I couldn't go to the Qinhuai River last time, so it would be nice to see the dinner party of the rich and nobles this time!
But Fifth Brother said, although I pretended to be a man this time, I am not a man after all. I am still an unmarried lady. It is better not to do something like this in public. Besides, I am not in good health. , after working so hard for so many days, it’s better to take more rest.
My understanding of what Fifth Senior Brother said is——
You are a young lady, why are you having dinner with a few men at night? Go to bed early!
When the moon rose above the willow trees, I watched with great resentment as the fifth and ninth brothers left the courtyard and went to a banquet that I had never seen before.
As for Senior Brother Xiaobai, he has always been the most arrogant person and would definitely not go to such an occasion.
After eating some white porridge, I lay on the window sill and looked at the sky for a while. Alas, I had nothing to do, so I had to go to bed early...
After sitting in the bathtub for more than half an hour, I finally figured it out. Young Master Xu's banquet was probably a Hongmen banquet.
You say that a group of people suddenly come to your door and ask for your treasure without shame. You always have to be careful and find out the details of this group of people, right?
After understanding this, my sincere intention to attend the banquet was no longer so sincere.
After soaking for an hour, I slowly crawled out of the tub and was about to put on my clothes when the door banged again.
Alas, when will Senior Brother Xiaobai change his habit of kicking people in the door?
I calmly pulled up my middle coat and turned around to see Senior Brother Xiaobai walking in with a leisurely expression.
"The moonlight is just right this time. Drinking alone is always boring. Come and drink with me!" Senior Brother Xiaobai said calmly.
Alas, my little junior sister is really miserable. She even has to do things like accompany her to drinks. Alas...
I glanced sadly at the soft and warm bed, casually threw on a robe, and followed Brother Xiaobai out the door.
After leaving the west courtyard, turn right and you will see the lotus pond of Xu Mansion. The place Brother Xiaobai chose to drink this time is the verandah beside the lotus pond.
It is now mid-September, and there are no lotus flowers in the lotus pond. However, this Xu Mansion is very similar to Mr. Xu's century-old blessed land. It is also planted with osmanthus trees. At this time, the osmanthus flowers are blooming just right, and the osmanthus seeds are fragrant. Floating all over the courtyard.
Although I was drinking with Senior Brother Xiaobai, most of the time I was staring at the dark lotus pond in a daze, thinking about bitter leaf asarum, the antidote, and my wedding next year and after the hairpin.
When I turned around to look again, the two pots of osmanthus wine brought by Brother Xiaobai had already reached the bottom. Now, Brother Xiaobai was shaking his plain fan and admiring the moon.
I felt uneasy, fearing that Senior Brother Xiaobai would lose face in the Xu Mansion if he drank too much, so I quickly stared at him carefully——
Fortunately, Brother Xiaobai's face was only slightly red, but his hand holding the fan was very steady, so I felt relieved.
Under the hazy moonlight, I looked at Senior Brother Bai wearing a white robe and holding a plain fan. Suddenly a question came to my mind——
Senior Brother Xiaobai wears a white robe all day long, isn't he afraid of getting dirty?
Such a beautiful scenery on a good day, accompanied by sweet-scented osmanthus wine, will always relax people's mind. Therefore, thinking about it, I asked the same question.
Brother Xiaobai paused while waving the fan, then lowered his head to admire the lotus pond without lotus flowers.
Alas, this question of mine is not nutritious. No wonder Senior Brother Xiaobai didn’t answer, alas...
While he was thinking wildly, Senior Brother Xiaobai stared at the dark lotus pond and said quietly: "This is the mourning clothes I wear for my brother."
