Who Said I Was a Coquettish Bitch

Jiang Haoran was not joking, he really dragged Bai Chen to start drinking—of course, Jiang Haoran was not a heartless fool, he was not really trying to drink, but just for fun.

Xiao Lin was a little speechless, but after all, his identity had changed, he couldn't even talk about the scene, he could only scold Jiang Haoran for being in his 20s and messing around.

"The spring breeze is blowing, and the flowers are in full bloom. Wouldn't it be beautiful to drink wine and enjoy the flowers in this small courtyard?" Jiang Haoran still had to push forward.

"Okay, drink as you please." Bai Chen is not a whiny person, but he can't take advantage of Jiang Haoran, a trickster. He suggested, "Brother Xiao, let's join together, two people drinking is not as lively as three people."

With Xiao Lin, a wine tycoon, participating in the battle, Jiang Haoran might not be able to retreat so easily.

Xiao Lin naturally agreed: "Okay."

"What about me?" Jiang Haochen interrupted, "I want to drink too."

Jiang Haoran glared at him: "You drink tea."

Jiang Haochen: ...

"I'll drink tea with you later." Bai Chen leaned into Jiang Haochen's ear and whispered.

……

Sure enough, as Bai Chen expected, at the beginning, the three of them chatted and drank some non-salty topics, and while drinking, the two of them secretly competed, you come and go, the wind is surging, and the jar of wine is not long. See the bottom.

What they prepare are some plum wines that are not easy to get drunk, and the Mochizuki wine in the town hall is reserved for drinking at night.

Although it is a fruit wine with a sweet taste, it still has some stamina.Bai Chen only drank two cups and felt a little over the top, then looked at Xiao Lin and Jiang Haoran, the expressions of the two did not change, drinking was like drinking water, and opened another jar without any pressure.

Bai Chen admired secretly in his heart, the two of them could even score a victory after drinking, their competitive spirit was quite strong.

He put down his wine glass, moved the reclining chair to Jiang Haochen's side, and accompanied him to drink tea and have snacks.

There was a smell of deep frying in the kitchen, Binger took out a plate of dried fish that was deep-fried until yellow and orange, exuding a crispy smell, and put it on the small table, "Ruyi and I have already marinated the leg of lamb, and the dried fish Let's serve wine to the young masters first."

"You and Ruyi have worked hard too, let's take a rest." Bai Chen said, "The wine is ready, and there is nothing to do after the leg of lamb is marinated."

"Yes, young master." Bing'er wiped her hands on her apron, and said happily, "Then, shall I play chess with Ruyi for a while? It's not a chess match, just play the backgammon you taught me last time with chess pieces. Listen to Ruyi I said I wanted to learn."

Bai Chen nodded, "Go."

The dried small fish was delicious, crispy and salty, just right for Bai Chen's appetite. He and Jiang Haochen both ate several of them.

Xiao Lin and Jiang Haoran were not very interested in this, they only tasted one and then continued busy fighting wine.

In the small courtyard, some people are drinking, some are eating snacks, and some people are playing chess in the corner, which looks calm and cozy in the bright spring days.

"Bang bang bang—"

Suddenly there was a light knock on the door.

Xiao Lin and Jiang Haoran put down their glasses and looked at Bai Chen at the same time.

Bai Chen: "...except for you, I didn't invite anyone else today."

"Bing'er, go and have a look." Bai Chen also felt strange, few people knew about his moving here, who could it be?

Bing'er went to the gate of the courtyard to ask, and the people outside said that it was a servant of the uncle's mansion, and it was the second young master who asked him to come to give the gift.

Xiao Lin: ...

Bai Chen: ...

He Wenguang, who has kept his law and order for half a year, can't help but mess around again?How did he know here.

Jiang Haoran was well informed, Xiao Chuan didn't even know about He Wenguang's thoughts on Bai Chen, but he did.

He looked at Xiao Lin as if he was enjoying the show, "I'm afraid Mr. He must not give up."

Xiao Lin ignored him, but said to Bai Chen, "I'll go and have a look."

——He wasn't afraid that He Wenguang would pursue Bai Chen again, he didn't take him seriously at all.He was just afraid that He Wenguang would be unfavorable to Bai Chen.

Xiao Lin walked to the door, and Binger opened the door.

The man standing outside the door was indeed a servant from the uncle's mansion, or a servant who followed He Wenguang, Xiao Lin remembered him.

"My son is auspicious!" Seeing Xiao Lin with a dark face standing in the door, the young servant hurriedly nodded and bowed to greet him, and then explained the purpose of his visit, "My second son heard that Mr. Bai moved to a new house, so he sent the villain to send it over. Congratulations and express your heart."

After finishing speaking, he waved to the back, and another servant was holding exquisite calligraphy and painting and a set of four treasures of the study.

Xiao Lin originally wanted them to take the things back, but after thinking about it, it's better to let Bai Chen decide for himself.

Bai Chen came over to take a look, and directly refused: "Go back and tell Mr. He, if you take it, you don't need it, please take it back."

The two boys looked at each other, their expressions were extremely distressed.Take it back like this for fear that the master will be angry, but you can't force it to the other party.

Seeing their hesitation, Xiao Lin frowned and said, "Why, don't you understand?"

"Excuse me, the villain will leave now." The servant was afraid of Xiao Lin's stern face, afraid that he would tear him apart in the next moment, so he quickly apologized.

After finishing speaking, he left in a hurry with the boy holding the gift.

……

"Sure enough, I want to make a comeback." Jiang Haoran said, "The villain will never die."

Bai Chen pressed his temples and felt a little headache. What on earth is He Wenguang going to do... He clearly hated him to death before, but now he is here to give gifts.

"His brain is different from ordinary people." Xiao Lin said, "Somewhat like a lunatic."

