C19 Peach blossom wine with human face
She secretly looked around. This inn had three floors, and was very neat and tidy. The Lady Boss on the cabinet was even more charming, her face was flushed with happiness, and her eyes seemed to be staring at Bai Xiaolou.
To be exact, it was on top of Bai Xiaolou's bun.
Hou Zhu was simply too dazzling, and it was too difficult to not attract anyone's attention.
Thirteen Less glanced at the Lady Boss and groaned. The Lady Boss's ears were extremely sharp. She immediately looked at him with eyes that seemed as if they were about to pinch water out of them.
"Oh? Esteemed guest has arrived. This little store truly brings light to our humble dwelling." Ladies and gentlemen, please come upstairs. The best rooms are already prepared. If there is anything, please tell me, Qin Sanniang... " She led the way upstairs, and with three twists and turns, her red dress was about to blossom.
Bai Xiaolou chuckled, he waved his fan lightly, looking indifferent.
The Shura observed his surroundings but didn't find anything abnormal. Was her feeling wrong?
Thirteen Less seemed to be captivated by the Lady Boss's gaze as her body and mind rippled. Only after seeing the Shura's fierce gaze did he come back to his senses.
After washing up, the three of them went back downstairs to eat. The large hall, which used to be filled with people, was now bustling with noise. The shop assistants were shuttling through it. It was truly bustling with noise and excitement.
Bai Xiaolou's servants had already prepared a table for them, the three of them sat down and prepared to order. Bai Xiaolou and the Thirteen Less all gave in, allowing the Shura to go first.
Shura didn't refuse and opened the menu. After looking at it for a while, he smiled sweetly: "This dish should be something from Thirteen Less, I'm afraid everything is something you like."
Thirteen Less took it and looked at it, then immediately smiled, "That's true …"
His heart stirred, and he handed it over to Bai Xiaolou, "How about Master Bai has some? Master Bai does not hate to eat, nor does he dislike details. He is well versed in the way of food, there is no mistake. "
Bai Xiaolou smiled, "Since when did Thirteen Less understand the Little Lou so well?"
He took the menu and opened it up. It didn't have the name of a normal menu. Most of the words on the menu came from the poem, "A gentleman wants to catch a guest", "The Eight Immortals are drunk", "The flower of peach blossoms", "The frost on the white wrist" … They were all very beautiful words, but if he wanted to know what it was, he would have to spend a lot of time and effort guessing.
He pondered for a moment, then raised his head and beckoned to the Lady Boss.
Not long after, the Lady Boss walked over with a leisurely walk. Her every gesture was filled with elegance.
She asked with a smile, "Has Young Master thought of what dishes to order? My family's Gui Yuan Soup is very nutritious, do you want to try it? "
"No need, Lady Boss just stir-fry a few fresh vegetables and a big bowl of white rice."
The Lady Boss was surprised for a moment, and then she said with a smile, "Young Master has been travelling for an entire day and is feeling cold and tired. Our family's peach blossom wine is also excellent, why not give it a try?"
"I never drink alcohol …" Bai Xiaolou also replied with a smile.
The Shura looked at him with his eyes wide open. Wasn't this just speaking nonsense?
Qi Shisan scoffed, "Bai Xiaolou, you're too stingy, not wanting to get even the slightest bit of meat. Boss, what signature dish do you have in mind? Just tell me what kind of soup you are talking about and how much you want to drink from it. " He glanced at Bai Xiaolou and added, "This young master has plenty of money!"
"Alright, alright, alright. Please wait for me young master and miss. I'll go and make the arrangements." The Lady Boss happily left the hall.
Bai Xiaolou was pampered, he waved his fan, and looked like he was smiling yet not smiling.
When the Shura saw this, a strange feeling spread out from within his heart.
Is this a black shop?
She had paid attention to everything Bai Xiaolou did, and she had long ago realized that his actions often had unexpected aspects, but each of them had their own deeper meaning. This person was not simple.
Exquisite dishes were brought out like flowing water and soon filled the table. It was an ordinary dish of fish and vegetables, but it was done in an exquisite manner. It exuded an enticing fragrance that caused the worm in his stomach to rise up.
