After Zhu Ping'an wrote a poem to celebrate the birthday, Zhang Siwei, Wang Shizhen and others also came forward one after another to write poems to celebrate the birthday of the master's wife. Although their poems did not receive as much response as Zhu Ping'an's birthday poem, they also won applause.
After the birthday celebration, Xu Jie and his wife toasted to all the students, and then Mrs. Xu went back to the backyard to entertain the female guests. Today is Mrs. Xu's birthday, and the female relatives and friends are the main guests, so Mrs. Xu, the hostess, naturally has to entertain them.
At the birthday banquet, Xu Jie visited each table and asked about the well-being of his students, showing concern for their recent situations and giving them encouragement from time to time.
The birthday banquet was filled with joy and happiness.
Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen knew that Zhu Ping'an had a low alcohol tolerance, so they took good care of him and helped him block a lot of alcohol.
But even so, Zhu Ping'an soon became drunk and felt a little dizzy.
Zhu Ping'an was self-aware. After he felt that he could not hold his liquor and his head was dizzy, when other people came to toast him, Zhu Ping'an stood up to apologize to the people, told them the truth that he could not hold his liquor, and expressed his gratitude by offering tea instead of wine.
"I didn't expect that you also drink tea instead of wine." The visitor shook his head.
"also?"
Zhu Ping'an's head was dizzy, but he still caught the word "also" and his eyes lit up. Could it be that there was someone at the banquet today whose alcohol tolerance was as bad as his? It really was a proof that I was not alone.
"Yes, that's what Zhongfang did just now." The visitor nodded.
Zhong Fang
Talking about Senior Brother Yang Jisheng, Zhu Ping'an was stunned when he heard it and looked at the newcomer in confusion. No way, you must have made a mistake. Senior Brother Yang Jisheng is famous for his good alcohol tolerance. He may not be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, but he can definitely drink three kilograms of liquor.
"Zhongfang not only drinks tea instead of wine, but also only eats vegetarian food. He is very picky and does not eat vegetarian dishes with onions and ginger. Don't you think it's strange? He is a meat lover..."
The visitor kept muttering and never stopped complaining about Yang Jisheng until he left his mouth.
Brother, you are fasting, right
Zhu Ping'an shook his head and said, "Okay, today might be a special day for senior brother, such as the day of his family's sacrifice, so senior brother might be fasting like this today."
"Senior Brother Yang really doesn't drink alcohol or eat meat. We asked him and he said he has something important to do the day after tomorrow and he has to fast for three days." Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen said this to Zhu Ping'an after they finished toasting.
The most important affairs of state are sacrifices and military affairs.
Well, the big thing that senior brother was talking about is probably the sacrifice, Zhu Pingan thought with a groggy head.
The birthday banquet ended before curfew, and Zhu Ping'an, half drunk and half awake, left with Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen. When the three arrived at the gate of Linhuai Marquis's mansion, they found Liu Dadao waiting at the gate with a carriage.
"Haha, Dadao, we were still thinking about how to send Zihou back, but we didn't expect that you already have the carriage ready." Zhang Siwei said with a smile.
"Haha, it's not me. This was prepared by Young Master Xu." Liu Dadao scratched his head and replied with a smile.
"Oh, Boss Xu is so thoughtful. I will thank him some other day." Zhu Ping'an shook his head.
"Dadao, you're not drunk, are you?" Wang Shizhen asked.
"How could that be possible? I only ate meat today and didn't drink a drop of wine. The young lady has reminded me that I cannot drink when I accompany the young master out." Liu Dadao shook his head vigorously and said solemnly.
"Then we'll feel relieved to leave Zihou to you." Wang Shizhen and Zhang Siwei nodded with a smile.
"Thanks to you for helping me block the drinking today, otherwise I would have collapsed today. I will thank you another day." Zhu Ping'an walked lightly onto the carriage and bowed his hands to thank Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen.
"Why are you being so polite to us? Go back and have a rest. Dadao and Zihou will be left to you. Drive slowly." Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen pushed Zhu Pingan into the carriage with a smile, and then said to Liu Dadao.
"Don't worry. We'll leave first. Go..." Liu Dadao clasped his fists towards the two of them, then drove the carriage towards Linhuai Marquis' Mansion.
Da da da...
In the night, the sound of horse hooves echoed on the bluestone road, as if playing a lullaby; the carriage swayed from side to side, like a childhood cradle, and Zhu Ping'an, sitting in the carriage, fell asleep unknowingly.
Zhu Ping'an did not wake up until he arrived at Linhuai Marquis' Mansion.
After Li Shu got the news, she immediately brought Hua'er and the others out. When she saw Zhu Ping'an sleeping soundly against the carriage, she couldn't help but get nervous. She told Hua'er and the others to prepare, "Hua'er, go to the bathroom and make sure the hot water is ready. Qin'er, go to the kitchen and ask them to quickly make a bowl of hangover soup. Zhu'er, go and ask Mama Liu to bring the sedan chair over..."
"Ah, are we here yet?"
Zhu Pingan was awakened by the noise outside. When he opened his eyes, he saw the nervous Li Shu. He shook his head, forced a smile, and comforted Li Shu, "It's okay, I just took a nap. I didn't drink much today. Ziwei and Wensheng helped me to block the wine."
Having said that, in order to prove that he was not drunk, Zhu Ping'an held the shaft, stood up and walked under the carriage.
However, Zhu Ping'an overestimated himself. He was slightly drunk and his steps were unsteady. He stumbled as soon as he stepped off the carriage.
"Still showing off..."
Li Shu was so angry that she went forward and supported Zhu Pingan.
"hehe."
Zhu Ping'an's old face turned red.
Giggling...
Seeing this, Hua'er, Qin'er and the others covered their mouths and giggled.
Zhu Ping'an put his hand on Li Shu's shoulder and went back to Jingxiang Garden. Along the way, he smelled the orchid fragrance coming from Li Shu's body. He couldn't help but feel distracted and his hands became naughty. As the ancients said, drinking leads to promiscuous sex, which is true.
"If you touch me again, I'll chop off your big pig's hoof..." Li Shu looked at Zhu Ping'an with charming eyes, and said shyly and annoyedly.
"Ahem, I drank too much and my hands are out of control." Zhu Ping'an laughed and reluctantly withdrew his randomly touching claws.
I'd be surprised if I believed you.
Li Shu's face flushed, she rolled her eyes, and two strands of hair on her cheeks were gently blown by the wind, adding a bit of allure to her charm.
"Like a pig, smelly, heavy, and dishonest... ... I'm reeking of alcohol. No, I have to take another bath later. Qin'er, come and rub my shoulders, they're so sore..."
When they arrived at Jingxiang Garden, Li Shu helped Zhu Ping'an into the bathroom, pouted her cherry lips and complained, calling Qin'er to rub her shoulders. However, although Li Shu complained, it didn't sound like she was complaining at all, but more like she was acting like a spoiled child.
"Miss, since you have to take a shower anyway, why not take one with your son-in-law?" Qin'er suggested in a low voice while massaging Li Shu's shoulders.
"Yes, miss." The other little girls also joined in the fun.
"Together... Bah, who wants to take a bath with him? If you keep talking nonsense, watch out for your skin."
Li Shu paused for a second after hearing this, as if she was thinking, but soon she turned her head with a red face and showed her little fangs to Qin'er and the others.
Qin'er and the others giggled and begged for mercy, and there was a burst of laughter in the room.
