The dinner was very sumptuous.
There is everything from chicken, duck, fish, meat, delicacies from land and sea, to fine wine.
Luo Qingzhou was persuaded to drink a lot of wine.
When they had almost finished eating, he took the opportunity to excuse himself from the meal on the pretext of being drunk.
Song Ruyue quickly stood up and tried to persuade him to stay: "Mr. Chu, you finally came here, how can you leave so soon? Don't worry, have a few more drinks, don't be afraid of getting drunk, if you are drunk, just let Meijiao take you there."
Nangong Meijiao picked up the wine pot, poured him another glass, and pushed him to sit down and said, "Mr. Chu, Luo Qingzhou hasn't come back yet. When he comes back, talk to him and ask him to toast you another glass of wine. It won't be too late to leave then."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
Song Ruyue said quickly: "Yes, yes, Meijiao is right. Qingzhou should indeed toast you a glass. When he comes back, let him and Weimo toast you a glass together."
Then he said embarrassedly: "Qing Zhou should have told you about Wei Mo's illness. Wei Mo needs to use the Fire Fox Tears every month, so... Master Chu, I will need your help when the time comes."
Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched a few times, and he could only say: "Don't worry, Madam Qin, if I can help Miss Qin's illness, I will definitely help."
Miss Qin Er smiled, raised her glass, and said softly: "Mr. Chu, Wei Mo offers you a glass, thank you for your generosity."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and said, "Second Miss is weak, so you'd better not drink alcohol, drink tea instead."
Miss Qin Er smiled and said, "It's okay, it's fruit wine, Wei Mo just needs to drink less."
Qin Wen Zheng sipped his wine alone and looked at the two of them coldly.
Luo Qingzhou picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Miss Qin Er looked gentle, took a sip, and then whispered to the person beside her: "Sister, would you like to toast Master Chu as well?"
Miss Qin looked indifferent and did not respond.
Bailing came over quickly, picked up the wine glass in front of her, two sweet dimples appeared on her face, and she laughed crisply, "Master Chu, my lady doesn't know how to drink, so I'll toast you a glass. My name is Bailing, as in lark bird, so you can call me Ling'er, Master Chu."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her, not daring to meet her gaze, and raised his glass and said, "Thank you, Miss Ling'er."
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
Bailing also drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, poured another glass, and said crisply: "Master Chu, Ling'er toasts you another glass. Thank you Master Chu for saving my wife, and thank you Master Chu for helping my second daughter. Thank you Master Chu for being friends with my uncle. Oh, my uncle is so pitiful, he rarely goes out and rarely makes friends. I didn't expect to be able to become friends with Master Chu. Thank you very much."
Luo Qingzhou said nothing and drank another glass.
Just after he finished drinking, Qiu'er, who was standing behind him, poured him another glass.
Bailing put down the wine glass, smiled sweetly, retreated, walked to the corridor and whispered: "Chanchan, why are you always peeking at Master Chu here? You are not fickle-minded and no longer like the gentle and elegant son-in-law, but the mighty and powerful Master Chu, right?"
Xia Chan glanced at her, ignored her, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
She and this "Master Chu" had fought side by side many times, and someone had once transformed himself into Master Chu in front of her.
Bai Ling muttered, "Although Mr. Chu looks good, his appearance is too ordinary. I still like handsome men like my uncle."
Xia Chan looked at her again.
Bailing said quickly: "Chanchan, don't get me wrong, it's just ordinary liking and admiration. Don't worry, I don't have that kind of liking for my son-in-law. I, Bailing'er, have sworn to be a pure and innocent little flower forever, and I won't let my son-in-law dirty me."
Xia Chan looked at her and still said nothing.
In the house.
Song Ruyue toasted another glass of wine, then coughed, attracting everyone's attention, and asked with a smile on her face, "Mr. Chu, excuse me, are you married?"
Luo Qingzhou put down his wine glass and was about to nod and speak when Miss Qin Er beside him suddenly said, "Mother, Mr. Chu hasn't gotten married yet."
Everyone's eyes turned to her.
Miss Qin Er smiled slightly and said softly: "Sister Meijiao told me secretly."
When Song Ruyue heard this, her eyes suddenly brightened and she looked at the girl next to her.
The others also looked at the girl next to her thoughtfully.