However, Bai Xiaolou was not moved by his actions. He merely ate a few chopsticks of vegetables, half a bowl of rice, and the bowl of Gui Yuan Tang and the Human-Faced Peach Wine that the Lady Boss had highly recommended. He smelled them and then laid them on the side, too lazy to even glance at them.
The Shura maintained his composure and imitated.
Thirteen Less was completely unaware of it, he took a sip of the soup and felt it to be extremely delicious, praising it profusely: "Delicious, delicious!" Seeing that the Shura had eaten very little, he hurriedly poured a bowl of soup and passed it to him. "Aral, try it too."
The Shura took it and held it to his mouth. Suddenly, he sneezed, and a bowl of soup spilled onto the table. His skirt was also stained with some of the soup.
Thirteen Less hurriedly wiped her hands, feeling quite regretful. "This soup is even better than the Unrecoverable Tower in the Imperial City. It's such a pity that you didn't drink it." He then looked at the man with the peach blossom wine, "Would you like a bowl of wine to warm your body?"
"You drank a whole jar on the carriage today, why do you still want to drink? Eat some food and rest early. " The Shura held down Thirteen Less's hand and shot him a look.
No matter how stupid Thirteen Less was, he knew that there was something weird about the wine. He put down the wine jar and laughed: "I'll listen to you! I originally said that I wouldn't bring Qingyan out to avoid listening to her blabber, but who would have thought that you're even stronger than Qingyan right now! "
The Shura glared at him, and Bai Xiaolou, who was standing opposite of him, had a smile on his face, showing great appreciation.
On the horizon, a crescent moon seemed to fall, covering the thin clouds. The ground was crisscrossed with shadows. The candles in the Flower Lodge went out, and only the two rows of red lights at the entrance glowed faintly.
The Shura blew out the candle and slept in his clothes. Her heart tightened on a string, and she leaned against the pillow, looking at the swaying shadow of the tree in the window.
Dong, dong, dong! There was a knock on the wall next door.
"Aral, are you asleep?" The soundproofing effect of this building was really bad, Thirteen Less's voice sounded as clear as a whisper.
"Not yet." she whispered back.
"Why didn't you let me drink that wine? What did you see?"
"I don't know. I keep feeling that it's strange …"
"I saw that you were tricked by that brat Bai Xiaolou. I told you that it would be better if we went to Canglang boat ourselves …" Thirteen Less was still blabbering.
The Shura raised his voice. "I fell asleep …"
Thirteen Less giggled, "You can still talk even when you're asleep …" After saying a few more bad things about Bai Xiaolou, he slowly fell silent.
The window quietly opened a crack, and a refreshing fragrance filled the air. The Shura was about to cover his mouth and nose, but his sleepiness had already unstoppably assaulted him.
A beautiful figure appeared in the room. She lovingly caressed the Asura's face and called out in a low voice, "Aral, Aral, wake up!"
The Shura opened his eyes, and a face that was filled with longing entered his vision. "Big Sister!"
She threw herself into Rong Miaowei's embrace, both shocked and happy, her tears falling like pearls. "Big Sister, I've been looking for you! "Where did you go?"
Rong Miaowei wore old clothes and combed her unmarried hair. The bright moon in the sky shined beside her ears as she said in surprise, "Aral, I'm in the garden in harem!"
"Garden of flowers?" The Shura muttered to herself and looked around. She was indeed in the harem's flower garden, where the Violet Vine Flower was flowing brilliantly like a waterfall. "I'm so confused. Isn't it our garden?"
"Aral, big sister pleads for you to give me something." The elder sister held her hand, it was so soft and warm.
"Don't mention anything, if it's something that Aral likes, take it."
Rong Miaowei shook her head, "I only wish for this."
"Elder sister, what do you want?"
"Will you give me your heart?" said her sister faintly.
"Heart …" She was somewhat at a loss.
"Give it to me without complaint?"
How can the heart give? She clearly didn't want to do it, but her elder sister's voice seemed to have great power, "Give it to me, give it to me, Aral!"
She couldn't help reaching her hand to her chest, where a hot heart was thumping.
