Chapter 48: Secret Fragrance
Li Ji's decision not to kill Xun Mei was not just due to system reasons.
There is another fatal factor: Xunmei looks very special.
Xun Mei thanked Li Ji, got up and went to prepare lunch.
A scent of a young girl's body floated into his heart.
The body odor was exactly like that of Liu Xiu from Pingyuan County, and Li Ji's heart was immediately moved.
And Xun Mei's figure is simply unique among women.
She had a slender waist, thin shoulders, and beautiful eyes and eyebrows. Looking at that waist, Li Ji was amazed.
The waist is as graceful and exquisite as a snake with three curves; the beauty has no shoulders, round and smooth like jade.
Li Ji was stunned watching from behind. If he hadn't taken the Hercules pill, he would have fainted by now.
Just as he was feeling sentimental, a voice like the chirping of an oriole was heard.
"Master Li, the food is ready."
When Li Ji looked, Xun Mei was already standing beside him and calling him softly.
He woke up as if from a dream, yawned, and said slowly:
"Okay, let's go."
Xun Mei immediately stepped forward and held Li Ji's left arm, saying softly:
"My lord, you have been too tired these days. After dinner, take a rest."
When Li Ji heard this, he felt as if he had just drunk a mouthful of honey, and said with a smile:
"Nothing, just my shoulders are a little sore."
Xun Mei understood and said:
"Well, I've learned massage for a few days, I'll give you a massage after dinner."
Li Ji and Xun Mei chatted for a while and then came to the outer room.
There are several special side dishes on the bronze eight-immortals table.
A pot of black chicken soup and a pot of pig's trotter stewed with Northeastern ginseng.
A bottle of osmanthus wine with the fragrance of osmanthus made Li Ji feel refreshed and his drinking mood started to improve.
Yu Cheng saw that the food had been served, and saw Xun Mei filling Li Ji's glass with the osmanthus wine she had brewed.
He slowly stepped back, lowered his brows and said, "My lord, my lady, please enjoy your meal."
Li Ji glanced at Yucheng.
Yu Cheng closed the door and retreated.
When he arrived at the gate of the poetry club, he whispered to the guard:
"Lord Li has ordered that no one is allowed to disturb us."
The guards on duty, Qin Chun and Li Wei, responded hurriedly:
"Yes, sir!"
"I understand!"
Li Ji suddenly felt like drinking and drank as fluently as flowing water.
A bottle of osmanthus wine was empty in half an hour.
Xun Mei saw that Li Ji was in high spirits, so she ordered:
"Chunhong, go get another bottle. Let Lord Li enjoy it."
Perhaps Li Ji was used to drinking strong liquor before traveling through time, so he drank this low-alcohol liquor like water.
Soon, the three bottles of osmanthus wine were finished.
Li Ji gradually became a little drunk. He took the bowl of ginseng soup handed to him by the lady and asked :
"Miss, this wine is very good. I wonder if it has any aftereffect?"
Xun Mei covered her mouth and smiled, "I usually don't drink much, I just drink to entertain myself when I recite poetry."
A blush suddenly appeared on her face, and she continued in a low voice:
"Is this wine not to your taste?"
Li Ji said hurriedly: "Although the taste is very light, the sweetness enters the throat and the lingering sound is wonderful."
"In a few days, I'll let you taste the 'Montignon-Sorghum Red' that I brewed myself."
Xun Mei said hurriedly: "Sir, this name is quite poetic. Is that white wine?"
Li Ji said: "Yes, the alcohol content of the wine is a bit high."
Xun Mei smiled sweetly, "Sir, as long as you like it, I will definitely like it."
Li Ji thought to himself, this young lady is really considerate. She can adapt to everything I like and she is really good at talking.
Li Ji took the mouthwash handed to him by the maid Chunhong, took a sip, and spit into the spittoon.
Xun Mei brought a cup of fragrant tea and handed it to Li Ji with both hands.
