Xiao Muqing covered her mouth with a smile and ordered her maid to take out the set of Fanbang jewelry she had just bought to make a lucky charm.
A daughter who can come to the Xiao family to attend the banquet will definitely not be short of something worth a thousand and eighty taels of silver, but the meaning of winning it is different, and wearing it will give you more face.
"For the sake of fairness, let's change this rule. Why don't we use summer as the theme, whether it's reciting poems, painting, or performing songs and dances. What do you think?" Xiao Muqing asked with a smile.
"Ms. Xiao is reluctant to part with the fruit bar? The people who can sit here are all ladies from well-known families, with poetry, painting and other talents, but they have been taught by experts since they can speak, so how can they not be able to answer the questions?" Someone joked with a smile.
"Then let's change another rule. In line with today's theme, you can drink a glass of fruit wine. The loser has to drink three glasses of strong liquor. Are you satisfied?" After Wu Shuang finished speaking, he winked playfully and said: "I am the one today.
I plan to drink up all the fruit wine in Sister Qing'er's yard, so please let me have some."
"There is no shortage of fruit bars in the Wu family? Miss Wu should leave the fruit wine to us." The ladies joked with a smile.
Bai Cao and Bai Ling looked at each other and felt that today's banquet seemed not so friendly.
The part of beating drums and passing flowers is originally a must-have event for girls to get together, but they never require three glasses of strong liquor.
Most women are tea drinkers, how many of them can drink well?
"If you come to our side later, I will drink the wine if you lose." Bai Ling lowered his voice and said.
Bai Wei pursed her lips, knowing that she was not talented enough to cope with such a scene.
But Bai Ling's words made Bai Wei feel insulted.
"Second sister, it's not like we can never get drunk after a thousand cups. Even if we say goodbye drunkenly, we can't let you suffer alone." Baicao shook his head and refused.
The three sisters haven't reached an agreement yet, but they have already started beating drums and passing flowers on the other side.
After several attempts, they have never fallen to the side of the Bai sisters, and they have not been fined with alcohol.
"Second sister, I think too much. The Xiao family is an aristocratic family. There is no reason to make things difficult for our sisters." Bai Wei drank a glass of fruit wine, but could not suppress her dissatisfaction.
Bai Ling raised his eyebrows and said nothing, but Bai Cao frowned.
Bai Wei used to have a hotter personality, but she was more protective of her shortcomings.
But just because of Xiao Mu, do you dislike seeing your sisters so much?
Just when Bai Cao was about to speak, a new round of drumming and passing flowers was passed to Bai Wei.
Bai Wei looked at the colorful hydrangea in her hand in astonishment, not knowing how to react at all.
"What is Wei'er planning to perform?" Xiao Muqing asked softly. Seeing Bai Wei looking at her blankly, she apologized to everyone: "How about we give up this round? Wei'er just asked the teacher to teach her.
It's been more than a year, I'm afraid... I was also negligent and shouldn't have suggested playing this game."
"No need, I accept the punishment." Bai Wei stood up, picked up the wine glass in the hand of the maid, and drank three glasses of strong wine.
Even though the Bai family makes wine, Bai Wei never drinks too much. After three glasses of wine, she will feel dizzy.
Bai Ling wanted to stop him, but Bai Wei's speed was too fast, and she only had time to help Bai Wei stand firm.
"Miss Xiao, my second sister is too drunk. I'm afraid she's drunk now. Please forgive us sisters for leaving the table early and come back another day to apologize." Baicao supported Bai Wei's other side and said politely.
"I'm not drunk." Bai Wei pushed away her two sisters and refused to leave with them.
Bai Ling's face darkened slightly, and a silver light flashed between his fingers. He was ready to use extraordinary methods, and he didn't want Bai Wei to cause trouble in other people's homes.
"It's my fault, I shouldn't have suggested drinking three glasses of strong wine." Xiao Muqing came forward apologetically, took Bai Wei's hand, and said: "There is a guest room in the courtyard, I asked the maid to take you there first
Rest for a while and make a bowl of hangover soup. If you still feel uncomfortable, I will take you back, how about it?"
