The small banquet in the hall was half done, and the carefully prepared delicacies on the table were rarely touched, but there were many wine bottles scattered around the table.
The two young women were already tilting their heads in front of the table, with rosy faces, gloomy eyes, and slightly open skirts. The night wind that entered the door blew the fragrance inside out of the house and spread it far and wide, but it was still drizzling silently. They disappeared quietly, but it was a pity that no one could appreciate the charming appearance of these two young and beautiful women, laughing and joking.
Only in this widow's house can a daughter be allowed to behave recklessly, holding a wine glass without any restraint.
This was normal for Jiangnan people, but for Li Youlan, it was an unprecedented absurdity.
Although the wine is not good to drink, being able to indulge in sex without restraint and rules like a man is really a great joy in life. It makes Li Youlan feel happy, and the gloom and unhappiness he has experienced in the past few days after entering Beijing are gone. Dissipated in tonight's banquet.
It's a pity that the time we get together is always short. Looking at the dark night, Li Youlan half-squinted her eyes and hooked her slender hands on Jiang Nan's shoulders: "Sister, today... today is... not early, and I... I should go back too." Already."
"Go back? What are you going back for? Look, it's raining and the night is dark. Why not stay here? When you wake up early tomorrow morning, you and I will go to school together and have something to talk about. Wouldn't it be nice?"
"But……"
"No, but, everything is up to my sister. Could it be that you want to go back like this and let the servants in your house see you in such a drunken state? When the news came to your adoptive father when you were young, he didn't think you were going. What kind of place do you want to hang out in? Besides, my mother is the only one living in my sister’s house, and there is no other man. Is it possible that she is afraid that some gossip will spread? "
"It's not that, it's just..."
Li Youlan was a little embarrassed, thinking that she had only known Sister Jiangnan for a day, and now she was eating, drinking, and even sleeping in her house. It was probably not good to live here, so she wanted to refuse.
But who would have expected that this Jiangnan sister's enthusiasm was stronger than she imagined. Without giving her a chance to excuse herself, she filled the wine glass again and handed it to Youlan.
When Li Youlan looked at the wine glass, she suddenly felt a headache. She had drank so much wine in her life, and she had long forgotten how many glasses she had drank.
"Sister, my sister is too drunk. I can't drink anymore."
"Hey! What are you afraid of? How many times in your life do you get drunk? When you meet a close friend with a thousand cups of wine. Today, you promised not to get drunk or come home. Drink! If you don't drink, you won't give your sister face."
Li Youlan's beautiful eyebrows trembled slightly, and the thin eyebrows on both sides were almost connected to a line. But her sister even said these words, how could Li Youlan have the courtesy not to drink? She had to close her eyes and drink in one gulp.
Sai Jiangnan smiled and clapped her hands: "Okay, okay! My sister is indeed a straightforward person."
After drinking this glass, Li Youlan was really confused. She shook her little head, waved her hands, and muttered in a daze: "Sister... I... I really... really can't do it anymore. This wine is good... …This wine… smells good, but… it’s really… really…”
"Hi!" Sai Jiangnan didn't take it seriously, "What kind of good wine is this? Only if you have drunk Wuliangye from Yangzhou, then you know what the taste of wine is."
Just as he was talking, there was a thud next to him.
I saw Li Youlan slumped on the table, hanging down weakly. Her whole body was like a ball of mud and there was no movement at all. She could only hear the vague breathing.
"Hey...hey..." Sai Jiangnan cautiously called out twice, "Are you really asleep?"
After confirming, Sai Jiangnan raised his little face and let out a long sigh of relief: "Huh... you are drunk. If you are not drunk, I will be drunk first. Someone, send Sister Youlan to the guest room to sleep.
Down."
With a simple explanation, Sai Jiangnan stood up in a hurry and walked quickly out of the house.
The servants in the house were so frightened that they didn't dare to say anything, for fear that the lady would fall and fall on their heads.
Ignoring the rain outside, Sai Jiangnan staggered all the way to the door where Xia Shang was, rosy and joyful. He pushed the door open without knocking, and opened his mouth with a green call: "Sir!
"
"Shh..."
She responded with a soft hiss.
Jiang Nan was a little drunk. He stared blankly for a moment, but then exclaimed: "Mother!"
"Shh..."
Mrs. Sai's tone increased, with a hint of blame in her eyes.
Sai Jiangnan woke up a lot after sitting down, rubbing his hot little face, and seeing the man snoring like thunder on the small bed, he couldn't help but smile.
This man's sleeping posture is really bad. Who would have thought that Mr., who is usually as beautiful as a flower, sleeps like a pig's head.
Jiang Nan glanced twice before sitting next to his mother: "Mother, why are you here?"
A flash of shyness inadvertently flashed across Mrs. Sai's face, and she paused: "I heard that an old friend from Yangzhou is here, so I came over to take a look."
"But my husband is already asleep, so why is my mother still standing by?"
Mrs. Desai didn't know what to do with this question, and it was even more difficult to say it in front of her own daughter.
Sai Jiangnan was not a little girl, so she naturally understood her mother's thoughts. She was not surprised but happy, and did not show it. She turned her head and looked at the gentleman on the bed quietly.
Jiang Nan was a little confused. She felt that the husband she hadn't seen for more than a year was getting older. Even when he was sleeping, he no longer had the mean smile he used to have. Instead, he became much more serious, and there was always a bit of sadness between his eyebrows.
She knew that she could tell from her husband's hidden identity as the book boy Li Youlan that his husband must be in some trouble now, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.
Her husband is the most powerful person in the world. If he can make him feel troublesome, it must be a real big trouble.
Thinking about it, Jiang Nan felt a little heartbroken. Thanks to the alcohol, his nose also felt a little sore, and he silently wiped his tears.
Every move of her daughter is in the eyes of Mrs. Sai, and she understands her daughter's love and respect for this man.
But why did this man want to disturb his innocence again and make him obsessed with it?
What if mother and daughter fall in love with a man at the same time?
This is truly an injustice!
The more Mrs. Sai thought about it, the more headache she got, and it was inconvenient to stay in the room. After getting up, she let out a long sigh: "Hey! Jiangnan, you go to bed earlier, mother has left first."
Jiang Nan didn't notice his mother's emotions, so he responded softly and looked at the man on the bed intently.
Hearing the door closing behind him, Jiang Nan impatiently sat on the edge of the bed. He put his little hand in and hooked it with the hand inside. He murmured something in his mouth, and all the words were drowned in the thunderous snoring.
middle.
The night is getting darker, the rain is getting heavier, and the thin window cannot block the whooshing cold wind.
It was a cold night in the capital, and the lonely girl's lonely bed was really cold, no matter how many quilts she covered her with, it would not work.
Okay, now there is a warm embrace right in front of him. Jiang Nan shrank and felt a little moved. He looked at the small bed that could still accommodate one person. He endured the shyness and untied the corset with trembling hands.
