Chapter 33: Year (2)
"...When I entered the house, I looked to my left and saw two pairs of mandarin ducks; there were seventy-two mandarin ducks, arranged in a row. What was the sound? The cranes were crowing in the east and west compartments. The big woman was weaving qiluo, and the middle woman was weaving yellow; the young woman was doing nothing, holding a harp Go up to the high hall. My father-in-law, please sit down and wait until the silk is adjusted."
"It's funny, it's funny... Bang!" Huang Li drunkenly hummed a little tune, then fell drunk on the table, and soon began to snore.
Five or six younger brothers were already lying on the ground in a state of confusion, still holding wine bottles in their hands.
As we had agreed not to use our vitality to force out the smell of alcohol, when the banquet was approaching, I was quite drunk.
Glancing at Zixuan, who had a slightly red face, and the wet ground next to him, Shen Zhui joked, "My little brother has a good capacity for drinking."
The young man looked around Shen Zhui angrily, and found that the other person was not cheating, and suddenly felt a little worried on his face.
"Hmph, I don't believe you are so good at drinking. You must have secretly used some other method to cheat."
Shen Zhui smiled dumbly and shook his head.
"Dang~" The drunken boy seemed to be irritated, he picked up a large jar of plum wine and placed it heavily on the table.
He looked at Shen Zhui provocatively and said, "My lord, if you don't believe me, I can't drink you. Next, none of us are allowed to be naughty. Do you dare?"
"Are you afraid?" Shen Zhui raised his eyebrows.
The young man glanced around, stood up, and collected all the remaining wine jars.
"It's too noisy here, let's go out and drink."
After that, without waiting for Shen Zhui's agreement, he walked out of the room.
Shen Zhui brought out a pair of large wine glasses and followed Zixuan to the roof. The moonlight shone on the young man's face, making it look particularly white.
Zixuan didn't even look at the wine glasses handed over by Shen Zhui. He first took out two jars from the storage space, opened the mouth of the jars, handed one jar to Shen Zhui, and said, "One jar first! How about it, don't you dare? dare?"
Shen Zhui took the wine jar and smiled softly. He silently poured half of the jar into the wine glass, then slowly sipped it while staring at the night sky.
Zixuan directly hugged the wine jar, raised his neck, and wiped out half of them. The young man who had never held the wine jar and drank like this felt an unexpected novelty.
He raised his head again and drank most of the jar of wine. He looked at Shen Zhui and took a few sips. It was only half a cup at best. He couldn't help but smile in victory.
"Forget it, don't say I bully you, drink slowly, I can wait, don't worry!" Zixuanhao said angrily. Then he raised his head, and then raised his head again, and the first jar of wine was gone. Already.
Shen Zhui raised his eyebrows and was inspired by the young man. He drank the wine in one gulp, then put it aside, picked up the jar and drank heavily.
"That makes sense." Zixuan showed a smile, then waved his hand, and a row of wine jars appeared in front of the two of them.
The two of them drank freely from one jar to the other, and it seemed that they would not stop until they knocked each other down.
"Hiccup~~" The young man who drank until the seventh cup, who was always one cup ahead of Shen Zhui, suddenly let out a long and unsightly wine burp.
Shen Zhui laughed loudly, and the young man rolled his eyes at him in annoyance, then seemed to remember something and started laughing too.
The two of them slowed down in unison, and no one mentioned the drinking issue again.
Shen Zhui looked at the bright moon in the sky and suddenly thought of his adoptive father, Shen Shan, and couldn't help but sigh melancholy.
When he turned around, he found that the young man had also stopped drinking. He was holding his chin in his hands, his eyes were confused, and he seemed to be even more sad than him.
"Why are you sighing too?" Shen Zhui thought that this young man's situation would not be more unlucky than his own, so he smiled.
"This is the first time I have traveled so far away alone, and I haven't celebrated the New Year at home." Zixuan sighed.
"Don't the elders in your family know that you entered the slave camp?"
"they do not know."
"Then how did you get in?" Shen Zhui asked. This was something he had always wondered. There was no sin on this young man, so how did he get here? You know, even if you offend someone, you can't just come to this camp. Come.
"My master's hands and eyes are as wide as the sky. It's just a camp for slaves. Why don't you just come and leave when you want?"
"Haha, little brother is really good at joking." Shen Zhui grinned.
"You don't believe it?" The young man immediately stared at Shen Zhui fiercely.
"Okay, I'll send you the letter." Shen Zhui was helpless.
"My family members were too domineering, out of sight and out of mind, so they ran away."
"for example?"
"For example, they forced me...my sister to marry someone I didn't like. They made the marriage arrangement without asking my sister's opinion."
Shen Zhui thought for a while and said with a smile: "Men should get married when they are young, and women should get married when they are young. Isn't that the way it is in this world? Is your sister's fiancé very ugly?"
"That's not so bad. He can even be called handsome."
"Is that because the family is poor?"
Zixuan said angrily: "Do you think someone from a poor family can come to our house to marry?"
Shen Zhui nodded: "But if you don't want to make progress, your cultivation is mediocre?"
"He has been called a genius since he was a child!"
"If that's the case, then there's something wrong with your character."
"A bit." The young man thought for a moment, then nodded. "But it's not the main thing."
"what is that?"
"My sister doesn't like him." Zixuan gave Shen Zhui a strange look. "No matter how good a person is, if you don't like him, would you still be willing to be with him?"
Shen Zhui gave a thumbs up: "What your sister said makes sense. Come on, pay homage to your sister."
Zixuan chuckled and was amused by the funny look of Shen Zhui holding the jar. He felt that Shen Zhui was quite to his liking.
"Shen Zhui, what kind of person do you like?"
"I don't have anyone I like yet."
"Then, you should have thought about her appearance, right?"
"I've thought about it!"
"what does it look like?"
"Beautiful face, big breasts, big butt! It's better to be wealthy!"
"Bah, vulgar!"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
There were only the last three wine jars left in the row. Zixuan put two of them in front of him and looked at Shen Zhui proudly: "I won, one jar more than you!"
"Can it still be calculated like this?" Shen Zhui couldn't laugh or cry. "Okay, let's count you as the winner."
Zixuan said: "Since you lost in the drinking contest, you have to listen to my disposal."
Shen Zhui smiled softly: "Tell me and listen."
"Can you sing a tune?"
"You mean like Lao Huang humming?"
"That's about right."
Shen Zhui thought for a moment, put down the wine jar, and started singing in a low voice.
