Chapter 986: I won’t come home until I’m drunk tonight
In short, with a skeptical attitude, Xiao Qiao followed Lu Xun's guidance and went all the way to the interior of Fuchun Pavilion - listening to the noisy sounds coming from upstairs from time to time, Xiao Qiao knew that this rather weird banquet should be...
It has already started.
"Please also ask Miss Xiao Qiao to go upstairs from the stairs on this side - when you get upstairs, there is a place for girls to rest in the inner room behind the screen - tonight, please ask Miss Xiao Qiao to stay in the inner room, no matter what is coming from outside.
If there is any movement, please do not leave without authorization - until we notify you."
After saying that, Lu Xun bowed slightly, clearing a path for Xiao Qiao. Xiao Qiao cast his eyes along the road, and sure enough, he saw the stairs Lu Xun mentioned.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Qiao said nothing more, just bit his lip and walked forward silently.
"Miss Xiao Qiao, wait a minute."
The footsteps in mid-air were stopped by this call. Xiao Qiao looked at Lu Xun with a tired look, not quite understanding what else Lu Xun had to tell him - at least in her opinion, she had no initiative at all now.
After all, the only decision she has made now is just something that has been arranged by others, so...even if she does not resist Lu Xun now, she still has a lot of grudges in her heart - it can only be said that she is now towards Lu Xun
The truth she said was too much to look forward to. She had some unexplainable vision in her heart and was willing to make any attempt to achieve it.
"What else is there..."
"No…"
Lu Xun shook his head, took out a clean handkerchief from his sleeve, and handed it to Xiao Qiao.
"Wipe it off. Some blood stains on your face will take away from the girl's beauty."
Somehow, just hearing this sentence made Xiao Qiao's nose feel a little sore.
The painful memory flashed through her mind at this moment, but she quickly put it aside.
Today, Xiao Qiao showed a rare and slightly sad smile, took the handkerchief from Lu Xun's hand, and thanked him gently.
Then, under Lu Xun's gaze, she slowly climbed up the stairs and soon disappeared at the end of the pavilion.
At this point, Lu Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking back on the plan he had made with the strange man before, he still felt a little unbelievable.
If combined with the various rumors about the previous person, the shock that followed always forced Lu Xun to remain humble and cautious.
"Okay, next...it's time to close the net."
With these words behind him, Lu Xun turned around and climbed up the stairs in the hall on the other side, heading towards the bright lights upstairs.
——
It can only be said that Yi Xiaotian is very accurate in judging people.
Lu Ji has a great reputation, and is even called a genius compared to Lu Xun, but only for this plan, Yi Xiaotian asked everyone by name to discuss it with Lu Xun, and all the influences were reflected in tonight's arrangement.
If Lu Xun hadn't come forward, maybe Xiao Qiao wouldn't be so obedient - the gentle Lu Xun, compared to those really young dudes, is less energetic and more calm, and his tone always has a sincere tone.
…Moreover, sometimes the way a person speaks can have a huge impact on whether something can be accomplished:
The title "Miss Xiao Qiao" will definitely sound strange to others, because as Zhou Yu's wife, most people will call Xiao Qiao madam with a little awe, but... I don't know how many years have passed, as Xiao Qiao has
With fewer and fewer opportunities to appear in public, and her status in the family being constantly suppressed, the title "Mrs." has become increasingly mocking. Likewise, Xiao Qiao herself is not very willing to hear this title.
.
Lu Xun changed his title. Although this detail was small, together with his subsequent action of handing Xiao Qiao a handkerchief, it aroused Xiao Qiao's vigilant heart.
"If the messenger is Lu Xun... I guess the result won't be too bad, right?"
Once such an idea came up, Lu Xun and others would have a lot less to worry about.
——
"Well, Boyan, where have you been, General? Why are you here now?"
Under the bright lights, in the hall of Fuchun Pavilion, which was surrounded by decorated beads and carved beams, Zhou Yu's slightly joyful voice sounded from a distance.
Lu Xun straightened his posture, put on a normal expression as if nothing had happened just now, and faced the owner of the voice.
You wouldn’t know it until you got closer. As soon as he approached Zhou Yu, Lu Xun smelled the smell of alcohol coming from Zhou Yu.
He doesn't like to drink, but of course, if the situation forces him, he will certainly not refuse.
But after smelling the alcohol on Zhou Yu's body, Lu Xun showed a half-smiling expression.
"Oh, General, I asked the coachmen to park the carriage a little further away so as not to block passers-by. It will also be convenient."
Zhou Yu didn't mind Lu Xun's explanation that much, or in other words, the alcohol had already begun to affect his mind.
A feeling of elation came over Tianling Gai. Zhou Yu had not felt such a happy feeling for a long time, so the troubles that had been lingering around him before had gradually been forgotten by him.
"It doesn't matter, the banquet is waiting for you. Today...eh...I seem to have forgotten something?"
He grabbed Lu Xun, who he had secretly suppressed so many times - in any case, Lu Xun was more pleasing to the eye than those old dogs who had fundamental conflicts of interest with him - and staggered toward him.
Walk towards the center of the banquet.
Now Lu Xun had a very thorough understanding of what it felt like to be pinched by the target he hated.
But because of his hatred and clear goals, Lu Xun did not show any displeasure.
"Captain! Governor! Don't... I'm a little out of breath..."
"Hahahaha... Come on, come on, Boyan is finally here, pick up the wine cup for me!"
Zhou Yu, who was laughing loudly, kept spinning around in the field, shouting loudly, and Lu Xun took this opportunity to finally get out.
Everyone who was attracted by Zhou Yu's behavior - including Zhang Zhao and Gu Shao who looked a little drunk on the outside but were actually sober - raised their glasses one after another and smiled at Zhou Yu.
Lu Xun from the field greeted him.
"Come, come, come! Today's banquet will cost Boyan a lot of money. If anyone dares to have a bad time, he will not give Boyan face!"
Zhou Yu's previous aloof and cold behavior could be said to be gone.
Among the juniors, such as Gu Shao, Lu Ji, etc., after the previous round of toasts, several of them had actually gotten under the table.
At this moment, Zhou Yu summoned them again, and only Zhang Cheng and Lu Ji, who had drunk less, could stand up.
Except for a few people who knew the entire plan, the juniors who came here today all responded to Lu Xun's call for one purpose: to drink Zhou Yu down.
Good guy, when this goal was given, no one was interested in asking why. Everyone shouted that Zhou Yu must be embarrassed today - this was both a sign of respect and a challenge, but now they all showed their true colors.
Sure enough, Zhou Yu didn't say any big words, and his drinking capacity was as good as one drink at a time.
Seeing this scene, Lu Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, remembering Yi Xiaotian's stare, paused, and also raised the wine cup to greet him.
"I won't come home until you and I get drunk today!"
