When the luncheon was about halfway through, Tao Hailiang, accompanied by Qiu Xiangya, went to each table to propose a toast.
He has a very good capacity for drinking. Although he has drunk a lot in his stomach, he can still talk and laugh with others freely. It can be seen that today's move to a new home makes him very satisfied and his joy will last forever.
When they entered Xiong Jiandong and Miao Xin's box, Wei Shengli quickly took the lead in getting up and hurriedly stepped forward to serve them.
Everyone, including Miao Xin, also stood up from their seats.
Only Xiong Jiandong sat still, looking at Tao Hailiang with a look that was difficult to explain clearly and with complicated emotions.
Wei Shengli glanced at Xiong Jiandong and sneered at Tao Hailiang: "General Manager Tao, I'm sorry. This Taoist guest has been fed too much by me. He doesn't even have the ability to stand up now!"
Tao Hailiang didn't take it seriously and smiled generously: "Just have fun, just have fun!"
Then he raised his glass and toasted to everyone.
But Qiu Xiangya seemed to see something unusual in the way Xiong Jiandong stared at Tao Hailiang, and felt that it was either a drunken look or not.
Just when Tao Hailiang and Qiu Xiangya turned around and were about to leave, Xiong Jiandong suddenly shouted from behind: "Brother Hailiang!"
Tao Hailiang turned around and looked at Xiong Jiandong in surprise.
Because before Huai went public, no one except Zhang Hua Nianping, the former director of Enyuan Group, had dared to call him such a name.
"Brother Hailiang, I want to have a few drinks with you!"
Xiong Jiandong stood up, holding the wine glass, and walked to Tao Hailiang.
"You!" Tao Hailiang hesitated: "Can this Taoist priest still drink?"
Xiong Jiandong didn't answer and drank a glass of wine. Then he picked up the bottle of wine he had just opened from the table and filled it up for himself again.
Tao Hailiang had no choice but to follow and drank the wine in the glass without giving up.
Xiong Jiandong also poured it for Tao Hailiang again.
After drinking three glasses in a row, Tao Hailiang lost his temper. Although he was not immediately drunk, he obviously started to stutter: "Taoist priest... what do you mean?"
Although Xiong Jiandong began to become unstable, he had no intention of stopping there.
"Me?" He didn't know how to answer, "I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to have a good drink with Brother Hailiang!"
Qiu Xiangya took the initiative to clink glasses with Xiong Jiandong and said with a smile: "Taoist Master Tao is no match for Mr. Tao. You might as well let me toast you with a few glasses on his behalf!"
Xiong Jiandong said in a cold tone: "I'm sorry, I never drink with women!"
Qiu Xiangya was bored and had to go back to the side.
Knowing that he couldn't escape, Tao Hailiang held on to his scalp and had a few last drinks with Xiong Jiandong until the two of them drank the bottle of wine to the bottom.
The two of them had drunk almost 70 to 80% of the drink before this, and now each of them drank half a kilo, which was not an ordinary overdose.
Tao Hailiang was so drunk that he couldn't express anything. He just kept patting Xiong Jiandong on the shoulder and waving his hands, and was carried away by Qiu Xiangya and Wei Shengli.
Miao Xin had been standing behind Xiong Jiandong, and it was only then that she helped him sit down on a chair.
The reason why she didn't try to dissuade Xiong Jiandong from the side was because she believed that he would not stop drinking until he drank so much that he completely forgot about all his troubles.
As for why Xiong Jiandong climbed up to Tao Hailiang and had a drink, Miao Xin didn't think much about it.
After Qin Xinjia, Qiu Xiangni and others had left the table and retreated for a while, Xiong Jiandong mumbled something inarticulate to Miao Xin, as if he was in a state of dementia, shook his body, and ran out with a staggering gait.
Long Qing took a few steps forward and wanted to help Xiong Jiandong, but he pushed him away.
Huichang Yuan had been waiting in front of the car under the hotel for a long time.
