[R18] Will drink wine – Chapter 43 of “About Wine” [English]

Chapter 42 Red Plum (Part 2)

The man lifted his hat, revealing a stubbled face.Qiao Tianya blew the strands of hair in front of his forehead and said, “You can just lead me into the wine shop, but do you have to stand here and talk?”

“Rabbits are hard to catch.” Shen Zechuan looked at he for a moment and said, “Should I call you Qiao Tianya, or should I call you Songyue.”

“It’s up to you.” Qiao Tianya said, “My name is Qiao Tianya, we have some friendship. My name is Songyue, and you will be my master.”

“Master Tongzhi is very capable, why do you obey my husband’s orders?” Shen Zechuan asked.

“I can’t help it,” Qiao Tianya laughed at himself, “I owe Taifu a life, and I have to work hard for the rest of my life to repay it.”

“Everything went well that night at the hunting ground,” Shen Zechuan said, “It turned out to be thanks to your help.”

“I followed you because of the look in your eyes.” Qiao Tianya said, “You wanted to kill the King of Chu that night, but you didn’t expect Xiao Er to be so brave. You pushed the person in front of the Jin Yiwei and made people turn around. But you are so smart, you were able to pull Xiao Er off.”

“That’s all I have.” Shen Zechuan said.

Qiao Tianya patted the snow on his shoulder and said: “I will follow you from now on, Master. If you have meat to eat in the future, don’t forget to give me some soup. I can feed myself better than Xiao Er’s group of guards.”

“Ding Tao is young,” Shen Zechuan casually threw the money bag to him, “Chenyang and Gujin are the tough ones.”

Qiao Tianya accepted the money and said, “You have thoroughly explored Xiao Er’s background, but people still miss you for saving his life.”

Shen Zechuan smiled: “You actually want to follow him.”

“I am a loyal bodyguard,” Qiao Tianya raised his hand innocently, “If he, Xiao Er, is willing to buy me with a large sum of money, I will naturally be willing to go through fire and water for him.”

Shen Zechuan said: “It’s a pity that he is already crowded with people, so there is no room for you.”

“My little master,” Qiao Tianya said, tilting his head and squinting one eye, “you have a really poisonous mouth.”

Shen Zechuan made a ridiculous expression.

“But this,” Qiao Tianya grinned, “is applicable to both of us.”

Eight days later, Shen Zechuan and Ji Gang arrived as scheduled.

Ding Tao had obviously complained. Gu Jin had not drank today and was standing outside the door, seeing Qiao Tianya following Shen Zechuan from a distance.

Ding Tao immediately stood on tiptoe and whispered: “Brother Jin, it’s he, it’s he!”

Shen Zechuan and Ji Gang were introduced by Chen Yang, so Qiao Tianya naturally wanted to stay outside.But he didn’t have this consciousness, and his stepping foot was blocked by Gu Jin.

“I heard that brother blocked this kid’s way a few days ago,” Gu Jin looked at the bamboo hat with sharp eyes, “What kind of hero is bullying a child?”

Ding Tao snorted confidently and said, “What a hero!”

Qiao Tianya laughed loudly, took off his bamboo hat with his backhand, and said with a playful smile: “Aren’t you here for dinner tonight? Why are you still fighting? This is the first time this kid and I have met. Brother, do you admit your mistake?”

Ding Tao said “Ah” and said angrily: “How can you say that? I will never admit the wrong person!”

Gu Jin stopped Ding Tao and faced Qiao Tianya.

Two men of similar stature faced each other, almost colliding with each other.

Gujin said: “Today is not suitable, let’s make an appointment later.”

“I have no time,” Qiao Tianya tugged at the strand of hair in front of his forehead and smiled provocatively, “After all, I am the only master, how can I have so much free time to raise my younger brother?”

Gu Jin spat coldly and said, “Sign up and we’ll have time to meet in the future.”

“I, Qiao Yueyue,” Qiao Tianya put his fingers together and nodded his forehead to Ding Tao, “My name is Xiao Songsong.”

Chenyang led Shen Zechuan and Ji Gang inside. The courtyard was deep. After passing through the verandah, and then through the cave door, they saw the red plum blossoms all over the courtyard, which was very elegant.

Xiao Chiye stood waiting under the tree. When Shen Zechuan stepped in, he and he looked at each other for a moment. The subtle feeling was not conveyed in time, so the two of them looked away together.

Xiao Chiye greeted Ji Gang and said with a smile: “Uncle Master came here in the snow, but I was a little disappointed. The food and wine are ready. Master has been waiting inside for a long time.”

Ji Gang looked at Xiao Chiye, blocked his salute, and said, “Your master left the Ji family more than 20 years ago. Now you are in your own sect. We are not from the same sect, so there is no need to be polite.”

Xiao Chiye said: “If you come from the same lineage, you are from the same sect. Today I am able to mix and mingle with hundreds of schools, and it is also the credit of the Ji family’s fist leader entering the sect. I have admired the name of my uncle for a long time, and this courtesy can be said no matter what.”

