Twilight shrouded the streets, and the lanterns and lanterns on the street were lit up one by one, shining brightly in the dim night.
Ning Yunzhao finally saw a familiar figure in his sight.
He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
"Where have you been?" He stepped forward and asked kindly.
Miss Jun, who was walking slowly with her head down, seemed taken aback by him, and was a little surprised to see him.
"Master Ning." She said.
The night made her face a little blurred, and her voice was low.
She is not happy.
Ning Yunzhao noticed it immediately.
"What's wrong?" He asked, and looked at Liu'er who was following Miss Jun.
What Liu Er wanted to say, Miss Jun had already smiled and spoke first.
"It's okay, I just walked around casually." She said, looking at him a little surprised, "What do you want from me?"
Are you satisfied with the gift selection
How was the first day of opening
Is there anything else I can help with
It's just a casual finding of many things, Ning Yunzhao looked at her.
"It's okay." He shook his head and smiled, "I just came to see you, but I didn't expect you to be here."
Miss Jun said oh, as if she didn't react, but she did.
"When did you come? Have you been waiting for a long time?" She hurriedly asked, asking Liu'er to open the door, "Come in and have a seat."
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? How about we find a place to sit and eat by the way?" Ning Yunzhao said.
Miss Jun smiled.
"It turns out that you came to see me for dinner." She said, "You have invited me twice, and you have come and gone. This time I will invite you."
Ning Yunzhao smiled and said hello, without the slightest courtesy.
Miss Jun thought about it and looked at the sky.
"The night market on Suzaku Street is also open now. I remember someone said that there is an old Yang's barbecue shop over there, which is very good and suitable for drinking." She said.
Some people say that it should be said on the road map in Chaojing.
Ning Yunzhao nodded.
"The Sanyuan Building is over there. The Meijian wine sold in the Sanyuan Building is sweet and soft, and it is most suitable for eating with grilled meat." He said.
Miss Jun reached out to ask.
"Please," she said.
…
At this time, the lights in Lu's mansion were brightly lit, and festive bright red was everywhere.
The heaven and the earth have worshiped, and the wine has been drunk. The bride sat in the bridal chamber. The groom then came to the hall to toast relatives and friends.
The wide hall was full of people, and the maids walked through it serving dishes and wine.
All the people present were dressed in festive uniforms, but they didn't look like they were guests, but they were waiting for orders. Just waiting for an order, he immediately ran out like a wolf and tiger to search the house and destroy the house.
"I, Lu Yunqi, have no relatives or friends." Lu Yunqi raised his glass and said, "Toast."
His words are concise and to the point, even without beginning and end, people who are not familiar with him sometimes can't understand his words. But everyone present could understand.
He meant that these people were his relatives and friends.
He toasts everyone with a glass of wine.
In this happy day of life.
Everyone present stood up and picked up their wine glasses.
"Your Excellency." They shouted loudly.
In the brightly lit and festive hall, a group of people drank the wine in one gulp, drinking three glasses in a row.
Lu Yunqi motioned for everyone to sit down. Turned around and went in.
People in the hall began to eat and drink, or talked in low voices, but there was no joking or joy in the slightest.
This scene looks very strange.
Obviously a festive arrangement. The people present didn't show any joy at all. They had solemn faces and chatted in deep voices. It's like attending a funeral.
The eunuchs and maids standing by the side of the new house saw Lu Yunqi approaching. They smiled and saluted one after another, making the quiet atmosphere lively.
The door was pushed open.
"Please, Prince Consort." The leading eunuch said with a smile.
Lu Yunqi walked in, but these people did not follow, the two maids who were accompanying the bride in the room also bowed their heads and retreated, the door was closed, and there was a sound of soft footsteps, and all the people standing in the corridor retreated.
Big red wedding candles were lit in the room, exuding fragrance, and the utensils that can only be used by the royal family on the table showed the identity of the wedding person.
On the bed of the big red wedding tent, the bride who had removed her hijab and changed into a big red auspicious dress sat upright, her head slightly lowered, revealing her smooth and full forehead.
Hearing Lu Yunqi's footsteps, she didn't move, her figure remained the same, without the tension and restraint of a newlywed.
Lu Yunqi didn't go to the bed, but sat down directly in front of the table, picked up the wine jug and glass placed on it, poured a glass of wine, and drank it down in one gulp.
He sat at the table like this and drank three cups, his fair face was completely pale under the light of the big red candle.
"Your Highness, would you like a drink?" He said suddenly.
Princess Jiuli, who was sitting by the bed, raised her head. Because of the makeup of the bride, her eyebrows, which were originally plain and elegant, were drawn more curved, and her mouth was deliberately painted a little red. She didn't look like her, but she also looked very festive.
"Okay." She said softly, got up and walked over, and sat down opposite Lu Yunqi.
Lu Yunqi poured wine and handed it to her, and Princess Jiuli took it and drank it down with her sleeves hidden.
Lu Yunqi also drank the wine in one gulp. Princess Jiuli had already taken the jug and poured herself a glass. This time she drank slowly and lightly.
The jug was picked up by two people in turn on the table, poured the wine, put it down, one drank it all at once, and the other slowly tasted the wine.
Lu Yunqi suddenly poured a full glass of wine on the ground, one glass fell down, and he wanted to pour another glass.
"She doesn't drink." Jiu Li said, taking a sip of wine slowly.
Lu Yunqi's hands froze and did not move.
Jiuli took the wine glass and continued to drink slowly.
No one said a word, only the big red candles danced happily in the room.
…
"I can't tell, you have a good drinker."
Miss Jun smiled, sitting under the thatched shed near the river, holding a small wine glass and looking at Ning Yunzhao opposite.
Ning Yunzhao was holding a small jug in his hand, and was turning the jug upside down, but there was no wine left.
"I didn't see it either." He said, looking at Miss Jun and shaking his head, "Did you mean drinking a glass of wine until dawn?"
Miss Jun pursed her lips and smiled, looking at the crescent moon in the night sky, as thin as a willow eyebrow.
The master said that all girls who walk in the rivers and lakes must be able to drink, so she drank boldly, and the master disappeared after she passed out.
Drinking can't prove that she is a girl who can walk in the rivers and lakes at all, it just proves that she can be dumped easily.
No matter when, she never does this kind of thing that is not good for her.
"Drinking, it's not the wine, it's the mood, more or less the same." She said with a smile, took a shallow sip, picked up a piece of grilled chicken skin and threw it into her mouth.
Ning Yunzhao groaned, picked up a flagon and shook it again.
"What about how much you feel?" He said, "If you feel more, do you drink more? Or drink less?"
Miss Jun smiled.
She's not good at talking to people like that.
She was destined to have no one to chat with her on an equal footing since she was born, and later she left the palace and ran around with her master over the mountains and ridges, and rarely made friends with anyone.
The only long-term companion is the master, and the master has never had a serious chat with her.
"That person doesn't look like a serious person."
She suddenly remembered what Zhu Zan said in Runan, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Where am I wrong?" Ning Yunzhao asked with a smile.