"His elder brother has a refined demeanor, why is he such a bear?" Jiang Haoran said, "No wonder he can offend a large number of people even when he spends his days in the Ministry of Rites."

"If he wants to make trouble, I'll beat him up, it's as simple as that." Bai Chen said, "Forget it, don't affect our mood because of him, don't live up to such a happy life because of a lunatic."

Unexpectedly, not long after, the courtyard door was knocked again.

This time before Bing'er asked, the people outside the door first reported their family name.

A middle-aged woman's voice said politely: "I'm Mrs. Zhang who lives in the courtyard next door. My girl sent me over to deliver some homemade candied fruit."

Bing'er said: "It's Aunt Zhang's voice next door."

"Go and open the door." Neighbors in this era are not as alienated as in modern apartment buildings, and it is common to make something to eat and drink for the next door.

Bing'er opened the door, Aunt Zhang held a beautiful lacquer box and said: "These apricots are grown in the courtyard. They were pickled and pickled last year. They are just ripe, so my girl sent me to give you some to taste."

"Ms. Zhang, you're being polite." Bing'er took the lacquer box, "Wait a minute, shall I find a box and take out the candied fruit?"

"No need, I'll come back tomorrow to pick up the food box." Aunt Zhang said with a smile on her face, "Then I'll be leaving."

"You walk slowly."

……

Bing'er took the food box to the stone table. The candied fruit in the box looked shiny and exuded a sweet and sour fragrance, and her mouth couldn't help but salivate when she smelled it.

"The food box is exquisite and expensive, and the candied fruit looks fine. The house next door is a lady." Jiang Haoran picked up a candied fruit and put it in his mouth.

"Yes." Bai Chen said, "The girl is the master, besides the mother-in-law who brings candied fruit, there is also a personal maid."

After he finished speaking, he realized that both Xiao Lin and Jiang Haoran were staring at him with strange eyes.

"Girl? Did you not leave the court?" Jiang Haoran asked.

"I don't know the specifics, but Bing'er told me this."

"You were followed by a girl just after you moved in." Jiang Haoran sighed, "Why am I not so lucky?"

Bai Chen: ...

Xiao Lin said indifferently: "Neighbors, watch out for each other and give some food to each other. It's not worth your fuss."

"Brother Xiao is right," Bai Chen took the opportunity to say, "If Mr. Jiang is interested in the girl next door, I'll help you find a match tomorrow."

"Okay, you two bullied me, I can't say no to you." Jiang Haoran glanced at his younger brother who was still eating dried fish, angrily, "I only know how to eat, but I don't know how to help elder brother."

Jiang Haochen raised his head and said blankly, "Brother, what's wrong?"

"It's okay!" Jiang Hao ran angrily, "Eat your dried fish!"

……

As the sun set, a bunch of small bonfires were set up in Baichen’s small courtyard. The marinated leg of lamb was roasted until it was bright red and oily, and the slightly scorched skin made the sound of dripping oil. The courtyard is filled with delicious flavors that make your index finger move.

"Sprinkle another layer of spices and smear honey again, and it's ready to eat." Jiang Haoran skillfully turned the leg of lamb, like a chef.

"Hurry up." Jiang Haochen looked forward to it like a child, "Brother, hurry up."

"That's it."

Jiang Haoran finished the last process, took off the leg of lamb and put it on the tray, Xiao Lin divided the meat swiftly with his hands and feet.

Then he gave the best and tenderest meat to Bai Chen first, which made Jiang Haoran roll his eyes again.

"Although you two reconciled, your relationship is still so good." After sighing, Jiang Haochen was suddenly confused, "Then...why did you reconcile?"

Xiao Lin: ...

Bai Chen: ...

"Eat your meat!" Jiang Haoran picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into the mouth of his unlucky brother.

……

The delicious leg of lamb is paired with moon-watching stuffed rice, and watching the moon rise slowly, it is quite interesting.

Wang Yueniang, even Bai Chen stopped drinking tea with Jiang Haochen, the three of them ate meat and drank in big bowls.

The delicacy made with the most primitive cooking techniques is full of wild fun and satisfaction.

This meal of wine and meat was really satisfying, if it wasn't for tomorrow's job, Bai Chen really wanted to get drunk until dawn.

When it was almost Haishi, Jiang Haoran dragged his reluctant younger brother to say goodbye. Bai Chen and Xiao Lin sent them out of the alley. They didn't turn around until they saw the two Jiang family brothers getting into the carriage, and walked back slowly.

"Go back to your residence too." Bai Chen said, "It's getting late, go back and rest early."

"I'll take you back to the yard." Xiao Lin said, "It's not too late."

"……it is good."

The two walked slowly under the moonlight, and the night breeze blew on their bodies itchy and crispy.

One of the shadows on the ground was taller and the other was shorter. They walked side by side, neither far nor near.

At this moment, the sound of the wheels of the carriage came.The residents of this alley, apart from Bai Chen and Xiao Lin who have not yet moved in, are the girl next door.

On a big night, someone visits a single girl?

Or did he really guess correctly that this girl was raised by someone, and that the master came to visit her at night?

Bai Chen and Xiao Lin looked at each other, and Xiao Lin quickly understood the meaning of the other party, he swished up to the opposite roof with his arms around Bai Chen.

Bai Chen: ...

I just want to find a place to hide and watch the gossip. Why is the formation so big?

However, he had never tried the feeling of squatting on the roof in his previous life, and it was... a little exciting.

The two squatted down and watched the carriage enter the alley and stopped in front of the girl's house.

The author has something to say: Jiang. Silly Baitian. Hao. Falling on the ground. Chen: Why did you reconcile?tell me!

Someone Xiao: I don’t want to mention it, my heart hurts.
