Maybe it's because it snowed during the day, and Gu Nan's small courtyard made her feel a little cold at night. Vertex Novel Updates Fastest
Tightening his clothes, Gu Nan sat cross-legged under the old tree in the courtyard.
The light snow on the ground has not completely melted, and the dry branches of the old trees are mottled on the ground.
It always gets dark faster in winter than usual, and there is no curfew yet, so the sky is indeed completely dark.
The half-curved and half-drooped moonlight hangs in the sky, adding a bit of coolness to the night.
Holding the sword in his arms, Gu Nan looked up at the sky, wondering what he was thinking.
Maybe because she was lost in thought, but she didn't notice, Xiaolu came from behind her.
"Girl." With a soft call, Gu Nan turned around and saw Xiaolu standing there. She stood behind Gu Nan and put a cloak on Gu Nan's body: "It's night, don't catch a cold. Mao Ye is really cold."
Baimaoye refers to the night after it snows. The coldest time in winter is not when it snows, but when the snow melts.
"It's okay." Gu Nan smiled slightly and shrugged his shoulders: "I am a rough person with a strong body."
"Girl, don't talk nonsense, girl is not a vulgar person." Xiaolu pursed her lips, as if complaining about Gu Nan's nonsense, and straightened Gu Nan's cloak.
While doing this, he said in a low voice: "Mr. Wang Jian came just now, and he was having a good chat with General Bai Qi in front of the hall. I heard them chatting like a girl."
"That bastard Wang Jian, if they go, it won't be a good thing if they think about it."
Gu Nan waved her hand gloomily, hugging the cold scabbard.
"That girl, go down first for me." Xiaolu pursed her lips looking at Gu Nan's appearance, she could see that Gu Nan had something on her mind, but as a servant, she couldn't ask.
After a salute, Xiaolu was about to leave.
Gu Nan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Xiaolu, where are you from?"
Xiaolu was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't expect Gu Nan to suddenly ask this: "Girl Hui, I'm from Anyi in Qinbei."
"Anyi" Gu Nan nodded, in a county not far from Xianyang.
"Then why come to Xianyang?"
Xiaolu was silent, as if something was mentioned, her voice softened a lot and she was a little depressed: "When I was young, my family was poor and couldn't afford children, so I was taken out and sold to rich and noble families for some goods. "
It was only then that Gu Nan realized that she had asked the wrong question. If it wasn't for the family being in trouble, who would be willing to serve as a slave.
With a stupid mouth, he didn't know what to say for a while, and it took him a long time to say: "Sorry."
"It's okay." Xiaolu smiled lightly, as if she had already seen it, or in other words, it was a kind of luck to work in Baiqi's house.
"It's the girl who wandered here alone at such an age. The same is true in this world, where all good people are in trouble. A good person like a girl should be born in a wealthy family."
Even though Gu Nan is called Xiaolu Xiaolu, if the age is really comparable, Xiaolu is indeed a few years older than Gu Nan.
"What's the matter?" Gu Nan shook her head indifferently. For her, she met Bai Qi not long after she was hungry, and she really didn't feel the pain of wandering.
"I'm a reckless man, what's the point of skipping a few meals and walking a few steps?"
Xiaolu was teased by Gu Nan and laughed: "Girl, you are talking nonsense again, you are so handsome, and you are a woman, how can you be a reckless man."
"Hey, I didn't say that, what I said was true." Gu Nan rolled her eyes, psychologically speaking, what she said was indeed true.
"Miss Gu." A moderate voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard.
A young man walked over with two jars of wine and two wine bottles.
"Mr. Wang Jian." Seeing Wang Jian, Xiao Lu hastily saluted. Wang Jian is an official family member and Bai Qi's guest, she dare not neglect.
"Miss Lu, you don't have to be polite." Wang Jian smiled and helped Xiaolu up.
"Hey, why are you here, you idiot?" Gu Nan seemed to be out of interest, showing no respect to Wang Jian, the equestrian teacher.
Although Wang Jian was a little shy when we first met, but after getting to know her well, Gu Nan also found that Wang Jian is a bold man and doesn't care about her title.
"Girl, then I'll step back first." Xiaolu saw that Wang Jian seemed to have something to say to Gu Nan, so she bowed and prepared to leave.
"Alright, lest he keep staring at you lewdly."
This girl, Xiaolu stuck out her tongue at Gu Nan in embarrassment and ran away quickly.
Gu Nan watched Xiaolu leave, then turned to look at Wang Jian.
"What are you doing here?"
While asking, his eyes drifted to the two jars of wine in Wang Jian's hands.
"drink wine?"
