I took a sip of wine and slowly tasted the taste.
In fact, when it comes to that person, to me and Pei Yuanhao, his emotions are complicated. Just like Pei Yuanhao, they are completely hostile, with you and no one, but after all, they have been brothers for decades, and even those years, when they were young, they were friends and respectful, and their inner feelings towards Pei Yuanxiu were also complicated.
But for Qinghan, there is not so much complexity. There is only simple hatred between him and Pei Yuanxiu.
I wish I could get rid of it quickly.
But at this time, even he fell silent.
There are always some things in the world that can be shared. Although you may not be able to empathize with it, drinking a pot of wine together will still make people intoxicated by the memories of the past.
He also drank the wine in his glass, sighed, and said, "The world ruthlessly urges time, what is the past and present? The plum blossoms are happy that the spring breeze is approaching, so drink it with a light and sit until the bright future."
Pei Yuanhao's eyes became a little confused when he heard this. While drinking wine, he murmured: "The world ruthlessly urges time... I drink with my light and sit until the light..."
After chanting a few words repeatedly, he chuckled again.
The flames in the stove were still licking the bottom of the basin, and the water inside was gurgling. The sound was light and orderly, giving people a feeling of almost soothing. As the aroma of the wine became stronger and stronger, everyone felt a little drunk.
Pei Yuanhao took another sip of wine, raised his head, and looked at the wine jar with complicated eyes.
The table we were sitting on was a table with four sides, and the three of us sat there was always empty. Now, the wine jar was placed there, although quiet, but gave people the illusion that there was a person sitting there, although quiet, but it gave people a feeling that it could not be ignored.
At this time, midnight has arrived.
The already very lively courtyard was even more jubilant at this time. The servants and girls were all laughing and making noises. Some people set off fireworks in the spacious courtyard. Bright fireworks bloomed in front of their eyes, and fire trees and silver flowers shone on this originally not lonely night like day.
Another year has passed.
In the past year, too many things have happened, which for each of us, is a drastic change. Now, midnight has come, and the old and new changes will happen in the next year, what changes will be waiting for us?
"The heaven and earth are ruthlessly urging the years..." Pei Yuanhao finally recited this poem, then slowly stood up and smiled: "Respect the heaven and earth, respect the years!"

That night, it seemed that each of us was drunk.
In the end, I didn’t even remember how I left the pavilion, nor did I remember what everyone said at the end. I just felt the fire trees and silver flowers in front of me echoing singing in my ears. In a trance, I seemed to have entered the stories my mother told me when she was a child.
In the story, there is no war or smoke. The years there are very slow, just like the stream flowing under the peach blossom trees, and it is also quiet. The people there have no worries, no pain, and only leisure and tranquility under the quiet years.
In my dream, I seemed to see such a situation.
Moreover, the oncoming wind seemed to be filled with the fragrance of flowers, and it sang warmly on my face, and I sighed comfortably.
There was also a gentle voice that blew into my ears with the wind: "You still have to sleep?"
“…”
“It’s time to wake up.”
“…”
"The sun is shining on my butt."
I listened to this sound... Qinghan?
I hurriedly opened my eyes and found that I was trapped in the quilt, or that I was sleeping with my mouth watering. Qinghan stood by the bed and leaned down to look at me. The sun was shining brightly, and it shone through the window, shining on his face.
I was stunned for a moment: "Hmm?"
He smiled and reached out and rubbed my already messy hair: "I finally woke up."
"What's going on?"
I couldn't remember what was happening, and my body was still a little soft. I slowly supported myself and sat up. It collapsed twice. He hurriedly reached out to support me, let me lean against the head of the bed, and then sat down to the edge of the bed, and smiled and said, "Look at you, I said I would go back to Chengdu today and sleep until now."
I came to my senses and looked at the sky outside: "When is it?"
"It's almost noon."
"ah……"
When I heard this, I immediately sighed in depression: "Why did you sleep so late? Why don't you call me?"
He was so amused and laughed: "I haven't called you yet? How many times did I call you? It's because you didn't wake up by yourself. As soon as I called you, you would get into the quilt. Why didn't you find that you had such a bad sleep before?"
I looked down and found that the bed was messy. I didn't know why I was tossing. I turned over a large piece of the sheets and the cups seemed to have been twisted.
I couldn't help laughing.
He stretched and yawned, saying, "I don't know what, I can't hear anything, I'm just dreaming."
Qinghan smiled and said, "You probably drank too much wine. You don't know how much you drank last night."
