Wang Zhijing

It's His Majesty's youngest daughter, the Seventh Princess, who has come of age. Do you think it's gratifying or not? "

"Oh." The scholar suddenly realized, "The old man is celebrating His Majesty."

But the good-natured person clapped his hands and said, "Come on, old Guo, isn't it because your daughter is about to turn 15 years old, and you've made a good marriage, so you're so happy to invite everyone to drink!"

I see.Everyone burst into laughter immediately.Some said "That's what you should invite", some said "Call your daughter out and let everyone meet", some said "Bringing wine is too common, and when it's over, I will invite the neighbors to have a meal in a restaurant"...

The owner of the shop is shrewd in his business calculations, but he is also very popular, no matter whether he is acquainted or not, he will quarrel with him. No matter how impolite everyone is, the wine bowls on the table will be empty in an instant, and Boss Guo ordered his staff to fill up. , so that everyone "doesn't get drunk and doesn't return".

Don't get drunk?

Su Yun was pushed downstairs, so he also reached out to pick up a bowl of wine.The people in the Northern Territory are so generous that they let everyone drink the wine without charging a cent.

It is unimaginable and unreasonable for the people here and the affairs here to be placed in Qi State in Southern Xinjiang, or any other country that belongs to the country.

If it wasn't here, who would have believed that the imperial city could be so noisy, the princess ceremony could be so simple, the royal family banquet could be so irrespective of seniority, and the engagement contract could be so...

He raised his hand and poured the wine into his mouth, it was a rare bitter and spicy taste.

It's not that I've never drank strong alcohol, but it's rare in the world for such a drink to be so strong that it hurts the throat just after drinking it.

Oh, by the way, this is in the imperial capital!In the imperial capital of the Northern Territory, the people are rough and bold, so the wine will naturally be much stronger and more mellow than other places.

When the wine enters the throat and intestines, it feels more intense and punches the nose, and the stomach burns for a while, and the sour and astringent liquid comes up layer by layer.

This wine is really not good.

Putting down the empty bowl, he raised his hand to fetch another bowl of wine.Although it doesn't taste good, the strong and pungent smell has a special attraction, and I can't help but pick it up again as if possessed.

Still drinking it in one gulp, the stream of fire burned down the throat into the stomach and intestines, causing a burst of scorching heat, and the chest tightened.

After coughing, he picked up the third bowl.

The bitterness, spiciness, and strongness of the wine are not something that the southerners can bear, but at this moment, it echoes a certain emotion deep in the bottom of my heart.

After drinking the fourth bowl, Su Yun let out a breath, finally getting used to the concentration of the spirit.His alcohol capacity has always been good, although he rarely drinks indulgently, but few people can really get him drunk.

When the fifth bowl was picked up, there was a slight burn behind the ears, but it was still too early to get drunk.The aftertaste after the strong astringency is scattered between the lips and teeth. It turns out that the more you drink the wine, the thicker it is, the sweeter it is-it really is a good wine!

He drank it all in one go and couldn't stop dripping, and someone beside him cheered: "Outsider, you can drink a lot! This Zuihuailou liquor is said to be drunk in three cups, even if the men in the Northern Territory drink as fast as you do, they will fall down early. gone."

Su Yun smiled proudly at the man, "What does this matter, we have people who are not drunk after a thousand cups, don't underestimate them!"

"So you are from the Qi Kingdom." The man was pleasantly surprised, stopped him and asked, "I heard that your lord has also entered the capital? Is he the one who put up the lantern with the princess on the south tower today?"

"So what if it is, so what if it's not?" Su Yun drank several bowls of spirits in a row, a little tipsy, and asked the man with a smile.

"You come from the Qi Kingdom, so of course you don't know. In our imperial capital, things like setting off sky lanterns together are very particular. If it's an adult man or woman...hehe...the princess is going to give birth this year, your majesty hasten to summon your son-in-law Luo!"

After drinking another bowl of strong wine, Su Yun raised his hand, and a pile of empty bowls was piled up in front of the table, but there was no more wine to drink.He pushed away the noisy person and staggered slightly to the other end of the long table.

He stretched out his hand to hold the bowl, and suddenly his eyes dimmed, someone approached to block the light in front of him, and blocked his wrist.

Su Yun raised his head, the white-haired man in front of him, with a pleasant smile, was the old shopkeeper Guo who gave the wine.

"Young man," Boss Guo said with a chuckle, "tell the old man if you have something unhappy, such a drinking method will hurt your health."

unhappy?Who said he wasn't happy?

Su Yun withdrew his hand and smiled straight up: "Could it be that the boss is reluctant to part with your fine wine? Didn't he say 'If you don't get drunk, you won't return'? I only drank a few bowls, how could it hurt me?"

"Alcohol doesn't hurt people, people hurt themselves." Boss Guo smiled leisurely, took a bowl of wine and put it in front of Su Yun, "The old man knows that you drink well, so he is not reluctant, but he just hates you young people. Trapped by love, mediocrity."

Trapped by love... troubled by mediocrity...

What is this nonsense?

