The days when I opened a tavern in Zongwu

Chapter 14 Did you spike this wine?

If it were a woman, her cheeks might have turned red when faced with this situation.

But Huang Rong's father is Huang Laoxie. Although he is not naturally deviant, he is also used to being informal.

What's more, we all had dinner together today, so it's not a big deal to use the same wine glass now.

After seeing Li Changqing pouring a glass of wine and sipping it lightly, Huang Rong nodded secretly in her heart.

"It's okay, there's nothing arrogant about it."

He couldn't drink too much wine. He was so greedy that he could only retract his head and continue taking a bath.

But compared to Li Changqing's calmness, Huang Rong was a little more noisy.

Sometimes I backstroke and sometimes breaststroke in the pool, making water splash everywhere.

When I got tired of all the hard work, I just let myself float on the water like a salted fish with no face in the sky.

Almost a quarter of an hour later, Huang Rong, who was still floating on the water, suddenly heard a sound of water coming from the opposite side.

Then, after a rustling of clothes, Li Changqing walked outside along the edge of the spring.

Seeing Li Changqing, Huang Rong subconsciously lowered her body, leaving only her head exposed.

With all this mist around, unless you are very close, it is difficult to see clearly what is going on in the pool through the mist on the surface of the pool.

However, when Li Changqing walked out of the wall surrounding the soup spring, a slightly lazy voice came from outside the wall.

"That's about it. A proper bath can activate blood circulation and relieve fatigue, but taking it for too long will not be beneficial to the body."

"Oh!"

After replying to Li Changqing, Huang Rong did not get up immediately.

Judging from the sound of footsteps, Li Changqing had returned to the inner courtyard before jumping out of the pool.

When Huang Rong returned to the inner courtyard with the dirty clothes she had changed, the first thing she saw was Li Changqing, who was once again lying at the door of the main house, warming himself by the stove.

However, when Huang Rong approached, Li Changqing was stunned for a moment when he saw Huang Rong still showing her true face.

Noticing Li Changqing's stunned expression, Huang Rong lowered her head and glanced at herself.

The clothes were clean and fit, and there was nothing wrong with the shoes.

Not noticing anything strange, he couldn't help but ask: "Sir, what's wrong?"

In response, Li Changqing coughed lightly and said to Huang Rong: "You still have something left in the spring."

"There's something else? What something?"

Facing what Li Changqing said, the confusion on Huang Rong's face only increased.

After a few breaths, as if she realized something, Huang Rong suddenly raised her hand and touched her face.

It feels soft and smooth to the touch, without any rough feeling.

Sensing something was wrong, Huang Rong quickly ran towards the backyard.

A moment later, as Huang Rong returned to the inner courtyard, there was a human skin mask still dripping in her hand.

Standing at the door of the main house, Huang Rong looked at Li Changqing who looked like a normal person. Huang Rong couldn't help but ask, "Have you noticed that I changed my appearance?"

Seeing that Huang Rong also noticed that her true appearance was revealed, Li Changqing casually said "hmm" as a signal.

Huang Rong asked: "When?"

Li Changqing said quietly: "You drank too much at noon, and it was discovered after the human skin mask on the temples became warped."

Huang Rong was even more confused when she learned that her secret was exposed at noon.

Huang Rong, who owns a human skin mask, also knows the situation. Special powder is needed to make the mask fit perfectly on her face, making it look fake.

If Li Changqing had taken off his human skin mask at noon, he wouldn't have waited until evening for the human skin mask to fall into the pool.

Regarding this, Huang Rong asked in confusion: "Since you found out that I have changed my appearance, aren't you worried that I have some ulterior motives?"

"So you took off the human skin mask on my face at noon?"

Facing Huang Rong's suspicious look, Li Changqing said truthfully: "No, I just used my fingers to smooth out the raised area on your face."

After hearing Li Changqing's words, Huang Rong's doubts only increased.

"Soothed? That's it?"

Li Changqing looked at Huang Rong angrily and said, "Who in the normal world would be interested in a little girl?"

Although Huang Rong is beautiful, Li Changqing had nine years of compulsory education in his last life.     Some bottom lines also prevent Li Changqing from having evil thoughts towards children under the age of 18.

