Chapter Thirty-Six: Drunk
Time flies and it’s August.
The golden osmanthus is fragrant, the forest is dyed, and the entire Hou Mansion is full of joy, just waiting for the full moon of August 15th to have an auspicious and happy Reunion Festival.
In the old lady's room, she opened the clay wine jar from previous years. The next year's sweet-scented osmanthus wine had an alluring aroma and a little bit of honey gold color. Just looking at it made her mouth water.
Naturally, there were two jars of osmanthus wine in the second master's yard. However, the second master didn't like sweet wine, so the wine was placed in the corner of the room as if forgotten for fumigation.
Zhihua smelled the aroma of osmanthus wine all day long and was very greedy.
Since the second master didn't care much about this matter, she took a palm-sized white porcelain blue and white Yuanmei vase, scooped some out, and stole it to the penthouse to drink.
After using some, it was very good, so he gave some to Shi Jin with the idea that enjoying it alone is not as good as enjoying it with everyone.
"Try it," Zhihua said to Shi Jin with a mysterious look on his face.
Shi Jin only took a sniff and knew it was the osmanthus wine in the old lady's courtyard. He immediately wanted to refuse, "This is not okay. If the second master finds out, I'm afraid you and I will be punished."
She was used to being cautious and didn't want to make any mistakes in this kind of thing.
Zhi Hua, on the other hand, looked unconcerned, "You can drink it with peace of mind if I give it to you. I'll tell you the truth, this is the reward that Lian Xiang received. She specially gave me half the pot, but why did you push me so hard when I got here? Come on!"
Try it!”
When Shi Jin heard what she said, he couldn't refuse anymore, so he poured a glass and tasted it carefully.
Osmanthus wine is different from other fine wines. It is soft and long-lasting in the mouth, and has a sweet aroma, which is very popular among the ladies in the boudoir. Shi Jin only took a sip and remembered the good saying "I am afraid that the autumn wind and dew will make the whole world smell fragrant."
Come.
"How is it? It's not bad?" Seeing Shi Jin amused, Zhi Hua leaned over and asked her with a smile.
Shi Jin's eyes were also filled with smiles, and his eyebrows had a rare intoxicating red color, "It's really delicious."
"Then we can use more today. Sister Siqi said before she left that the second master is not going home tonight, so we don't have to stay up all night." Zhihua poured another glass diligently, not forgetting to fill it up for himself.
Shi Jin also felt completely relieved.
The two of us will have one cup for you and one for me, and we will slowly drink together.
Until they drank all the wine in the white porcelain blue and white Yuanmei bottle, the two of them were still not enjoying themselves. Zhihua volunteered to get the wine, leaving Shi Jin alone, drunk and confused.
Although the wine was mellow, it had a strong stamina. Double images appeared in circles in front of her eyes, and her whole body felt like the world was spinning.
She couldn't help but get up from the table and wanted to look for Zhihua, but as soon as she went out and walked into the courtyard, she lost her way without realizing it.
There were many rockeries in Qingfeng Courtyard, and Shi Jin felt that in the blink of an eye, there were rockeries everywhere. She wanted to run out, but her feet didn't obey her, and she wanted to open her eyes wide, but there was no light around her.
Even the candlelight in the ear room was gone.
She stumbled, and half of her skirt got caught on a protruding stone on the ground. Shi Jin was startled, and wanted to run away, but the hooked skirt stung, and she was taken out of a
Come to the cave.
"Zhi Hua! Where are you? I, I seem to have been caught by a monster..." Shi Jinxunxun shouted and walked forward in a daze. The skirt was also torn into strips of cloth and wrapped around the
The surrounding rockeries.
Another rockery blocked her eyes. She turned around and was about to avoid it when she heard a cold voice asking her, "What are you doing?"
Shi Jin turned his head and vaguely saw a tall figure wearing black clothes standing in the shadow not far away.
"Wow, I'm so happy, you've come to pick me up." Shi Jin's face was suddenly touched with a smile, and he ran towards the shadow. But the hem of the skirt was already torn in half, so if
If you run over, I'm afraid it will be pulled up to your waist.
