Chapter 48: Talking Drunk Before Drinking
Early the next morning, Sang Pu and Fengshou had indeed packed the gifts.
It was still some time before the Dragon Boat Festival, and Xiao Pei and Huan Yu didn't want anyone to notice anything, so just like a young couple visiting relatives, they took their servants and a few maids and took a carriage to Wuwei County.
Unexpectedly, not long after their carriage drove out of the side door, several familiar carriages came towards them.
Fengshou reluctantly pulled the horse's rein, and the carriage slowly stopped.
He turned around and replied: "Master, Princess, this is the carriage from the Bai Mansion."
Huan Yu lifted up the carriage curtain and saw that his cousin Bai Yanzhen and his concubine Bai Yanli had got off the carriage and were walking towards them.
"I've met my second cousin and my second cousin-in-law." The two of them clasped their fists and saluted.
Xiao Bi reached out to take the car curtain, and Huan Yu returned the courtesy: "Where are these two cousins from?"
Bai Yanzhen said: "Grandma cherished her and said that there were more scholars in the county government's mansion than students, so she asked us brothers to come and study together."
Huan Yu just said a few polite words to them to save face, and was not the least bit interested in their whereabouts.
He simply hummed: "Then you must work hard and don't let your grandmother down."
"Yes, thank you cousin for the tip." The Bai brothers saluted again.
Xiao Bi was about to put down the car curtain, but Bai Yanzhen said again: "Where are you going, second cousin?"
Huan Yu said helplessly: "Your second cousin-in-law and I plan to go to Wuwei County to visit my grandfather and grandmother."
Seeing his impatient expression, Bai Yanli quickly tugged on Bai Yanzhen's sleeves.
Bai Yanzhen swallowed: "Then I won't delay my cousin and sister-in-law."
Xiao Bi swung down the carriage curtain, Fengshou waved his whip, and the carriage started running quickly and steadily.
Bai Yanzhen shook off his brother's hand: "What are you doing?"
Bai Yanli said timidly: "Brother, I think my second cousin seems to be in a hurry..."
Bai Yanzhen slapped him on the forehead with a folding fan: "You know nothing!"
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and returned to his carriage.
Bai Yanli curled his lips secretly.
You are the one who knows nothing!
Dare to swallow your saliva in front of Princess Yiyang, you are really tired of life!
The carriage ran a few dozen feet, and Xiao Bi burst into laughter.
"Brother Huan, which of your two cousins is the father of your aunt?"
Huan Yu also smiled and said: "The two of them are not like me and Aji. They are several years apart in age. How can they hug each other wrongly?"
"Bai Yanzhen has a drunken look on his face at a young age. His grandmother actually asked him to come to our house to study. It's really ridiculous!"
"You haven't seen what he looked like before, but he's pretty good now."
Xiao Bi sneered and said: "Fortunately we left today, otherwise he would have broken his legs and arms sooner or later."
She thought that Xiao Jiuye had been in the capital for more than ten years, but no one had ever dared to swallow in front of her.
If this guy dared to offend her again, she would have to teach him a lesson on behalf of Aunt Huan.
Huan Yu had already put this matter down and said, "Fortunately, my father was persuaded by my grandfather, otherwise it would be really difficult for us to let go during this trip."
Xiao Bi knew that he was referring to going to Liuyun Kingdom.
After picking the fruits of Yirenxiao during the Dragon Boat Festival, they must seize the time to go to Liuyun Kingdom.
If time is wasted, rescuing people will have to wait until next year, during which time other changes may occur.
She nodded and said: "No matter what, we must be more careful when going to Liuyun Country this time, and we must fight quickly.
If everything goes well, we can come back in mid-June at most."
Huan Yu held her hand: "Don't worry, everything has been arranged properly, but in the remaining time, you must learn Liuyun dialect."
Xiao Bi tilted her head and leaned on his shoulder.
God knows how much she hates learning other languages.
In the past, when I was learning Beirong dialect, because there were many people learning it together, everyone was competing for it, and even the boring homework became extra interesting.
She and Brother Xiao Wu were both very strong since childhood, so they learned well and quickly.
Now she is the only one left, so she is like a ghost!
Huan Yu peeled a peanut and stuffed it into her mouth: "If you find it boring, we can learn together.
You teach me Beirong dialect, I'll teach you Liuyun dialect, let's see who learns it first."
Xiao Bi was indeed interested.
She chewed the peanuts in her mouth and said, "Then we have to discuss the lottery first. If I win, what will you give me?"
Huan Yu smiled and said: "Now you are much richer than me, can you appreciate my things?"
Xiao Bi stroked her chin: "Well... this is not a matter of money. Now we are all a family, and your things are mine, right?"
"Then..." Huan Yu thought for a while, then leaned into her ear and said a few words like this.
Xiao Bi pushed him away: "You started talking drunkenly before you even drank. How dare you take advantage of Master Jiu?"
Why would he let her kiss him if he lost, and let him kiss her if she lost? What a dream!
There was a lot of fighting and fussing along the way, but it didn't affect the speed of travel.
Five days later, the group arrived in Wuwei County.
Luo Feng had returned to his post early in the morning, and the general's mansion was still as deserted as ever.
Fortunately, General Luo was also in the house this time, and Mrs. Luo didn't look lonely like last time.
The two of them knelt down and bowed to their elders.
Mrs. Luo had bad eyesight, so she quickly asked the woman beside her to help them up.
However, Huan Yu and Xiao Bi insisted on kowtowing to their elders three times.
General Luo noticed something was wrong and waved his hand to signal the people to leave.
The maids and women quickly disappeared without a trace.
"Master, what's going on?" Mrs. Luo asked hurriedly.
Huan Yu took a few steps forward and held his grandmother's thin hand: "Grandma, Xiaojiu and I thank you for your kindness."
Mrs. Luo's expression changed drastically: "Brother Yu, you...you know everything?"
After all, General Luo has been on the battlefield for a long time and appears to be much more stable.
"Brother Yu, did the old prince tell you these things?"
Huan Yu said: "Yun Ling suddenly appeared in Longxi County, and my grandfather had no choice but to tell me and Xiaojiu the truth."
Mrs. Luo's tears couldn't stop flowing down.
Old General Luo scolded: "You old woman, do you still want to shed tears like this?"
Xiao Bi quickly took out the silk handkerchief and stepped forward to wipe away Mrs. Luo's tears.
Mrs. Luo choked up with great grievance: "You old man yelled at me again. I don't have two daughters anymore. Why do you need these eyes?"
Huan Yu persuaded softly: "There are still us, don't you want to see your grandson and grandson's wife? In the future, we will give you great-grandsons and great-granddaughters."
My uncle hasn’t gotten married yet, don’t you want to see your beautiful little aunt with your own eyes?”
Mrs. Luo bit her lower lip hard and finally stopped crying.
"Brother Yu, Xiaojiu, my eyes were cured by your mother back then. Not only can I see people clearly, but I can also occasionally do needlework.