Nangong Meijiao froze for a moment, reached under the table, gently pinched Miss Qin's leg, her cheeks slightly hot, and whispered: "I didn't..."
But her look and tone seemed guilty and shy.
Song Ruyue quickly moved closer to Qin Wenzheng and whispered, "Master, did you see that? It turns out that Meijiao has already had a crush on this Mr. Chu."
Qin Wen Zheng lowered his head to eat and ignored her.
Song Ruyue laughed and said, "Mr. Chu, you are so young and promising, but you haven't married yet. You must have very high standards, right? You are so young, but you have already reached the level of a martial artist. An ordinary woman is definitely not worthy of you. If you ask me, Mr. Chu should look for a woman with a distinguished family background, gentle... beautiful and generous, good looks, good figure, good temperament, and a daughter of a martial artist. Only in this way can she be worthy of you, Mr. Chu."
Qin Chuan, who was eating at the side, suddenly blurted out: "Mother, aren't you talking about Meijiao?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience suddenly fell silent.
Qin Chuan was eating with his head down when he suddenly realized something was wrong. He raised his head and saw everyone was staring at him.
"What...what happened?"
Seeing that everyone looked unhappy, he immediately said subconsciously: "I was wrong..."
Qin Wenzheng's face was as gloomy as water. He looked at him and said, "After you're full, go back and practice. School will start in two days. Go ahead."
Qin Chuan said: "Dad, I haven't...ah!"
Suddenly, someone stepped hard on his foot under the table. He reacted immediately and stood up quickly, saying, "I'm full... Brother Chu, I'm going to practice first, and we'll talk next time."
After saying that, he limped out.
Song Ruyue smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Chu, eat your food and ignore Chuan'er. He just likes to joke around."
Luo Qingzhou tried to hold back, but couldn't help it, and said: "Mrs. Qin, I'm actually married, and I have...hiss..."
My feet under the table were suddenly stepped on.
At the same time, Nangong Meijiao, who was sitting next to him, was holding a familiar piece of jade in her hand and fiddling with it with one hand.
Luo Qingzhou's face changed, and he immediately changed his words: "Madam Qin, I'm getting married soon. My family has arranged a blind date for me, but I don't like it very much... However, my parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, I don't know how to refuse."
Upon hearing this, Song Ruyue laughed and said, "Mr. Chu, it's already this time, and you still believe in your parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Besides, you are a warrior, so of course you should pursue the girl you like. Marriage is a lifelong thing. If Mr. Chu doesn't like it, you must bravely refuse, and never give in, otherwise you will regret it later. So, Mr. Chu, I will go to your house another day and persuade your parents that children should be allowed to make their own decisions, especially for such a lifelong event, so as not to ruin the child's life... Ahem, come, let me toast Mr. Chu again."
Luo Qingzhou picked up the wine glass and moved his feet under the table, but they were still being stepped on tightly. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and drink it all in one gulp.
After drinking a few more cups, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Mrs. Qin, Mr. Qin, it's getting late. I really have to leave, otherwise my family will worry."
Song Ruyue glanced outside, frowned and asked, "Why hasn't Qingzhou come back yet?"
Qin Wenzheng said, "Perhaps Qingzhou is also waiting for Master Chu to return before he leaves."
Then he stood up and said, "Mr. Chu, if that's the case, then we won't force you to stay. If you have time in the future, you can come over anytime."
Song Ruyue also quickly stood up and said, "Yes, yes, Mr. Chu, you can come here anytime in the future. Treat this place as your home. Don't be polite to us."
Luo Qingzhou thanked them again, bowed to Miss Qin and Miss Qin II, and prepared to leave.
Song Ruyue hurriedly said, "Meijiao, hurry up and send Master Chu off."
Nangong Meijiao naturally knew what she meant. Her cheeks were still slightly hot. She stood up and said, "I'll go call Luo Qingzhou back."
After saying that, he walked ahead and quickly left the house.
Luo Qingzhou followed behind.
Song Ruyue sent the two of them out the door, then returned, her face full of excitement and said, "Master, Weimo, did you see that? Meijiao and Master Chu are a perfect match whether they are walking or sitting together. And Meijiao seems to have feelings for Master Chu, and Master Chu seems to be very gentle to Meijiao. Tonight, whether Meijiao was talking to him or toasting him, Master Chu was particularly gentle and obedient..."