Even though I was wearing long pants underneath, it was still too weird.
Qi Mojing felt her temples twitching, and her voice was filled with urgency, "Stand where you are, don't move!"
Shi Jin was very obedient and stopped, but the confusion and grievance on his face could easily be seen.
Qi Mojing frowned.
The girl in front of him opened her arms in aggrieved manner and looked at him with her moist eyes.
He couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, wondering which way he had taken a step.
As if he sensed that the person on the other side was coming, Shi Jin wanted to take a step forward again, but Qi Mojing could only quickly walk to her.
The maid in front of her smiled with her eyebrows crooked, she raised her head and raised her lips to look at him, "I knew you would come to save me, thank you, Zhihua."
"Who am I?" Qi Mojing's face turned dark.
"Know painting, know painting, know painting!" Shi Jin shouted happily three times in a row, not paying any attention to the increasingly gloomy face of the person opposite.
Qi Mojing felt that her patience was about to run out. Although there was an arm's length between the two of them, the fragrant scent of osmanthus and wine in her mouth clearly told him that the person in front of him was a drunkard.
His eyebrows were getting tighter and tighter, and he looked as if a storm was about to come. However, just when he was about to brush the drunkard away, Shi Jin hugged him around the waist.
His waist was thin and strong. Due to long-term martial arts practice, although his appearance was slim, his muscles were quite strong and strong. Now he was caught off guard by Shi Jin and his whole body froze.
"Zhihua, you're so awkward!" Shi Jin frowned in dissatisfaction, but a pair of jade-white, boneless hands pinched his waist hard.
Qi Mojing gasped briefly and quickly, her nose trembled slightly, and her eyes darkened inexplicably.
"Do you know what you are doing?" Qi Mojing asked in a low voice.
The girl in his arms raised her head, glanced at him in confusion, and then smiled softly, "I'm planting trees."
"Planting trees?" Qi Mojing repeated, with obvious doubts in his voice.
"Yes, plant a tree." Shi Jin said, hugging his waist and leaving, "Where should the tree be planted? This way? Or that way?"
She muttered while trying to move Qi Mojing.
However, the "tree" in front of him remained motionless. Shi Jin sweated all over his forehead and did not let the tree move.
"Then we have to plant it here." Shi Jin murmured in a low voice, then straightened the "tree" and looked around for rocks to fix the tree.
Qi Mojing closed her eyes and suppressed the disturbing emotions in her heart, "Cui Shijin, that's enough!"
The next second, there was a "thud" sound, and Shi Jin fell into the hollow in the rockery, and his whole body was in a weird posture and fell asleep...
.
After waking up from a dream one night, Shi Jin rubbed his lower back, which was aching for unknown reasons, and entered the second master's room.
Siqi was currently packing the second master's clothes. When he saw Shi Jin coming over, he couldn't help but glance at her, "What's going on?"
Seeing her talking leisurely, Shi Jin knew that the second master had gone out early again, so he also felt at ease.
"It's okay, maybe it's just a hangover and a headache." She said nonchalantly.
"You should be more attentive! Zhihua was waiting by my side for a while, and she smelled a bit of alcohol. Now she is being punished to fill holes in the rockery!" Siqi persuaded her earnestly.
Shi Jin's face turned pale, and he followed Siqi silently to tidy up the room.
The second master was already clean, so there wasn't much to tidy up in the room. Shi Jin quickly made the bed, straightened the pillows on the bed, and pulled out a long string of rags with a shake of his hands.
The strip of cloth was extremely long and had an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Shi Jin turned it over several times before he could see the true face of the strip of cloth.
It was a maid's dress. The skirt was torn into strips, but the dress was still intact. With just one glance, Shi Jin froze in place.
These are the clothes she wore yesterday!
The expression on Shi Jin's face changed suddenly, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't remember what happened after drinking.
Thinking about the punishment of Zhihua today, does that mean that the second master not only knew everything about her drinking, but also punished her in a different way?
