Chapter 30 A Drink

Xu Chunjun invited Wan Yiniang to the banquet, and arranged four dishes, one soup, and a pot of Huiquan wine on the stone table under the rose frame.

Aunt Wan came as scheduled, wearing a see-through dress with cool and charming evening make-up.

"Miss Xu, why did you think of inviting me to dinner?" The freshly painted Koudan on Wan Yiniang's nails was as red as blood, making her hands as white as jade.

"It's too hot during the day, and it's cool when the sun goes down. Just as the moon is shining tonight, I want to invite my aunt to come and enjoy it together." Xu Chunjun was dressed in a cloud-colored gauze dress, and his glossy black hair was tied with a peony A bun, with flowers on the temples.The bangs are a little dense, covering his forehead firmly, but they can't cover his strong and energetic eyes.

After Aunt Wan sat down, Xu Chunjun said to the maidservants beside her, "You have been tired all day, go and have a rest! It is enough for me to serve Auntie here."

Wan YiNiang just smiled and said nothing, and when the maids had left, she said to Xu Chunjun, "Miss Xu, what you are hosting today is not a Hongmen banquet, is it?"

"Auntie was joking, I just want to arrange a grand banquet, and I don't have the kind of participation that dares to eat raw meat like Fan Kuai." Xu Chunjun smiled without any pretensions, she was actually a bit old-fashioned on weekdays.

One sentence made Wan Yiniang laugh too, she was naturally not afraid of Xu Chunjun, so she came to the appointment openly.

Xu Chunjun poured a glass of wine for Aunt Wan and himself. The aroma of the wine was mixed with the scent of flowers. Before the wine entered his lips, he was about to be drunk.

At this time, the moon had just risen, round and full, shining brightly, illuminating the courtyard like daytime.

"It seems like I haven't looked at the moon properly for many years," Wan Yiniang said with a soft sigh, "Just for this moon, I have to thank you too."

"It's me who should thank you. Thank you, Auntie, for your face." Xu Chunjun held the wine in both hands, and lightly clinked glasses with Auntie Wan.

"I asked the small kitchen to prepare these dishes, but I don't know if it suits my aunt's taste." Xu Chunjun picked up the pair of chopsticks next to the dish and picked up a shrimp from ham and shrimp for Aunt Wan.

"Miss Xu has a heart." Aunt Wan has seen these dishes on the table a long time ago. Although there are not many dishes, but each one is very delicate and she likes to eat, she knows that Xu Chunjun must have inquired about it in advance.

Of course Aunt Wan knew that Xu Chunjun invited her to dinner for another purpose, but as long as Xu Chunjun didn't mention it, she would pretend not to know, happy to eat and drink.It depends on how deep Xu Chunjun's morality is, so that his wife can give her all the housekeeping rights.

After Aunt Wan had tasted all these dishes and drank three cups of wine, Xu Chunjun said, "To tell you the truth, I hope that Madam will come back soon so that I can take the butler Let go of the responsibility."

"Although you are young, you are a good housekeeper. It is your blessing that Madam trusts you." Aunt Wan didn't take Xu Chunjun's words seriously, and used them as perfunctory words.

"I won't stay in this mansion for long, why bother to be such a villain?" Xu Chunjun shook his head and smiled wryly, "But Madam has kindness to me, I really couldn't bear to refuse, so I reluctantly dealt with it for a few days. With a heart, pinch I'm sweating. I'm really going to be tortured like crazy."

"I think you are drunk and talking nonsense. Why can't you stay in this mansion for long?" Wan Yiniang suddenly became interested, "You have done nothing wrong. In my opinion, Madam will reward you when she comes back! "

"It's inconvenient for me to say some things right now. Auntie just needs to remember that I won't stay here for long." Xu Chunjun grinned, with moonlight shining in his eyes, "So Madam asked me to be the housekeeper. Yes. Of course, if you can say a good word for someone in front of your wife, you will never say a bad word. After all, everyone has difficulties, and no one will intentionally harm others."

Wan Yiniang's hand holding the wine glass loosened and then tightened.

At the end, he picked up the jug and filled a glass for Xu Chunjun, and said to her: "Miss Xu, you are a crystal heart and glass person, and the beauty is that you never show off your cleverness. Even if you don't live here in the future, you still have to visit often. I am a humble person, so please speak a few more words of kindness for me in front of Madam."

"Auntie is already excellent in everything, and my good words to you are just icing on the cake. But as the old saying goes, it's the icing on the cake, so why not do it?" Xu Chunjun smiled affectionately, and his words were ironic.

Aunt Wan let go of her prejudices and looked at her again, she was indeed a likable girl.

When Aunt Wan left, she was slightly drunk.

Two servant girls, Yuqing and Xuerou, supported her, and Xu Chunjun urged: "Please trouble the two sisters, please help Auntie back home!"

Aunt Wan, slightly intoxicated, returned home with two maids.

The moonlight was cool, clear, moist, and very pleasant.

Back in Luoxiang Garden, most of the servants have already fallen asleep, only two or three maids watching the night in the house are still awake.

"Does Auntie feel dizzy? Do you want to ask the people in the small kitchen to make a bowl of hangover soup?" Xue Rou asked.

"This wine is comfortable to drink today, there is no need to sober up the soup." Aunt Wan didn't ask to light the lamp, the moonlight was enough to illuminate the house.

"Then aunt, do you want to wash?" Yu Qing asked for instructions.

"I want to fall asleep while drinking, and I'll be refreshed once I'm washed." Aunt Wan sat lazily on the edge of the bed, looking at the shadow of plantains reflected on the window screen.

While undressing Aunt Wan, Yuqing and Xuerou asked, "What does Xu Chunjun mean tonight?"

"This Miss Xu is really a smart person," Wan Yiniang couldn't help sighing, "She can speak clearly without hurting people's face. I really don't know what will happen to her in the future."

"Auntie, the servants don't understand what you mean." Xuerou and Yuqing were all at a loss.

"It's just a misunderstanding, and you will know in the future." Aunt Wan was tired and wanted to rest, "Remember to tell Miss Xu tomorrow morning that I found my bracelet in the grass beside the pavilion. I don't think so. Be careful leaving it there."

"That's all?!" The two maids couldn't believe it.

They had discussed it with Wan Yiniang, and they lied that the bracelet was lost, and they made a problem for Xu Chunjun.

"What are you unwilling to do? You will know in the future that a false alarm is the best thing." Wan Yiniang smiled and stopped talking further.

Up to now, it is enough for her and Xu Chunjun to know each other well.

So Xu Chunjun didn't send anyone to find the whereabouts of the bracelet, and also didn't conflict with Aunt Qi.

With four dishes and one soup, plus a jug of wine, the turmoil was easily resolved between talking and laughing.

What's even more remarkable is that she saved everyone's face, so that the person who originally designed her couldn't hate her.

"Thankfully she won't stay in this mansion for a long time." Wan Yiniang was drowsy, but still thinking about Xu Chunjun, "otherwise I would have a hard time."

The moon has already shifted to the west, and the night wind blows through the grass and trees, and everything is silent.
