me up?"
"Do you still remember?" Dr. Yan said fiercely, "If I let you get out of bed within three days, my surname will not be Yan!"
"Doctor Yan, I can't do it these days. I have a lot of things to do..."
"I can't control that much. You made a bet with someone when you came to the doctor this time. If you keep tossing like this, I will lose!"
Mei Changsu originally wanted to tell him that he had a special elixir made by Han doctor Xun Zhen. As long as he took it on time, nothing big would happen, but he was afraid that the doctors would look down on each other and the situation would get worse if he told him.
He had no choice but to say no more, and lay down flat under the old man's fierce gaze. He turned to Fei Liu and said, "Do you recognize Uncle Meng's home?"
"I recognize it!"
"How about you go and invite Uncle Meng to come to our home? You have to go quietly and don't let anyone see you."
"Okay!" Fei Liu saw him wake up, his expression and speech were the same as usual, and his simple heart immediately settled down, unlike Doctor Yan and Li Gang who were still worried. After accepting the assignment just now, he immediately flashed
Got out.
"Brother Li, please send a message to Mr. Thirteen and ask him to track down the official ships that have recently arrived at the port and see if there are any recent clues about the delivery of ammunition."
"Yes!" Li Gang was a subordinate of the Jiangzuo League and did not dare to take care of him like Doctor Yan, so although he was worried, he did not dare to say anything and immediately took the order and left.
"Have you had enough trouble?" Dr. Yan roughly grabbed his wrist and began to check his pulse. He looked at it for half a day, then changed his hand and checked again. Then he rolled his eyelids and asked him to stick out his tongue to take a look.
, there was not even a single sentence to comment on the condition, but there were a lot of other things to say, such as why young people don’t know how to take care of themselves, why the body is the most important, and why we need to be calm and not have random thoughts. Mei Chang talked endlessly.
Su looked at him quietly without replying even a single sentence. Judging from his expression, he seemed to be listening very seriously.
But let alone others, in fact, even Dr. Yan himself knew that this hard-working young patient's mind might have already turned to other things...
