Chapter 152: Fainting (2nd update)
Following his line of sight, Li Zhixian saw an ordinary carriage. After the carriage stopped, a thin and elegant middle-aged man got out of the carriage. Behind the man, there was a man wearing a pink coat and a bun with a cloud bun. young girl.
The girl looks like a thirteen or fourteen year old girl, with a look like a fish and a wild goose, with a face that shys away from the moon. Her eyebrows are lightly swept, she has water-cut eyes, her nose is like a gallbladder, her teeth are plain and her lips are red, and her porcelain white icy skin is dazzling. The jade bone holds an unparalleled beauty!
He suddenly remembered the woman Jin Zhier was talking about last night, it must be her. When Huo Yuan went out, he actually took her with him. It seemed that he loved her very much, but in this case, how should his daughter behave? He became distressed and looked at his son, but when he saw that it didn't matter, he was immediately furious with his son and almost had an attack immediately.
I saw that his unsatisfactory son was looking at the girl in the pink coat intently, with a lewd expression in his narrow eyes, and a smile on his lips.
"Ahem..."
He coughed and bumped his son's ribs with his elbow to remind him not to lose his composure.
Li Jingui was woken up by him. He quickly looked away and wiped the corners of his mouth with his hands. His palms were wet!
"Haha, Mr. Huo can condescend to come to this humble abode. It really makes the humble abode shine. Haha, I am sorry that I am so far away from you. Please forgive me, Mr. Huo. Please..."
Li Zhixian greeted politely, stretched out his palms to make a gesture of invitation, turned back, and secretly glanced at his son.
Li Jingui also hurriedly followed his father, greeting everyone politely.
The first time Caiwei saw Li Jingui, she had a very bad impression of him. Although this man was young, his face was pale, his eyelids were swollen, his eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes were wandering. At first sight, he seemed to be a man who indulged in excessive sexual activities and did not know how to control himself. His appearance resembled that of Li Zhixian and Li Jinzhi, and she guessed that this beast was the county magistrate's son who wanted to take Sanchun as his concubine.
County Magistrate Li led everyone to the flower hall, where they sat down separately for the honored guests. Caiwei did not sit down, but stood behind her father, standing there with low eyebrows and listening to them.
After listening to Mu Zhongqing's story about the case of a carriage hitting someone in a big house, Li Zhixian rolled his eyes and said slowly in an official tone: "This matter is not big or small. Why don't you all move to the wine table and let's talk slowly? Mr. Huo, what do you think?"
Huo Yuan naturally didn't want to sit at the same table with a flattering and vulgar villain like him. But the attitude of the old fox, County Magistrate Li, was ambiguous. Since he said that the matter was not big or small, if they rejected his request and the old fox brought out the national laws and regulations, the affairs of Miss Mu's family would be difficult, so , in order to help her, he endured it, nodded and said with a smile: "So, you are disturbing Mr. Li!"
Li Zhixian was polite: "Wherever I can invite Mr. Huo, I will be lucky to be a low-ranking official..."
The banquet of Li's Mansion was held in the Chrysanthemum Garden in the backyard of Li's Mansion, a large room that was gorgeous but tacky. Because Caiwei was a woman, it was inconvenient to sit with everyone, so Magistrate Li ordered her to be taken to his wife's house. , the lady will accompany her to dinner.
Caiwei was eager to leave here. If she stayed here for a while longer, she would be vomited by Li Jingui's disgusting eyes. After hearing the arrangement, she immediately saluted everyone and left quickly with the two nuns.
Li Jingui looked at Caiwei's beautiful back and reluctantly looked back, just in time to see his father winking at him to remind him to toast Huo Yuan.
Li Jingui felt suffocated again, and when he came out of his mother's womb, it was always others who fawned over him. How could he ever fawn over others, especially when he fawned over others, they still ignored him and didn't give him face, so , after receiving the hint from his father, he simply pretended not to see it.
Huo Yuan didn't even look at him, he just chatted with Cao Jin and Mu Zhongqing, and occasionally offered a few perfunctory words of flattery to Li Zhixian, but also in a light tone, as if he had to say it.
What's so great about those damn profiteers!
Li Jingui drank a few more sips of wine, and the more he looked at Huo Yuan's superior appearance, the more he disliked it. The more he looked at it, the more he wanted to punish him severely, but he was not stupid. He knew that at the wine table Since he couldn't get any advantage, he thought about the woman Huo Yuan had brought. Unconsciously, his heart moved and his stomach tightened. He pretended to be drunk and got up, claiming that he was dizzy.
When Li Zhixian saw that his son refused to curry favor with Huo Yuan, he was angry, annoyed and helpless, so he had to hold the place alone and keep urging everyone to drink.
After drinking for three rounds, everyone felt dizzy. Huo Yuan realized that something was wrong and asked quickly: "President Li, what kind of wine did you give us to drink?"
Li Zhixian laughed and said: "The merchants from Liaodan Kingdom who came to my Yushu County to collect ginseng gave Xiaguan the strong liquor outside the customs a few days ago. The liquor tastes a bit strong, but it is definitely good liquor!"
Cao Jin rubbed his forehead and said: "I also tasted it. It is indeed the strong wine from Liaodan Kingdom, but it should not be mixed with the rice wine from our Jin Kingdom. When these two kinds of wine are mixed, they will have the effect of Mongolian sweat medicine..."
After saying that, his body sank and he fell asleep on the table.
Li Zhixian said in surprise: "Oh, how could I have known that mixing these two kinds of wine together would lead to this? You really deserve to be punished, you deserve to be punished..." As he said this, he closed his eyes, lowered his head, and fell asleep.
Although Huo Yuan's head was heavy, he could barely hold it up. He took out a delicate porcelain box the size of a peach from his arms. After opening it, he wiped some of the paste-like substance inside under his nose and on both sides of the sun. Sure enough, I woke up a bit.
Mu Zhongqing and An Qiyun were also drunk, swaying on the table and falling asleep.
Seeing this scene, Huo Yuan's face turned gloomy. He had traveled all over the country since he was a child and had never seen any scene. Such a scene was too weird. If there was nothing fishy in it, he would not believe it anyway.
"Come here!" he whispered.
A maid came forward, lowered her body and asked respectfully: "Master, what are your orders?"
Huo Yuan pinched his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice, "Where is the girl who came with us now?"
The maid said: "According to the master's order, the girl has been sent to the courtyard where the madam lives. Now the girl should be eating at the madam's place."
"take me."
He ordered in a low voice, and his heart was already burning with anxiety. It was not that he had not seen the expression Li Jingui looked at Caiwei just now, and now that Li Jingui had not returned since he left the table, it was inevitable that he would combine the two things. …
"this……"
The maid was a little embarrassed. How could she, a little maid, dare to lead a foreign man into the back house without the county magistrate's order?
Just when he was in trouble, the housekeeper's wife walked in. As if she had seen a savior, the little maid stepped forward to greet her and told Huo Yuan that she was going to the back house.
The housekeeper smiled and said, "What's the big deal with me? Mr. Huo is a distinguished guest in our house. Why not go to the back house? Mr. Huo, please come with me."
With that said, he led Huo Yuan towards the back house!
