Forget it

Chapter 9

"Tired?"

The two came to the place where wild vegetables are everywhere in the north of the mountain. Du Yun followed what Zhu's third wife taught him, went down with a hoe, and was about to send soil to the ground, when he heard Liu Xun ask him this.Startled in the bottom of my heart, I was about to answer, but saw that Liu Xi didn't look at him, and opened his mouth again with a blank expression.

"Aren't you tired of being polite after so long?"

The corner of Du Yun's mouth twitched, "It's my nature, I'm not tired."

Suddenly he asked again, "Are you afraid?"

Without waiting for Liu Zi to frown, he completed the sentence, "I saw Master Liu, are you afraid?"

Liu Zi twitched his neck, "Dad is kind, I'm not afraid!"

Liu Xi was ready for Du Yun to laugh at him, but the other party just smiled softly, "It still scares Zi Yi, it's my fault."

Without further talking, Du Yun knelt down and patiently explained to Liu Xi what kind of wild vegetables are the most beautiful in porridge.The two talked, laughed, and played around until the sun was setting, and then they packed up their hoes and walked back with a small basket of old and pitiful wild vegetable leaves picked up by others at the end of spring.

Before going down the mountain, I met Xiao Si from Qian Mingli's family with a post to invite Du Yun and Liu Xun to the painting boat on Qingyun Lake to enjoy the moon with wine.

Du Yun accepted the post and asked Xiao Si to send the belongings of the two of them to Zhu San's house in Qiaotou Village, and dragged Liu Xun to the banquet happily.

During the banquet, a group of people played drums to pass flowers on the mountains, rivers and moonlit nights, remnants of lotus and leaves, sang poems praising the moon through the ages, and drank wine to the fullest.Zhuo Sijun's long-cherished wish was tasted, and he couldn't help being overjoyed.Taking advantage of his alcoholism, he boldly asked Du Yun for a picture of his calligraphy. Du Yun looked at Liu Xi, who was tired and drunk from playing beside him, sleeping soundly on the desk, and smiled. Laughing, only saying that he had already closed his pen, Zhuo Sijun bemoaned his disappointment.

Du Yun hadn't indulged in drinking like this for a long time, but when he woke up the next day, he had a splitting headache and couldn't get up in bed. In the end, the daughter-in-law of Zhu San's family came to bring him wild vegetables, cooked a bowl of porridge for him, and took care of him for a day .

Another day later, when Liu Xi carried a jar of 12-year-old sorghum to Yiweilu, Du Yun was sitting cross-legged on a big Zen chair and playing chess with the village children.

Liu Xi got off his horse and put the wine jar under the old locust tree. Seeing that the chair he usually sat on was pressed by the child's buttocks, he pulled out a top chair from an unknown corner, opened it and sat down in front of the table, resting his head on his hands. Watch Du Yun tease the children.

The two were holding black and white stones in a serious manner but they were playing backgammon.On a porcelain plate next to the chessboard, there are grains of fried peanuts wrapped in sugar.The two played five games, and Du Yun pinched a peanut and put it in the child's mouth. The child won the game by luck, and Du Yun pinched another peanut and gave it away.

Liu Xi was bored watching from the sidelines, so he just rolled up his sleeves, no matter what kind of gentleman he is, he put one hand on the child's back, put it next to his ear and pointed out the mountains and rivers.

Du Yun looked up at him twice, then let him go.

With Liu Xi's troubles, a plate of peanuts was quickly finished.The child was reluctant to leave, and was eagerly waiting for Du Yun to take out a plate from the house.

Du Yun straightened up her official airs again, admonished him with a pretentious appearance, and sent him away after eating too much and getting rotten teeth.

As soon as the child left, Liu Xi occupied his chair again and helped Du Yun pick up the chess pieces on the chessboard. Thinking of the business, he smiled, "I brought you a jar of good wine, 12 years of sorghum brewing, my father buried a lot of it." Years, baby, no, I dug it out secretly."

Thinking of the night of painting and drinking, he smiled brightly, "I only know that you like to make some weird teas, but I didn't expect you to be addicted to alcohol."

Du Yun lazily covered the chess dowry, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Du Kang and I are still in the same family, so naturally we should be closer."

