Chapter 92 The Moonlight Night is the most fascinating
After the three of them were half drunk, they all said goodbye and left. They had to attend another party next. Li Siye was very melancholy about this. After all, he had not been in Chang'an City for a long time and had not made many friends.
.
He had just sent the three of them out of Xuanyangfang. When he turned back, he suddenly looked up and saw a woman wearing a pink dress standing at the door, which really shocked him.
Madam Xu said quietly: "Am I so scary?"
Li Siye quickly smiled and waved his hand: "No, no, why don't you, Madam, reunite with your husband at home on Mid-Autumn Festival night, and why are you standing at the gate of the yard?"
"He didn't come back." Madam Xu chuckled, with a hint of the bitterness of a woman in a boudoir's voice.
"I am standing here to invite you to my home. Madam Xu has prepared wine and food. On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I, a lonely woman, would like to treat you to a drink. I wonder if you can appreciate it."
Li Siye raised his head and looked at Madam Xu's face. She had very delicate makeup on her face. The red plum blossoms on her forehead were as gorgeous as a beating flame. The blush on her cheeks was also very obvious. What frightened Li Siye the most.
Yes, it was originally a crescent lip, but a red petal was pointed out in the center of the mouth, like the middle part of a pastry or the centermost stamen of a flower.
She herself felt that she should be very beautiful dressed up like this. In the aesthetic concept of the Tang Dynasty, such a carefully crafted makeup was naturally intoxicating, but in the eyes of a later generation like Li Siye, it was really
I just can’t appreciate it.
"Isn't this bad?" Li Siye shook his head helplessly: "You have a husband. It's not okay for the two of us to drink together and live in the same room."
"My husband is away on business and will not come back tonight. All the servants in the family asked me to go home to reunite with everyone. There is only one maid, Xiaocui, who I brought from my parents' home. She will not tell us about drinking.
Tell anyone."
Madam Xu looked at him diligently, and the words she spoke became more and more pitiful: "Madam Xu was born in Yangzhou, and she married far away and came to Chang'an. She has no relatives around her. On this Mid-Autumn Festival night, can't your husband accompany me?"
Want a drink?"
Li Siye began to use his sister Meier as a shield: "My sister is still at home alone. How about I take her to your house to play?"
"No need, I have asked my maid Xiaocui to go next door to take care of your sister. The two of us who are drinking will sit together and say some thoughtful and confidant words."
Coming from the mouth of a weak woman like her, this sentence seemed to have some ulterior motives.
Li Siye wanted to apologize, madam, you are very tasteful, but no matter how tasteful you are, it is not a reason for us to be alone together.
"No, I still have to go and take a look. My sister doesn't like strangers. I think we should drink in my yard. It will be more lively."
Li Siye walked to his yard and poked his head in from the door. He saw that Li Meier and Madam Xu's maid were sitting on the sheep felt in the yard. The two were holding red strings and were playing a small game similar to rope art. They were enjoying it and would play games from time to time.
Let out a cheerful laugh.
He was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Mei'er to have such a good time with a little maid he had just met.
"I said you don't have to worry, come over and have a drink with me."
Madam Xu was indeed bold and bold at the critical moment. She reached out and grabbed Li Siye's sleeve. He had no choice but to wave to Li Mei'er: "Mei'er, brother, go next door for a drink. Remember to come find me later."
Meier just raised her head and glanced at him, then lowered her head and said, "Go, go, I'm busy."
He followed Madam Xu into the courtyard next door. This was his first visit after moving to Xuanyangfang. Directly opposite was a screen wall. After turning the corner, the courtyard suddenly opened up. There were east and west wings, spanning the front and rear courtyards. There were two courtyards in the two courtyards.
There are flower beds and vegetable gardens surrounded by blue bricks. There are jujube trees against the wall in the outer courtyard and apricot trees inside. At this moment, all the rooms are dark. Only the room next to the main hall is lit with a light, making the entire courtyard look lonely.
This is the place where the feud between women occurs, but her husband is not a warrior seeking a title, but a desert businessman pursuing wealth.
Li Siye really felt unworthy of this man. He left such a beautiful daughter-in-law at home while he went on a long journey. So what if he earned millions of dollars? On this Mid-Autumn Festival night, was he holding his arms in the desert under the moonlit sky?
The wine bag was hidden behind the camel's belly, and he looked up at the moon in loneliness, and then thought about his home anxiously.
Fortunately, I am a gentleman, otherwise springs would have emerged and oasis would have emerged in the desert thousands of miles away.
"Li Langjun, what are you thinking about? Please come in."
When the time came, Li Siye simply gritted his teeth, his heart tightened, and he silently thought in his heart that he would only drink three cups, and immediately retreat after three cups.
On the right side of the house is a wooden couch, which is very wide. It is wide enough for two people to sit across from each other, and there is still plenty of space for sleeping. The only drawback is that it is too close to the door. You can get on the kang by taking off your shoes when you enter.
.
"Come on, Li Lang. Take off your shoes." Madam Xu squatted down in front of him.
"No, no, I'll do it myself."
He took off his Liuhe boots and sat cross-legged on the couch. Madam Xu's face was slightly red, and she sat sideways on the edge of the couch, in the same posture as the woman sitting sideways on the motorcycle, which was certainly better looking than that one.
She raised her jade hand, and there was a golden ring with a bell on it. As long as she moved it lightly, a pleasant sound would sound.
Madam Xu held up the wine flask for him and poured him the first glass of wine.
"Come on, Li Lang, let me toast you."
…
"Good drinker, three more drinks."
…
"Come, Madam Xu, I'll have a drink with you."
…
Li Siye's face turned red, and he waved his hands in a hurry and said, "No, I really can't drink anymore. If I drink any more, I'll get drunk. No, I have to leave."
"Okay, then let's not drink. You can chat with me for a while longer."
"What to talk about?"
"Let me tell you about what happened before I got married. My family used to be in Yangzhou, with a canal just outside the door. My father was also a businessman, specializing in selling cloth to Chang'an. My husband is the son of my father's friend in the shopping mall, and he is ten years older than me...
…”
Li Siye listened patiently to Mrs. Xu's ramble. She poured herself a few glasses, drank slowly, and talked slowly, starting from before the wedding to after the marriage, and even talked about the first day in the bridal chamber. This Mrs. Xu is really
I was a little drunk, how could I tell this kind of thing to outsiders, but what followed was even more drunk talk, and I even talked about the loneliness of being alone in an empty room.
Li Siye felt that he had to leave, otherwise he would make a principled mistake. He quickly turned around and stayed, saying: "I really can't stay here anymore, I have to go back."
Madam Xu said: "It's still early, can't you stay a little longer? I'll put on your shoes."
"No, no, no!"
Li Siye said no, but Li Siye already bent over and staggered over to him, wrapping his arms around his waist.
Li Siye wanted to push her away and reached out to push her shoulders, but the tulle midriff on her shoulders actually slipped down. The feeling... was really criminal.
He pushed her a little harder, causing Madam Xu to stumble and almost fall to the ground. Li Siye was about to go up to help her, thinking that this support must mean something bad, so he hurriedly said: "I'm sorry." In a hurry
The ground ran out of the yard.
Madam Xu did not come out to see her off, she might have been sitting in the room under the light and sighing quietly.