He had just heard someone say that when Tao Hailiang was toasting at the table, he was pestered by the Taoist priest he brought over, and he got drunk very rudely, which made him very unhappy. Now he saw Xiong Jiandong was also drunk.
He was not taking it lightly and ignored himself, which made him even more worried.
However, for the sake of Miao Xin's sake, Hui Changyuan did not want to have any trouble. Together with Long Qing, he helped Xiong Jiandong into the car.
Not far from the car leaving the hotel, Xiong Jiandong suddenly snorted vaguely: "I'm going to go swimming in the lake!"
Not many people could hear clearly.
Miaoxin asked: "Brother Xiong, what are you talking about?"
Xiong Jiandong repeated it loudly.
But Long Qing, who was driving, just kept going. He couldn't figure out where Xiong Jiandong wanted to go now?
Xiong Jiandong was so anxious that he patted the car window and kept gesturing, asking Long Qing to turn the car around and head west.
Miaoxin asked Long Qing to stop the car on the side of the road so that she could find out what Xiong Jiandong was going to say. After listening for a long time, she asked Long Qing if there was a place called Youhu Lake?
Long Qing replied that the location of the lake is exactly in the west direction of the city.
Huichang said, seeing that Mr. Xiong was very drunk and unconscious, he had better hurry up and go back to the main altar of Lingshen Sect to find a room for him to have a good sleep.
Miao Xin said resolutely that she must accompany Xiong Jiandong and go to the lake first.
Seeing that Huichang Yuan could not persuade Xiong Jiandong and Miao Xin, he had to order Long Qing to change direction.
More than twenty minutes later, as soon as the car stopped at the edge of the lake, Xiong Jiandong stumbled out. Miao Xin and Long Qing followed closely behind him.
Huichang Yuan was also persuaded to drink a lot of wine at noon, and stayed alone in the car to take a nap to rest his mind.
Although it is approaching the end of April and it is a weekend holiday, there is a bright spring scene, and the construction of the film and television base for the first phase of the lake tour has been completed and has been opened to tourists one after another. However, it is deserted at this time, and there are very few people.
Tourists come.
What is extremely inconsistent with the style of the film and television base is that the wetlands along the lake are occupied by a large number of real estate development projects. There are garden houses and spacious villas, but most of them are in an unfinished state. There is only one completed sales office.
, has been fully completed, but few people visit there.
Xiong Jiandong rushed aimlessly along the way, muttering to himself from time to time.
But he muttered something, and Miao Xin and Long Qing didn't hear a word clearly.
Not far ahead, there is a temple called Shenjun Hall. Further forward, there are some ancient buildings with broken walls.
Miao Xin saw that it was very dangerous, so she quickly blocked Xiong Jiandong's path, not allowing him to take another step forward.
Xiong Jiandong stopped and stared forward, which seemed to bring back a series of memories of Huaishang. He thought of the time when he, Lin Sirer and Qin Xinru once gathered on the shore of the lake to fish.
Nowadays, Lin Sirer died young and her ashes were buried in Xishan Cemetery in Beijing. Qin Xinru went to Tengchong, Yunnan and her whereabouts are unknown. How is her physical condition known?
Also, Chen Hongjuan, who was once a beautiful anchor of Huaishang TV Station, was passionate and dedicated to him. Now she is living in Japan, and she doesn’t know what her situation is like?
These three women are the pain in Hua Nianping's mind that will never be erased.
"My heart is full of sorrow here, and I can't think of anything to relieve it; life is long and painful, and there are all kinds of cross-border sorrows!"
His voice was so low that only he could understand these lines of poetry.
Miao Xin originally thought that Xiong Jiandong was speaking incoherently again, but she felt that the five-character rhyme he casually spoke seemed to have connotations in it. She wished she had not leaned closer to him and kept it in her heart.
She saw Xiong Jiandong wandering in despair. She didn't know how long he had been demented. Then he was blown by a gust of lake wind. He was so drunk that he fell sleepily on a stone tablet and shed two lines of tears.