He can't understand.

But there was hot alcohol smell coming up, astringent and stagnant, which made my heart flustered for a while, I don't know why.

What does it feel like, and when did it start?

So strange, so strange, so...uncomfortable!

238 Dance

The night is deep.

Dazzling lanterns, music, drums and cheers, in this imperial capital, Huacheng, all night long.

Young men and women, shy or generous, swim hand in hand, and stop in front of the building.

Here, the crowd separates automatically, giving way to a dance called "Yuanyuan" for couples.

Several girls laughed and laughed at each other, looked towards a place downstairs, and finally pushed the bold one forward.

"Outsider, today is the Double Lantern Festival, may I invite you to dance a dance unique to the imperial capital?"

Shy and generous, the girl in red stretched out her hand to the handsome young man at the wine table.

Su Yun was stunned for a moment, but was pushed back by himself, Boss Guo smiled and said: "Go, let's dance away your worries. The women in our imperial capital dance well, and they are also very beautiful."

The girl who was praised had a flushed face, which was indeed bright and moving under the bright lights.

Such a beautiful girl, such a bold move.

Su Yunren was still in a daze, but the woman took both hands and dragged her into the dance floor without any explanation or rejection.

"Girl," he said awkwardly, "I...can't dance."

"If you don't know how to learn, I'll teach you."

The girl's eyes are bright, and her smile is warm and open.

The dance steps are really not difficult, it can be said that they can be learned almost instantly.The girl took the other's hand to make the reserved man move.

Her skirt was folded like snow and billowed like waves, forming a red shadow in front of his eyes.She danced and laughed, causing him, who was a little clumsy, to dance and spin, the figure in front of him was blurred, and the singing was fleeting.

He raised his face, letting the red skirt disappear before his eyes.But how can the picture that emerges in my mind be erased?

The young man put his arms around the slender waist under the red dress, he leaned over, and said something, which made the beautiful girl's face blush.

He likes her, doesn't he?

The peerless dance in the fire is many times more sublime than the girl who is good at dancing in front of her. The princess is proud like a flamingo, and her enthusiasm is as dazzling as a firework.

So beautiful, so good, who wouldn't like it?

Suddenly, even the lights on the high tower were a little dazzling. The sky was above, and the dark blue and dim color was thrown to the far end by today's boiling sea of ​​fire.

Su Yun covered his eyes.

Too glaring, the world's red.

Sure enough, he didn't like it here.

"you're drunk."

The girl in the dance suddenly stopped dancing, just because the footsteps of the man next to her were messy, as if she couldn't even stand still.

"You're drunk." She smiled and supported him, "Don't drink so much next time."

"I'm not drunk." The man grabbed her hand, "Come on, let's continue dancing."

He was indeed drunk, and the girl laughed.

If he wasn't so drunk, how could he have done such a frivolous act?He looks like a gentleman from the picturesque southern Xinjiang!

It is said that the man in the imperial capital is the most handsome in the world, but how can all the men she has ever met be as good as the man in front of her?Even the heroic and gentle First Prince would be compared to him.

Being held by hand, the woman jumped up again.

The fiery red skirt spun with the dance steps, circle after circle, layer after layer, making people dizzy, chest tight, and upset.

But he didn't want to stop, he didn't want to stop, if he stopped, it seemed that a more difficult feeling would come from somewhere.Just let the lively noise fill your ears and mind, that's good.

That's it.

The violent rotation caused a tumbling in the stomach, and the nausea and sour gas rushed to the throat.

"Hey," the dancing girl hurriedly stopped seeing his face, "do you want to vomit? You are said to be drunk."

"I'm fine." Suppressing the soreness in his stomach, he paused and let out a rough breath.

What happened to yourself?

Apologetically, he let go of the girl's hand, "Girl, I'm so sorry."

"What's the matter?" The girl's smile was as bright as a lamp, "Are you okay?"

Just as he was about to answer, another wave of nausea surged into his throat. He couldn't suppress it, and hurriedly backed away, leaning over to vomit it out.

"Are you all right?" The girl chased after him, and she didn't mind the filth on the ground, she walked to his side and reached out to pat his back.

Stomach tumbling but still could not be suppressed, and continued to vomit again.

The girl's hand gently patted his back, Su Yun leaned on the wall and bent over, raised his sleeve to wipe his lips, extremely embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's okay." The girl's caring and gentle voice rang in her ears, "It will feel better after you spit it out, that's what happens when you're drunk."

The voice was gentle, soothing the embarrassing emotions.Su Yun felt a little relieved. After vomiting, she didn't feel so uncomfortable, but her chest was still extremely stuffy.

Supporting the wall with your hands, slowly inhale and exhale.

It can't go on like this, he told himself, he shouldn't, he shouldn't.

The gentle pats on the back continued, one after another.So gentle and considerate, let the chaotic heart slowly calm down.

Breathing gradually stabilized, and the feeling of comfort and stability came from the vest from the slaps again and again. Su Yun felt grateful and even more apologetic.

Turning around, "Girl, thank you...