Moreover, just because Huang Rong is bent over, people can't tell the difference between her chest and back. Who are you looking down on?
  Seeing the natural and calm way Li Changqing spoke, Huang Rong curled her lips and couldn't help but murmur in her heart.

"Since you found out, didn't you tell me earlier? Did you make me wear it all day?"

The human skin mask in Huang Rong's hand was not made of real human skin, but made of pig skin using a special method.

It will naturally be a little uncomfortable when worn on the face.

Sitting on the recliner next to Li Changqing, Huang Rong looked sideways at Li Changqing.

"Don't worry."

Li Changqing said casually: "If you have any bad intentions, you can do it during the lunch break, and you can also administer medicine while cooking. Since you are safe and sound until now, why should I worry?"

Afterwards, Li Changqing picked up the warm wine flask, poured a glass of wine and handed it to Huang Rong.

Perhaps her emotions hadn't calmed down yet, so after taking the glass of wine, Huang Rong took a sip.

However, when the wine entered her throat and she felt the taste spreading in her mouth, Huang Rong's expression changed.

The wine was still the bayberry wine that I drank when I took a bath before, but the taste of the wine obviously contained some medicinal flavor that the previous bayberry wine did not have.

In response, Huang Rong couldn't help but look at Li Changqing and said, "Did you put medicine in this wine?"

Although Huang Rong noticed something strange about the wine, she didn't take action immediately.

Just as Li Changqing said just now.

If Li Changqing wants to harm Huang Rong, there are too many opportunities and there is no need to wait until now.

Li Changqing said quietly: "After taking a bath in the hot spring, your body will be hot. If it is summer and the sweat is caused by the heat, there will be no problem."

"But it's winter now. After soaking in the hot spring, the sweat stops on the body and the cold air easily condenses."

"So I added some medicinal powders from Fang Zhong, Codonopsis pilosula, Atractylodes macrocephala, etc. that can nourish the spleen, replenish qi, gather qi and remove dampness."

After learning about the drugs Li Changqing added to the wine, Huang Rong couldn't help but glance at Li Changqing in surprise.

"I didn't realize that you actually have medical skills."

Li Changqing said slowly: "I understand a little bit."

After speaking, Li Changqing raised the wine bottle in his hand and asked, "Do you want more?"

Huang Rong directly handed the wine glass to Li Changqing.

"Of course!"

Sipping the warm wine in the cup, looking at the heavy snow still falling in the courtyard.

Feeling the warmth in her body caused by the alcohol or the medicine, Huang Rong exerted slight force on her waist, causing the chair beneath her to shake slightly.

This feeling of complete relaxation of the body made Huang Rong's pretty face appear with an expression of enjoyment.

After a while, Huang Rong looked at Li Changqing, who had his eyes closed beside him.

"Hey, you really don't have anything to ask me?"

As the voice came out, Li Changqing, who had his eyes closed beside him, slowly said: "You will naturally say what you want to say. If you don't want to say it, even if you are forced to say it, you may not be able to hear the truth."

"In that case, I will continue to teach you how to cook, and you will continue to be your maid. As long as you don't have any bad intentions, why are you asking so many questions?"

Hearing what Li Changqing said, Huang Rong glanced at Li Changqing in surprise and said, "I can't tell. You are not very old, but you see things thoroughly."

However, Li Changqing didn't ask any more questions, and Huang Rong didn't have to waste her words.

He generously picked up the wine bottle and refilled Li Changqing's glass, then refilled his own glass, and then enjoyed the wine and the snow in peace.

After a while, when Luoxue was tired of playing, Huang Rong turned her head and looked at Li Changqing who was standing aside.

Under the bright candlelight in the room, Li Changqing's face, with his eyes closed at this time, seemed to be covered with a layer of warm fluorescence, giving him a somewhat gleaming feeling.

It made Li Changqing's angular face become softer.

Coupled with the lazy look at this time, it gave people a warmer feeling, which made Huang Rong feel slightly absent-minded again.

For the first time, I felt that the words "Young Master is like jade" do not just exist in writing.

"It would be great if daddy was as good-looking as he is, and he wouldn't get tired of it so easily."