"Okay, thank you Miss Xiao." Bai Wei sneered.
Although I like Xiao Mu, I don't want to embarrass him.
But Bai Wei sneered at Xiao Muqing's approach.
It's just that she didn't see Xiao Mu and it was his birthday. Bai Wei didn't want to leave just like that. She was unwilling to do so.
Bai Wei had already agreed. The two Bai Ling sisters looked at each other and had no choice but to leave with Bai Wei.
As for those mocking looks, they just pretended not to see it. Bai Wei's safety was the most important thing.
Xiao Muqing has already shown her evil side, and they cannot trust Bai Wei to go to the guest house alone.
Naturally, Xiao Muqing would not stop him, but only expressed his apology. As the host, it was not suitable for her to leave the banquet, so she could not accompany him.
"Second sister, I feel so panicked. I always feel like something is going to happen." After helping Bai Wei to go to bed to rest, Baicao held Bai Ling's hand and whispered.
The girls who were brought here were all sent outside to guard her. Only then did Baicao dare to say such a thing.
"Sister, don't be afraid. Even if Xiao Muqing looks down on you and my sisters, today is the Xiao family's banquet. If she hurts us, it will not look good on the Xiao family." Bai Ling comforted her, but she also had the same intuition in her heart.
.
Today's banquet, Xiao Muqing's various behaviors are no longer what an old acquaintance should do.
Bai Cao nodded. At this time, she just hoped that Bai Wei could wake up early so that they could leave here.
Not long after, a girl brought sobering soup and prepared a change of clothes for Bai Wei.
"I'll do it." Bai Ling didn't dare to let Bai Wei drink what Xiao Muqing had prepared alone, so he took the medicine bowl.
"I am ordered to serve several distinguished guests, how can I let the distinguished guests take action? It is better for me to do this kind of service, otherwise I will be blamed by the superiors, and I will be blamed." The girl refused uneasily.
Bai Ling's sharp eyes shot at the girl, and seeing her flustered expression, he was even more sure that there was something wrong with the sobering soup.
"As a sister, it is normal to feed my sister medicine. Your master is a reasonable lady, so naturally he will not punish you for such a trivial matter." Bai Ling reached for the medicine bowl.
But the maid quickly grabbed it with quick eyes and hands, and a bowl of soup spilled on Bai Ling's dress.
"This slave deserves to be punished by the princess." The maid knelt on the ground with a thud, her face turned pale with fright.
"Get up." Bai Ling narrowed his eyes, but his voice was soft.
"Thank you, Princess, for your unpunished kindness. I will go and prepare a change of clothes for Princess. Please go to the room next door and wait for a while." After kowtowing, the maid finished speaking quickly, and then carried the clothes.
Leave the empty bowl.
"There is a change of clothes on the carriage, let the girl get it." Baicao frowned and suggested softly.
"Since Xiao Muqing is so considerate and has prepared a change of clothes for the guests who are coming, we can't help but appreciate it, right?" Bai Ling mentioned the clothes prepared by the Xiao family for Bai Wei, and after checking them, he said to Bai Cao: "Sister, help the three
Sister, please change your clothes, I'll go next door and wait for a while."
Bai Cao wanted to say something more, but Bai Ling had already walked away.
Looking down at the dress in her arms, and then at Bai Wei with blushing cheeks on the bed, Bai Cao sighed and walked over to take care of Bai Wei first.
Bai Wei is indeed very drunk. She just drank a little wine and became extremely drunk.
When I came to the guest house, I vomited some wine and the hem of my skirt was already dirty.
Let's say that after Bai Ling left the guest room, he gave a few instructions to Haitang who was guarding the door, and then went to the room next door.
The layout of the guest rooms is the same, but the furnishings are slightly different, but they are still similar.
As soon as he entered the door, Bai Ling found that the incense in the house was a little unusual.
The light fragrance smells so good that people can't help but want to take a deep breath, but Bai Ling, as a doctor, knows that there is something fishy in it when he smells it. (To be continued)