"Miss, I'll clean up here. You can accompany Master Li to the inner room to read a book."
Xun Mei bowed knowingly, "Master Li, let's go. I have a lot of books worth reading."
Li Ji, taking advantage of his drunkenness, tapped lightly on the back of Xun Mei's hand.
"Miss, this is a book worth reading."
Xun Mei smiled, and her cheeks turned red.
Chunhong pushed open the door of the inner room and gently pulled the curtains together.
A ray of afterglow from the setting sun shone through the gauze, filling the room with golden light.
Li Ji was sitting at his desk, flipping through a copy of The Book of Songs.
Xun Mei lit a stick of incense, and a faint fragrance filled the room.
The maid brought a basin of warm water, smiled at the young lady, and left with a blushing face.
Xun Mei took off her coat as usual, but the thin silk coat could not hide the towering mountains.
Li Ji suddenly felt a body fragrance approaching, and Xun Mei whispered:
"Master Li, would you like me to give you a shoulder massage?"
Li Ji stretched his body backwards and said, "Let's see how the young lady does it."
Xun Mei's pair of boneless hands gently kneaded Li Ji's shoulders.
In half an hour, the young lady had already practiced various techniques of "gently pluck, slowly twist, wipe and pick" in a cycle.
Li Ji was very surprised. The young lady's massage skills were not acquired in a day, which showed that she practiced often.
Li Ji took a moment to notice the "Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine" and the "Su Wen" on the bookshelf. It seemed that the young lady was a reader of all books.
The maid Chunhong was busy .
When she was about to sit down and drink some water.
The light in the room suddenly dimmed.
"My Lord, ah..."
She was just about to get up to see what was going on when she heard a young lady's soft, trembling voice.
Chunhong felt very happy and thought, now the young lady has someone to rely on for her whole life.
Hello miss, I’m Chunhong.
Chunhong muttered to herself, her face turned red, and she fell asleep on the chair.
When Yucheng arrived at the personal guard camp, his personal guards had already prepared the food and dishes.
He ordered loudly: "Go, bring the bottle of 'Meng Ti Xiang - Sorghum Red' that Lord Li gave me as a reward."
The personal bodyguard Yu Xiao took the order and left.
After a while, Yuxiao brought the wine and poured it for Yucheng.
Yu Cheng held the wine glass with a look of happiness on his face, thinking, "Master Li treats me well!"
He didn't drink such good wine himself, but gave it to his soldiers. He was a good commander.
Thinking of this, Yu Cheng poured a glass of wine and handed it to Yu Xiao.
"Xiao, you should try it too!"
The next afternoon.
Li Ji walked out of the Yongmei Poetry Society in high spirits.
As soon as he walked out of the door, the housekeeper Li Ai had been kneeling and waiting for a long time.
When he saw that Li Ji showed no sign of fatigue, he immediately found it incredible.
He is an experienced person and knows everything about love affairs between men and women.
However, people with the physique of my lord are rare.
Generally speaking, even a body of steel cannot withstand the force of a soft finger.
How could he know that Li Ji had already swallowed the system's prize, the Hercules Pill.
Li Ji did not show any sign of fatigue, but Miss Xun Mei had been lying in bed from that afternoon until now.
"Butler, what do you want to talk to me about?" Li Ji asked.
Li Ai hurriedly said, "Sir, General Zhang wants to see you."
Li Ji was stunned. "How fast , housekeeper, you are really capable."
"Have you made arrangements for his family?"
"My lord, don't worry, everything is arranged properly."
The master and servant walked around a small mountain and came to a high platform surrounded by mountains, water, lush forests and bamboos.
Behind the platform, there is a row of gray brick houses.
Li Ji walked into the main hall, where a table of food had been set up in the center.
Li Ji sat down on the couch nearby. Li Ai clapped his hands lightly, and with a creaking sound, the side door opened.
A man in his forties walked out slowly.
Li Ji was startled, his heart was in turmoil, and he hurriedly stood up to greet him...