Liu Zi curled his lips, "I didn't see you drinking before, didn't you just drink it by yourself after I left?"

Du Yun raised her eyebrows, then shook her head, "No, no, drinking is easy to cause trouble. I really haven't drank for a long time. Ziyi is young and energetic, and he can't hold back his temper at ordinary times. Let's drink less in the future."

Liu Xi smiled, "What can you miss if you are loose with Hengmen now, just rest assured and drink."

Du Yun turned her head, looked at the jar of old wine, and was silent for a moment, "Forget it, I will dig a hole later and bury it under the tree."

"Don't drink? I plan to ask you for a drink."

Du Yun shook her head, "Keep it for now, Zhang's family at the head of the village, Zhang Zhixi, Zhu's daughter Yugui, I have a lot of wine recently, so I'm not in a hurry. If you want to ask for a drink, just follow me to drink the wedding wine , the sixteen-year-old Daughter Hong is not a good wine!"

Liu Xi leaned forward suddenly, leaned close to Du Yun's nose unpreparedly, and stared at him without moving.

Du Yun's heart trembled, and it took a lot of effort to keep herself still. She pretended to be indifferent and stared back, "What are you doing?"

"You have a bad complexion," Liu Xi squinted his eyes and looked carefully, "It seems that you drank a lot last time."

Sit back on the chair, still staring at the person opposite, "Mr., it's better to drink less alcohol these two days, and do everything in moderation."

Du Yun laughed, he was almost used to being educated by children lately.

Du Yun still didn't open the altar of wine. He dug a big hole under the old locust tree and buried it.

As soon as the day entered midwinter, the temperature took a sharp turn for the worse, but within three to five days, it was so cold that people didn't want to go out.

When Meng Qiu lost with Du Yunbo, he promised to plant two apricot trees for him. Liu Xi searched Fengxiang Mansion for a long time before he found two that he liked.

Liu Xi chose a day when the sky was clear and the sun was shining, and he took two saplings on his horse and went to Yiweilu.

Du Yun was wearing a crow green cloak and was about to go out.

"Come to plant trees for me? But tell me to wait." Seeing the things on the horse, Du Yun was happy.

It was rare for Liu Zi to see him not coiled on the Zen chair, so he was surprised, "Going out?"

"En." Du Yun nodded, "The daughter of the Zhu family invited me to have a wedding wine when she went out. Ziyi will go with me to rejoice?"

Liu Xi shook his head, jumped off the horse, he was not invited when they went out, he didn't want to go to the wedding for nothing because of his relatives.

"You went to the wedding banquet empty-handed?"

Du Yun stopped, seemingly distressed, "Why don't I dig out the wine and take it with me?"

Liu Zi glared, "How dare you!"

"Hahahahaha... Don't worry, I naturally prepared a small gift." He patted the bag on his belt.

Liu Xi nodded, and took off from the jade belt hook the beautiful jade pendant of the boy holding lotus that he was wearing, and handed it to Du Yun, "Go, help me bring this to Mrs. Zhu's family, it's my heart."

Du Yun didn't force her, pushed the chaimen open, took the jade pendant and put it in her arms, "Whatever you want. The apricot saplings are planted outside the yard, pay attention to the distance, don't grow up and poke the grape trellis. I made a pot of bamboo leaf tea , in the house, if you feel cold after work, you can go in and have a cup of tea to warm you up. The ceremonial guards to welcome the relatives will come at dusk, so I'm afraid I'll have to stay until late, so go back first after you're done."

Du Yun explained, and finally smiled and asked Liu Xi, "I really don't want to go, my 16-year-old daughter, Hong?"

"No, go drink your daughter Hong!" Liu Xi was impatient and pushed him outside.

Du Yun was chased by him, and walked out unhurriedly, "Forget it, if Ziyi wants to drink in the future, he can marry a relative. Mr. Liu is going to marry, how many years has his daughter Hong? Don't forget to invite me to drink a couple of cups too, sir, hahahahaha..."

Liu Xi's face darkened, and he chased him away even harder, "Before the wine enters my stomach, I started talking nonsense!"

Du Yun smiled wryly in her heart, am I talking nonsense?I'm afraid that within two years, the Liu family will make arrangements for your marriage...

He waved his hand and didn't turn his head back.