Gu Nan likes to drink, Wang Jian knows this, because one time Gu Nan sneaked out to drink and was bumped into by Wang Jian.
Since then, they have been half drinking buddies.
But after thinking about it, if Wang Jian asked her to drink, the master would not let him in. The old ghost never touched this thing, and he would not let her touch it, otherwise she would not have to drink secretly.
In his words, drinking is wrong.
Wang Jian grinned and patted the wine jar: "Don't tell me, I really want to drink with you. I have already told Mr. Wu An that you are open to drink today."
"That's what you said." Gu Nan's eyes lit up when he opened his mouth.
Just now she is not happy, what is this called? If you want to doze off, someone will send you a pillow.
"Snapped."
Wang Jian sat cross-legged beside Gu Nan, not caring whether it was dirty or not, and put the two large jars of wine on the ground with a soft sound.
He stuffed a wine bottle into Gu Nan's hand.
"I said, I'll take care of things."
"Haha, that's enough buddy, drive quickly." Gu Nan urged impatiently.
Seeing Gu Nan's anxious look, Wang Jian lifted the seal of the wine jar with a smile, and added a bottle for Gu Nan and himself.
The sweet wine swayed in the bronze wine bottle, and the aroma of the wine wafted away, giving it a slightly intoxicating taste in the snowy night.
Holding the wine, Gu Nan brought it to his mouth and drank it down.
The strong wine entered the throat, as if swallowing a mouthful of flames, with a burning sensation in the throat, and then a warmth rose from the abdomen.
The chill that was originally on his body was dispelled in an instant.
"Huh." Breathing out a foul breath, Gu Nan leaned back and leaned against the tree trunk.
Shaking the wine bottle in his hand, he complained.
"Not strong enough."
As if Wang Jian had expected it, he pursed his lips: "This is not enough. This is already the strongest wine in Xianyang City. I got these two altars at a high price. Girl, your drinking capacity is probably the best in this world. I can't satisfy you anymore."
Gu Nan brushed the long hair dangling on the side of her face behind her ears.
The long sword was leaning against her bosom, the green robe was a little loose, and the wine glass was lightly held in her hand, she had the demeanor of an ancient knight.
"Haha, if there is a chance, I will brew it myself and let you taste what is strong wine."
The wine-making technology in the Warring States period was still very simple, and the strongest spirits were stronger than beer, which really didn't feel like it.
"That's kind, I'll thank the girl first." Wang Jian drank the wine in his hand with a smile, his face immediately turned red, obviously the strong wine was really strong for him.
"Don't interrupt." Gu Nan grabbed the wine jar and poured wine into the wine bottle he made: "You came to see me today, just to drink?"
Wang Jian was silent for a while when he heard Gu Nan's question, and then let out a sigh.
Said leisurely: "I heard that you are going to Changping?"
"Ok."
"The road is dangerous, this wine, by the way, I'll see you off." Wang Jian said with a smile, raising his glass.
Gu Nan rolled her eyes: "Seeing you off, it looks like I'm going to die." While speaking, he raised his wine glass and touched Wang Jian.
There was a soft, somewhat hollow sound.
The toasts were intertwined, and before I knew it, I had already finished drinking a jar.
Gu Nan took a sip, and suddenly gave a wry smile for some reason.
Turning to look at Wang Jian.
"To be honest, idiot, I haven't fought a war yet."
"What's so good about this battle?"
Wang Jian didn't know if he was half drunk or completely drunk, so he picked up a dead leaf on the ground.
Holding the petiole and turning it drunkenly.
Gu Nan saw that he was unable to speak anymore, so she smiled and turned her head.
Wang Jian's voice came from behind.
Drunk: "People like us are born to fight."
"And then die on the battlefield."
There was no speaking between the two.
Gu Nan raised his wine glass to the moon.
squint.
In the moonlight, the bronze wine bottle reflects the slightly cold moonlight.
"Moonlight Cup of Qingzun fine wine, if you want to drink Jinming, call immediately."
"Drunk lying on the battlefield Lord Grim."
"How many people fought in ancient times?"
"Miss Gu, what a poem." Wang Jian was already drunk, and raised the wine bottle in his hand: "You should finish this cup."
"OK."
(Poetry in the Warring States period should be based on the style of the Book of Songs, but in fact there are also styles such as words. And the seven-character quatrains, as a poetry style that later became the mainstream, naturally have their place to be appreciated. I think it is acceptable even if there is no such style of poetry in the Warring States period. After all, the appreciation of a poem is not the format but the text. Haha, after all, it is a historical fiction after all, so don’t take it too seriously .)