Xiao Chiye bowed and led Ji Gang inside. He turned his head and said to Shen Zechuan, “Lan Zhou and I haven’t seen each other for a while.”

Shen Zechuan stepped through the door and said with a smile: “Senior brother is very powerful now, so get busy.”

“We are from the same sect,” Xiao Chiye said lightly, “No matter how busy I am, I have to make time for you.”

“How can you do it if you delay the business because of me?” Shen Zechuan said, “I have been busy with idle work every day recently. This is because of my senior brother’s care.”

“It’s easy to say,” Xiao Chiye lifted the curtain, “If you want to be busy, just come to me, I will sweep the bed and wait for you at any time.”

When Shen Zechuan heard the word “couch”, he felt a pain in the back of his neck. The place where he was bitten seemed to be still hot, so hot that his smile faded.

Zuo Qianqiu was wearing a long-sleeved robe with a sloping collar and his white hair was tied up in a bun. He looked neither like a scholar nor a famous general.He is clearly several years older than Ji Gang, but he looks younger than Ji Gang.If I had to describe it, it would be that he has a bit of a fairy spirit. There are rumors that he has become a monk, but I’m afraid it’s not groundless.

Zuo Qianqiu turned around and saw Ji Gang.

Today, Ji Gang is dressed in cloth and a rough jacket, his face is ruined. Standing here, looking at him, the past suddenly surges, the young man’s laughter and laughter are close to his ears, but the people in front of him are already gray-haired.

Xiao Chiye broke the silence and said, “Masters are eating inside, while Lan Zhou and I are waiting outside.”

“Chuan’er, fasten your cloak,” Ji Gang leaned sideways lonelyly and warned Shen Zechuan, “If you feel cold, come in.”

Shen Zechuan nodded.

Zuo Qianqiu said: “Aye, take good care of your junior brother.”

Xiao Chiye responded with a smile, and the two of them retreated.

It’s cold outside, but it’s a rare clear night.

Shen Zechuan went downstairs and saw that the red plum forest was deep and there were bridges passing through it. The courtyard was so elegant that it didn’t look like Xiao Chiye’s handiwork.

“This courtyard was bought from the Yao family for a lot of money.” Xiao Chiye seemed to know what he was thinking. He stood behind him and raised his hand to push aside the red plums, revealing the surrounding clear stream. “It’s beautiful, but also expensive.”

“You are willing to do so.” Shen Zechuan did not look back.

Xiao Chiye bumped Shen Zechuan’s back gently with his chest, raised his hand to cover the top of Shen Zechuan’s hair, whispered into his murky ears, “Red plums cover the snow, orchid boats are fragrant. A smile is worth a thousand dollars.”

“My pants are all mortgaged.” Shen Zechuan really laughed slowly.

“It cost me some money, but Yao Wenyu has been sold at a low price.” Xiao Chiye paused and said, “You ran very fast, and you also spent a lot of effort to avoid me.”

“It’s not that I’m hiding from you,” Shen Zechuan raised his finger to brush off Xiao Chiye’s palm, “it’s that we have something important that requires an interview?”

Xiao Chiye smiled, with a hint of ruthlessness, and said, “I slept with your second young master. Isn’t it painful?”

Shen Zechuan took a few steps forward and left Xiao Chiye’s chest.he turned around and looked at Xiao Chiye, saying nothing.

The two of them finally came up with something in this night of plum blossoms and stars.

Xiao Chiye realized that what he was grabbing that night was water. Once it had flowed, it was really over. Shen Zechuan didn’t feel any nostalgia for it.After biting madly, the lingering heat was also buried in the night. He Xiao Ce’an was not even remembered in Shen Zechuan’s joy when he tilted his head back and was confused.

Xiao Chiye once again became aware of something.

He was the only one who lost to lust that night.

“I advised you,” Shen Zechuan raised his finger to press down the plum branch and said to Xiao Chiye bewitchingly, “it’s best not to bite the back of the neck.”

“Happiness in bed,” Xiao Chiye smiled sarcastically, “is not something I can do alone.”

“The biggest difference between you and me is desire. You are full of desire and try your best to hide your ambition. A nape is just a small disaster in it. You pulled me, trying to resist it, trying to defeat it, but in the end you still lost to it. But Ce’an,” Shen Zechuan picked a plum blossom, tore open the petals and put it into his mouth, “I don’t even have lust, how can you compete with me in the ring?”

Xiao Chiye took a step closer, grabbed Shen Zechuan’s hand holding the flower, leaned over and said calmly: “What’s one time? It’s not good, let’s do it a few more times. You can’t use the sister of Ouhualou, and you don’t dare to touch the official. You pretend to be an ascetic and aloof saint, but I’m not the one panting that night.”

Xiao Chiye pulled Shen Zechuan’s hand to his lips, held it dangerously, and sneered.

“I lost to lust, but if you are so determined, why do you have to try this with me? Shen Lanzhou, you are probably more afraid of losing to desire than me.”