"Am I? and the Emperor?"
"Yes, that jar of wine was finally divided by you two."
“…”
"He hasn't even gotten up yet, and he's drinking more than you, so he's probably going to have a headache for two days."
Not to mention Pei Yuanhao, I felt a little painful in my head now. I reached out and rubbed it, then looked up at him: "What about you? Why are you not drunk?"
Qinghan smiled and said, "Three people, all three are drunk, what's wrong?"
“…”
"After I saw something wrong with you two, I didn't dare to drink it. Fortunately, otherwise he would have to walk into the river and you kept hanging on me again, really..."
My face was a little hot.
I haven't been drunk, but why is my wine so bad?
Fortunately, he is there.
I said, "Then we--"
"The people and the carriage are ready, and I have asked them to prepare some specialties here. Get up quickly, wash up and go on the road, and wait outside."
"Oh, OK!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! I jumped up from the bed, and the person was still a little unsteady. He smiled and shook his head, and helped me get out of the bed. Su Su and the others immediately came in to serve me to wash.
After changing into new clothes, Susu tied my belt and turned around and was about to leave. Susu suddenly said, "Miss, don't forget this."
Looking back, it was the sachet.
When I left Chengdu, Yan Qingchen asked me to put it in the car. I have never left these days. At this time, I took it, hung it on my belt, and then turned around and walked out.
It was getting late, so I just ate a little bit of food for lunch, so I quickly left the door. Sure enough, the convoy was already waiting at the door, and I didn't know how long I had been waiting for me. When I walked out, I was a little blushed unconsciously. At this moment, Pei Yuanhao also walked out from the side.
After the hangover, his face was not very good. He probably didn't sleep well, his eyes were covered in blood, and even when he walked over, he was still smelling alcohol.
Qinghan smiled: "Your Majesty, is that okay?"
Pei Yuanhao's face was a little stiff. After waking up, he was still a little embarrassed when he remembered his drunkenness last night. He became more reserved and nodded lightly. Qinghan didn't say much. His convoy was with us. After Qinghan gave a few instructions to his family and asked them to do things carefully, the two teams left here together.
After leaving Bishan and walking a little further, the road became flat.
After all, it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there were no pedestrians on the road. In addition, I wanted to rush to Chengdu to see Qingchen, so I asked the driver to rush on the road as soon as possible. It didn't matter if there was a little bump in the car. Qinghan kept holding me, and the two of them leaned on the car board.
From time to time, he lifted the curtains and looked at the scenery outside and said, "At this speed, we should be able to arrive tomorrow."
I said, "I hope it will be better if I get there."
He glanced outside and didn't say anything.
I said softly: "There have been too many things recently. Actually, I want to have a good talk with Qingchen. But I am worried about his body."
Qinghan thought for a while and said, "But the situation should be better next. As long as there is no problem at Sanjiangkou, Pei Yuanfeng is guarding Jianmen Pass, and Xichuan is as solid as a soup."
“…”
"Actually, he can breathe a sigh of relief."
"Yes," I whispered: "He is in poor health, and I don't want anything to disturb him anymore. After this big thing is over, he should really have a good rest."
As I was talking, my voice was a little hoarse: "After so many years, he has been guarding Xichuan alone. Outsiders see him as being arrogant and strategist. Actually, when I think about it now, he is so much younger than me, and I still remember that he was like that when I was a child..."
“…”
"He's not easier than me."
“…”
"How heavy is his thoughts."
Qinghan said softly: "No matter what, what he did is meaningful, and not only is it beneficial to Xichuan, but also to the entire Central Plains."
“…”
"No matter what, he's a good person."
I leaned into his arms and smiled softly.
Although the weather was good before, I hope the weather would always be good, but the weather did not meet the wish and it started to rain in the middle of the night that night.
The rain was drizzling, and the ground that had been dried two days ago was muddy. Our carriage had to slow down. It was originally scheduled to be able to arrive in Chengdu the next night, but it was not until the third morning that we entered Chengdu City.
After entering the city, it is much easier to walk on the road, but such rainy days extinguish people's joy and enthusiasm for the New Year. There are very few pedestrians on the road, and the few people who have passed by sporadically are mostly numb.
This atmosphere made my mood feel a little deeper.
Finally, we arrived at the Yan family's house.
At this time, the rain was even heavier, and the wind almost lifted the tart cloth on the roof of the carriage. After the carriage stopped, I got off the carriage. Susu hurriedly held an umbrella and raised it to my head. The wind was already pouring rain and drenched most of my body.
