"Sister, I would like to toast you with this glass of wine. Thank you both for taking care of our family."
Ms. Yang was a little dizzy, but her mind was clear and her tongue was not stiff when speaking. But she suddenly toasted like this, and the other daughters-in-law were eager to prepare.
After drinking it in such a round, it would be weird if it wasn’t too much!
Cheng Xue hurriedly held her hand, smiled at everyone and said:
"Today's meal is not only a farewell to you, but also an expression of gratitude. I am grateful for your help and care for me after Huizi went south to study. Also, before Huizi failed to pass the exam, you helped and took care of us.
Maintenance. Especially the Dake sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law. They are all in the wine. I will do it first as a respect."
After saying this, without waiting for Yang's reaction, he raised his head and drank. When others saw this, they also drank, forgetting to say a toast.
Usually the female family members eat the fastest here, but not today. Not only do they eat slower, they can also chat and drink better than the men in the front yard.
The small jar of white peony root was not enough, so three more small jars were added later.
Some wives lie down on the table and sleep after drinking too much. Some of them get more and more excited as they drink, and they even try to fight with each other. The only one sober at the table is Mrs. Xu. She has to breastfeed and cannot drink. Even her mother, Mrs. Geng, drank a lot.
, now leaning on Cheng Xue and crying about her regrets.
This was the first time that Mrs. Xu heard about it. When she learned that her mother followed her grandfather's arrangement and married her father, she suddenly understood why her mother would ask her opinion again and again when she said they wanted to marry her.
"...My child, I am telling you all this just to tell you that on the day when Tangtang and Tiantian say goodbye, you must keep your eyes peeled. Knowing everything is not necessarily a good match, and you still have to prepare enough dowry for your daughter.
Let them feel confident."
"Okay, I know Aunt Geng, I remember it all." Cheng Xue was also a little dizzy, but she was in good condition and her mind was very clear.
Mrs. Geng was in a good mood when she saw her being so cooperative, and continued to complain about her past dissatisfaction. Mrs. Xu wanted to drag her mother away, but just as she was about to stand up, Cheng Xue stopped her with her eyes and had to sit down on the chair.
Finally, the savior came, and Dong Cheng came to pick her up. She took advantage of the situation and asked her husband to help her mother away so that she would not continue to suffer here.
The women in the main room today are really an eye-opener for the men. They are usually more dignified than the other, but looking at it now, it is really hard to describe them.
Everyone found their wife in a tacit understanding and carefully helped her up.
Cheng Xue felt embarrassed and stood up and said:
"I'm sorry, everyone, I filled your wives too much."
"No, no, judging from what my sister-in-law said, it's just because I'm happy that I'll be fine after a sleep." Li Qingshan responded with a smile and carefully supported Fang.
Li Qingchun and others also echoed and waved goodbye.
I went out with Li Hui to see him off. I was fine in the house, but when I saw the wind, I couldn't do it. I was so dizzy that I couldn't stand, so I could only hold his arm tightly.
Sensing her strangeness, he also secretly stabilized her with a tacit understanding. After everyone had gone away, he asked in a low voice:
"Do you want to vomit?"
Cheng Xue shook her head, put her hands around his neck, and gasped:
"I'm a little dizzy but can't spit it out. Don't worry, I'm fine."
Li Hui was afraid that she would fall again, so he directly picked her up and told Li Zhong to "hang up the door" and returned to the main courtyard without looking back.
After entering the house, he carefully placed the child on the kang, and Bai Shao brought him hangover soup.
After eating the sour hangover soup, Cheng Xue felt a slight taste in her mouth and her mind became clearer. She took advantage of this time to wash up and went to the Nuan Pavilion as a habit, but found that the child was not there.
"Madam, the young master went to the eldest lady's yard to rest."
Cheng Xue nodded, said "hmm" and said:
"Okay, you go down and have a rest. Let's get up early and get on our way tomorrow."
"Yes."
The door was closed again. Cheng Xue sat in front of the dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror. Then she felt dizzy and dizzy.
Li Hui saw her sitting in front of the mirror, not moving for a long time. He walked over in confusion and asked:
"What are you doing?"
Cheng Xue raised her head and looked at him with blurred eyes, "Hehe..." She chuckled twice and raised her hand to hook his chin.
"Nothing, just sitting and playing."
Playing? You’re really tough!
Li Hui did not expose her. After all, people who drink too much are most afraid of others saying they "drink too much."
"You have to go on your way tomorrow. Stop playing now. I'll help you go to the kang to rest."
"Go back to the kang and play? What are you playing with?"
He knew clearly in his heart that she was talking nonsense after drinking, but his lower abdomen was still tight and his mouth was dry. He had never eaten meat in modern times, but he had this kind of body. It wasn't that he didn't think about it when he dreamed back at midnight, but he really didn't dare.
If you go too far, you might scare her.
"Don't make trouble, I'll help you back first."
Cheng Xue let out a "hum", but still stood up and staggered back to the kang.
"I'm telling you, I really don't want to drink today."
"Well, I know, Bai Shao told me." Li Hui said while helping her take off her shoes.
"The infusion I told you last time was actually done by the head nurse. I watched it, but she just refused to admit it."
"Well, she is wrong. You have a sense of justice. When you have time to go back, I will accompany you to expose her."
Li Hui responded, and his hands were not idle, and he quickly helped her take off her outer garment.
"That bakery is really delicious, why do you say it's not delicious?"
"I'm just teasing you. I want you to say a few more words to me."
Li Hui was not only not annoyed by Cheng Xuedong's chatting with a hammer but also with a stick in the west. On the contrary, she found it interesting and responded to every word. She drank well. Although she was a bit chatty after drinking too much, she basically didn't know the topics she had said once.
Besides, there is no nagging.
He took off his clothes and trousers, stuffed them directly into the bed, and said:
"You go to bed first, and I'll take a bath."
As soon as Cheng Xue heard this, she became energetic, pulled his sleeves, and said:
"Shall I rub your back? Don't you always tell me that you have eight-pack abs? Let me take a look?"
"Are you sure?" Li Hui swallowed subconsciously, sweating on his forehead.
Cheng Xue sat up, looked at him firmly with her eyes, and said:
"Qing Lin wrote last time that he rented a house for two people. It couldn't be another dowry for his mother. Isn't twenty taels of silver a month for the second house a bit too little?"
Li Hui squeezed out the word "a lot" through his teeth, put on his shoes and prepared to go out to take a shower.
"You really don't need me to rub your back? I did it to my grandpa, and my hand strength is okay."
"What did you say? How did you rub it?"
"My grandpa is shirtless in the yard in the summer, so I rub it." Cheng Xue answered obediently.
Li Hui breathed a long sigh of relief, rubbed the top of her hair and said:
"Go to sleep. I have to rush on my way tomorrow morning. You can rub my back after I pass the exam."
Cheng Xue said "Oh" when she heard this, lay down again, then turned over and hugged the quilt.
Just when Li Hui was about to go out——
"You haven't responded to this, Li Juren, are you incompetent?"
"You——Cheng Xiaoniuer, are you sure you want me to prove myself to you?"
Li Hui was really annoyed. He didn't care about any rules or etiquette. But when he walked to the kang, he found that the culprit was already fast asleep. It was really annoying!
Okay, Xiaonizi, when you sober up, I will recall your "feat" for you and see if you are embarrassed or not!