Later, Xiong Jiandong fell asleep in a daze.
How long will he sleep for?
Miao Xin guarded Xiong Jiandong, and when she saw that the sun was setting and the air-conditioning on the lake was approaching, she became a little worried, fearing that he would definitely catch a cold if he lay down again.
However, she and Long Qing shouted to Xiong Jiandong for a long time, but saw that he had no response.
Miao Xin sighed and ordered Long Qing to squat down, lift Xiong Jiandong from behind, lay on Long Qing's back, and carry him back.
…
After leaving Huaishang Lake Wetland, Miao Xin and others returned to the main altar of Shanngling Shenzong in Mazhai Township, Linhuai County. Xiong Jiandong was still asleep in the car.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Hui Changyuan felt quite tormented and uncomfortable along the way.
This was because he kept peeking through the rearview mirror above and peeking into the back row. He could see Miao Xin looking pitiful, letting most of Xiong Jiandong's body lie drunk between her thighs.
Although Hui Changyuan knew full well that Miao Xin was very strictly disciplined by Master Ci Yi, and even though she had a close relationship with Xiong Jiandong, Liang did not dare to make any mistakes, but she ignored Taoist rules and showed such consideration and love to him.
It's hard to prevent the two of them from having any hidden ambiguity between them in the past.
When the car stopped, Miao Xin patted Xiong Jiandong for a long time, but failed to wake him up.
Hui Changyuan persuaded Miao Xin that it was better to leave Xiong Jiandong in the car and sleep again. After a few hours, he would wake up and get up on his own.
Miao Xin glared at Hui Changyuan and ordered Long Qing to carry Xiong Jiandong to the room where she lived.
Huichang Yuan was startled and immediately shouted that it was absolutely impossible.
He thought to himself, how could he tolerate a man casually lying on Miao Xin's bed.
She was going to be the wife of her sect leader tomorrow, so she couldn't afford to be a turtle before she became the groom.
Therefore, Hui Changyuan hurriedly called an old priest named Monk Wang over and asked him to quickly clean up the inner courtyard suite, which was always not easily accessible to outsiders, and immediately put the drunk Mr. Xiong in there.
When Long Qing heard that Xiong Jiandong was being carried to the suite in the inner courtyard, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
Moreover, Miao Xin was not aware of Long Qing's strange expression.
Huichang Yuan explained to Miao Xin that as a Taoist saint, how could she allow others to stay in her boudoir? What's more, she would be consecrated to the Supreme Spirit Mother tomorrow, so she couldn't let the congregants gossip.
Miao Xin asked, was the inner courtyard suite clean?
Huichang Yuan glanced at Long Qing and replied, this suite had just received a father and daughter who were religious priests a while ago. Although it was remote, it was very elegant, quiet and comfortable, so the junior sister-in-law could rest assured.
Miaoxin thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
There are two rooms in the inner courtyard suite. Long Qing carried Xiong Jiandong on his back and placed him on the bed in the inner room.
Huichang Yuan, in front of Miao Xin, immediately ordered Long Qing and the teaching servant named Monk Wang to sleep in the outer room of this suite tonight, and to serve Mr. Xiong at any time and not to be slow to wait.
Seeing that Miaoxin agreed with his arrangement, Huichang Yuan resigned from her and went to Liu Lidian with confidence to discuss a series of major arrangements for tomorrow.
Miao Xin stayed in front of Xiong Jiandong's bed for a while, and she seemed to smell an indescribable peculiar smell in the room. It was fishy and had a greasy aroma, which made her feel quite uncomfortable.
When she opened the window, the smell still lingered.
Miao Xin frowned and asked Long Qing, "How long has this room been without anyone living in it?"
Long Qing carefully replied: "It hasn't been too long. A father and daughter have stayed here for a few days just a few days ago."
"It's haunted!"
The servant named Monk Wang suddenly said something.