At this point, she said happily: "The two of you are really a perfect match."
She spoke with great excitement, then she realized that everyone in the room was silent and no one looked happy on their faces.
Especially her master, the look he gave her was not pleasant.
Song Ruyue asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? Master, are Meijiao and Master Chu not a good match?"
Then he asked again: "Wei Mo, what do you think?"
Miss Qin smiled slightly and said softly, "They are a good match."
Miss Qin, who was standing by, glanced at her.
Qin Wenzheng said expressionlessly: "I'm tired, I'm going to sleep first."
After saying that, he left.
Miss Qin looked at his back and frowned slightly.
Song Ruyue blinked her eyes, feeling that something was wrong, but when she thought about it carefully, it seemed that nothing was wrong.
"Jianjia, do you think what mother said is right?"
She asked Miss Qin again.
Miss Qin did not respond, her flawless and beautiful face was still as cold as snow.
Bai Ling suddenly poked her head out of the door and said crisply, "Madam, Ling Ling thinks you are wrong. Mr. Chu is too ugly and not worthy of Princess Mei Jiao."
Song Ruyue immediately said with a stern face: "Mr. Chu is our benefactor, you can't say that to him anymore. If you say that Mr. Chu is ugly, I will marry you to him, humph!"
Unexpectedly, when Bai Ling heard this, she immediately nodded and said, "Madam, I do! I am willing to marry the ugly Mr. Chu."
Song Ruyue: “???”
Miss Qin Er laughed and said, "Mother, then please help Bai Ling."
Song Ruyue glared at her and said, "We are talking about serious matters, and you are all joking. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Chu Meijiao has a special relationship with Master Chu. What do you think?"
Miss Qin Er smiled and murmured, "It is indeed unusual..."
She looked at her sister.
Outside, the moon is bright.
There were no lights in the Maple Leaf Alley, only the faint light coming from the alley entrance and the white moonlight above.
Luo Qingzhou followed Princess Nangong in the alley. Just as he was thinking about how to get rid of her, Nangong Meijiao suddenly stopped, looked at him and said, "Chu Feiyang, don't worry, I won't marry you."
Luo Qingzhou also stopped and said, "I know that the princess will definitely not marry someone like me."
Nangong Meijiao raised her eyebrows and asked, "What kind of person are you?"
Luo Qingzhou met her gaze and said, "Despicable and shameless, mean and sinister, likes violence and all kinds of deception, and also likes to throw lime and villains."
Nangong Meijiao stared at him in silence for a moment, then said, "But I also like beating people violently and throwing lime."
Luo Qingzhou said: "The princess is different. The princess has personality, while I am mean."
Nangong Meijiao sneered: "You said you were so bad, are you afraid that this princess would pester you?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "No."
Nangong Meijiao approached him.
Luo Qingzhou immediately stepped back and looked at her hand vigilantly.
Nangong Meijiao stopped, raised the jade in her hand, and said coldly: "Chu Feiyang, you have a lot of handles, it's useless for you to escape."
Luo Qingzhou stopped, took a look at the jade in her hand and said, "What does the princess want?"
Nangong Meijiao didn't answer. She stared at him in the dark for a while and asked, "Are you drunk?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "No."
Nangong Meijiao stretched out her delicate hand and said, "I'm drunk, come and help me."
Luo Qingzhou locked eyes with her for a while, then walked over, held her delicate wrist, and said, "Princess, do you want to go back to the inner city? I'll help you hire a carriage."
Nangong Meijiao's body softened and she leaned against his arms. She raised her pretty face, with a faint smell of alcohol on her mouth, and looked at him with blurred and charming eyes: "I won't go back to the inner city, but to your home, sleep with you, and let you bully me, okay?"
The dark alley suddenly became quiet.
The night wind blew, and a few yellow leaves fell from the branches, swirling in the alley.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, and said in a somewhat dry voice: "Princess, stop joking, I have a family..."
The girl in his arms suddenly hugged his neck, stood on tiptoe, kissed him on the lips, and pushed him against the wall next to him...
The moonlight is bright, but it cannot illuminate the dark alley.
In the corner, a young boy and a girl were huddled together.
The boy struggled for a few times, but the girl grabbed his vital point, and his body stiffened instantly. He had no choice but to lean against the wall behind him, close his eyes, open his mouth slightly, and let her kiss him...
