Xu Chunjun invited Wan Yiniang to a banquet and arranged four dishes, one soup and a pot of Huiquan wine on the stone table under the rose stand.
Wan Yiniang came as promised, wearing a sheer dress with cool and charming evening makeup.
"Why did Miss Xu think of inviting me to dinner?" Wan Yiniang's newly painted kodan on her nails was as red as blood, making her hands as white as jade.
"It's too hot during the day, and it only gets a little cooler after the sun sets. The moonlight is so good tonight, so I wanted to invite my aunt to come and enjoy it together." Xu Chunjun was dressed in a mist-colored gauze dress, and her glossy black hair was tied with a peony.
The hair is in a bun, with hair on the temples. The bangs are a little thick, covering the forehead, but they cannot cover the rich and lively eyes.
After Aunt Wan sat down, Xu Chunjun said to the maids on the side: "You have been tired for a day, so go and have a rest! It is enough for me to serve Aunt Wan here."
Wan Yiniang smiled and said nothing. When the maids had all left, she said to Xu Chunjun: "Miss Xu, isn't the Hongmen Banquet you hosted today?"
"Auntie is joking. I just want to arrange a Hongmen Banquet, but I don't have anyone like Fan Kuai who dares to eat raw meat." Xu Chunjun smiled without any pretense. She was actually a little too mature on weekdays.
This sentence made Wan Yiniang laugh. She was naturally not afraid of Xu Chunjun, so she came to the appointment openly.
Xu Chunjun poured a glass of wine for Wan Yiniang and himself. The aroma of the wine was mixed with the fragrance of flowers. Before the wine even hit the lips, people were about to get drunk.
At this time, the moon had just risen. It was round and full, shining brightly, illuminating the courtyard like daylight.
"It seems like I haven't had a good look at the moon for many years," Wan Yiniang said with a sigh, "I have to thank you for this moon."
"It's me who should thank you. Thank you Auntie for the favor." Xu Chunjun held the wine in both hands and gently clinked the glasses with Auntie Wan.
"I asked the small kitchen to prepare these dishes, but I don't know if they suit Auntie's taste." Xu Chunjun picked up the pair of chopsticks next to him and picked up a piece of shrimp from the ham and shrimp for Auntie Wan.
"Miss Xu is interested." Wan Yiniang had already seen the dishes on the table. Although there were not many, each one was very exquisite and they were all her favorites. She knew that Xu Chunjun must have inquired about them in advance.
Of course Wan Yiniang knew that Xu Chunjun had other reasons for inviting her to dinner, but as long as Xu Chunjun didn't mention it, she would pretend not to know, and she would eat and drink as much as she wanted. It depends on how deep Xu Chunjun's Taoism is, how much he can make Mrs.
Give her the stewardship.
After Wan Yiniang had tasted all these dishes and drank three glasses of wine, Xu Chunjun said: "To be honest with Auntie, I am now looking forward to Madam coming back soon so that I can take care of the housekeeper."
Take off the responsibility."
"Although you are young, you are a good housekeeper. Madam can trust you, which is also your blessing." Wan Yiniang did not take Xu Chunjun's words seriously, and she used them to deal with it.
"I can't stay in this house for long, so why bother to be such a bad person?" Xu Chunjun shook his head and smiled bitterly, "But Madam is kind to me, and I really can't bear to refuse, so I can barely cope with it for a few days. With a heart in my heart, I pinched
I'm sweating a lot. I'm really going crazy from the torture."
"I think you are drunk and talking nonsense. Why can't you stay here long?" Wan Yiniang suddenly became interested, "You have done nothing wrong. In my opinion, Madam will reward you when she comes back!"
"
"There are some things I can't say right now. Auntie, just remember that I won't be here long." Xu Chunjun grinned, with moonlight in his eyes, "So Madam asked me to be the housekeeper. I don't ask for merit, but for merit."
Passed. Of course, if you can say a good word for someone in front of your wife, you will never say a bad word. After all, everyone has difficulties, and no one will harm others intentionally."
Wan Yiniang's hand holding the wine glass loosened and tightened.
Finally, he picked up the jug and filled a glass for Xu Chunjun, and toasted her: "Miss Xu, you are a crystal-hearted person, and the wonderful thing is that you never try to be smart. Even if you don't live here in the future, you still have to come and visit often.
I am a humble person, so I would like you to say a few more kind words for me in front of my wife when the time comes."
"My aunt is already excellent, and my kind words for you are just the icing on the cake. But as the old saying goes, the icing on the cake is the icing on the cake, so why not?" Xu Chunjun smiled affectionately and spoke in a sweet tone.
Wan Yiniang put aside her prejudices and looked at her. She was indeed a lovable girl.
When Wan Yiniang left, she was drunk and tipsy.
Two maids, Yu Qing and Xuerou, supported her. Xu Chunjun warned: "I'm sorry for bothering you two sisters. Please help my aunt back!"
Wan Yiniang was slightly tipsy and returned with her two maids, sharing the flowers and brushing the willows and stepping on the moon.
The moonlight is cool, clear and moist, which is very pleasant.
When we returned to Luoxiang Garden, most of the servants were asleep, only the two or three maids and women watching the night in the house were still awake.
"Auntie, are you feeling dizzy? Do you want to ask someone in the kitchen to make a bowl of hangover soup?" Xuerou asked.
"I feel comfortable drinking this wine today, so there is no need for sobering up soup." Wan Yiniang didn't ask to light the lamp, and the moonlight came into the house, which was enough for lighting.
"Auntie, do you want to take a shower?" Yu Qing asked.
"I want to take advantage of the drunkenness and fall asleep. I feel refreshed after a shower." Wan Yiniang sat lazily on the edge of the bed and looked at the shadow of the banana reflected on the window screen.
While Yu Qing and Xuerou were undressing Wan Yiniang, they asked, "What does Xu Chunjun mean tonight?"
"This Miss Xu is really a smart person," Wan Yiniang couldn't help but sigh. "She can speak clearly without hurting anyone's face. I really don't know what her future will be like."
"Auntie, the slaves don't understand what you mean." Xuerou and Yu Qingjun were confused.
"It's just a misunderstanding. You will know about it in the future." Wan Yiniang was tired and wanted to rest. "Remember to tell Miss Xu tomorrow morning that I found my bracelet. It is in the grass beside the pavilion. Is it right?
Be careful to leave it there."
"That's it?!" The two maids couldn't believe it.
They had originally discussed it with Wan Yiniang and lied about the missing bracelet to create a problem for Xu Chunjun.
"Why are you unwilling to give in? You will know later that a false alarm is the best thing." Wan Yiniang smiled and said no more.
As of now, it is enough that she and Xu Chunjun know each other well.
Therefore, Xu Chunjun first did not send anyone to find the whereabouts of the bracelet, and secondly, he did not have any conflict with Aunt Qi.
With four dishes, one soup, and a bottle of wine, the storm was easily resolved while talking and laughing.
What's even more remarkable is that she saved everyone's face and made the people who originally designed her not be able to hate her.
"Thankfully she won't stay in this house for a long time." Wan Yiniang was sleepy, but she was still thinking about Xu Chunjun, "otherwise I wouldn't have a good time."
The moon has moved to the west, the night wind is blowing through the grass and trees, and everything is silent.
