Chapter 108: Mistake upon mistake, you finish your performance and I take the stage
Lai Da picked a crack in the red seal on the wine jar and threw a brown pill in. After thinking for a while, he added three more pills.
After tightening the red seal and shaking it vigorously a few times, Lai Da called in a servant and ordered, "Send the wine over and tell him that the Second Master will not be back for a while. Please ask Lord Sun to taste this 'aged wine' first."
The boy took the order and left with the jar of wine.
Lai Zhang was a little nervous. She grabbed Lai Da's arm and said in a trembling voice, "Master, this... this won't go wrong, right?"
"What are you afraid of?"
Lai Da sneered, "If something goes wrong, it will be Second Madam Lian who will be in trouble. When Wu Liu comes back, let him hide in the farm for a few days. Then he will definitely not be able to find out about us!"
Let’s not talk about the Lai couple.
The servant Wu Liu, holding the wine jar, came to the door of the flower hall, took a deep breath, and was about to rush in, but someone suddenly stretched out his arm to stop him and asked with a smile: "Are you delivering this wine to the people inside?"
As he was speaking, a baby-faced girl with a crimson velvet hairpin on her head appeared in front of Wu Liu with a smile on her face.
"Bao... Master Bao?!"
Wu Liu was so shocked that his hands trembled and the wedding wine fell down.
Fortunately, Jia Baoyu was quick-witted and quickly reached out to hold her in his arms, saying with a smile, "Look at your courage. Let me help you carry the jar of wine in."
Having said that, without waiting for Wu Liu's response, he strode towards the flower hall.
"Master Bao, Master Bao! That wine...that wine is for Lord Sun to drink, that wine..." Wu Liu shouted twice after him, and when he saw that Baoyu had already entered the flower hall, he stamped his feet in a hurry and ran back to report the news.
Sun Shaozong was hesitating in the room when he heard someone talking outside. He quickly put the love poem in his sleeve, and looked outside. He saw Jia Baoyu rushing in excitedly with a jar of wine.
"Second brother, you really missed me after not seeing me for so long!"
As Baoyu spoke, he placed the jar of wine on the table, tore open the red seal, and gulped down two large bowls of it, saying with a smile, "I was unlucky to be ill when Second Brother came last time. This time, Second Brother, you must accompany me to have a few drinks to make up for what we did that day!"
"Brother Bao, I'm afraid you're not thinking about me, but the case in my mind, right?"
Sun Shaozong laughed, took the wine bowl from Baoyu, and said, "But I have been busy with the Autumn Examination all day long recently, and I don't have time to investigate the case."
"Autumn Examination?"
Baoyu's eyes widened, and he asked curiously, "Isn't that a 'business' for civil servants? When will it be the turn of a warrior like my brother to make a fortune?"
Whenever Baoyu mentioned studying hard, he couldn't help but make some slanderous remarks. Fortunately, Sun Shaozong was not a scholar either, so when he heard him describe the Autumn Examination as a "profitable business", he just laughed.
"He's not a proper examiner, but an inspector who is in charge of the order of the examination room." Sun Shaozong said with a smile, "I went to the Imperial Examination Hall a few days ago, and then I understood why Brother Bao didn't like the imperial examination - the examination room is really not a place for people to stay."
As he spoke, he pinched his hands and compared it to the thickness of a bucket: "There was actually such a big hornet's nest in there . The hornets chased me and I fled in a panic. They also stung my subordinate Zhou Jianxiao's head. I couldn't go to the government office for several days!"
Baoyu found what he said interesting and laughed so hard that he slapped his thigh.
“Second brother!”
Then he picked up the wine bowl and said jokingly, "Come on, let's have a drink for the wasps in the Imperial Examination Hall and wish them great fortune in the autumn examination!"
As he said this, he tilted his head back and drank.
Phew~
But the next moment, he spat it onto the ground again, saying "Puh, puh, puh": "What kind of wine is this? It tastes weird!"
Sun Shaozong laughed: "You brought the wine yourself, why are you asking me about it? Besides, it's normal that you can't taste the taste of good wine at your young age."
As he said that, he also raised his head and drank the bowl of wine, but found that the taste was indeed a bit strange.
If there were no one else around, Sun Shaozong would have vomited as well.
I just made fun of Baoyu for not knowing how to appreciate good wine, so how could I lose my composure in front of him?
So I had to force myself to swallow it.
Oddly enough, the wine tastes strange in the mouth, but once it enters the stomach it turns into warm currents that warm my internal organs and feel very comfortable.
Sun Shaozong poured himself another bowl, then pushed the jar of wine towards Baoyu and advised, "This wine is really good, why don't you try it again?"
"Forget it. I really can't get used to this good wine. I'd rather drink some inferior wine."
Baoyu declined the offer and bent over to get another glass of wine.
The two of them chatted and laughed for a while, and Baoyu couldn't help but bring up Lin Daiyu. He put his hand on his chin and pouted half-seriously, saying, "Since Sister Rong got pregnant and couldn't come and see her often, Sister Lin has been unhappy. It seems that I, her cousin, am not as close to her as her sister ."
In the past, Sun Shaozong could not stand his effeminate appearance.
But today, for some reason, I didn’t think it was strange at all, and even felt that it was a little... cute.
cute?!
Sun Shaozong was shocked, thinking to himself, is there something wrong with his brain? Otherwise, why would he use the word "cute" to describe a boy? !
With this shock, he suddenly realized that the thing under his robe had become "full of rage" without him knowing it!
this……
This seems to be unable to be explained by the word "confused".
Could it be that Jia Baoyu did something to the wine? !
When thinking of this possibility, Sun Shaozong was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. It was fine that he was favored by the pretty widow, but how could even a double-headed man like Jia Baoyu want to hit on him? !
"Brother Bao, what do you mean?!"
He suddenly jumped up, gritting his teeth and glaring, ready to grab Baoyu and interrogate him.
Baoyu was startled, but he said with a look of grievance: "Brother, what's wrong? I was just joking, I'm not really jealous of Sister Rong."
This expression...
Doesn't it look like he's pretending?
Could it be that he didn't do it? !
Anyway, no matter what, he could not stay in this flower hall any longer, otherwise Sun Shaozong's good reputation for both lifetimes would be ruined!
"Brother Bao, I...I'm in a hurry, so I need to go to the bathroom first."
Sun Shaozong made up an excuse and staggered out of the hall in a hurry.
I thought the autumn wind would help me think more clearly.
But after walking a few steps against the wind, he felt the alcohol rising up and his whole body became hotter and hotter. He stumbled a few more steps and wished he could tear off his clothes and run around naked.
Just as I was rushing around in a daze, I suddenly bumped into someone!
“Ah~!”
He only heard a woman's cry, and before he could even see what the person looked like, Sun Shaozong completely lost the last bit of his rationality and took her into his arms without thinking...
