[R18] Will drink wine – Chapter 70 of “About to Enter the Wine” [English]
byChapter 68 Yun Yu
“Which one do you want?” Shen Zechuan was pinched so much that he narrowed his eyes slightly, making it unclear whether it was discomfort or pleasure. His expression was very attractive, as if he was fanning the flames.
Xiao Chiye rubbed the corner of Shen Zechuan’s lips with his thumb and said, “You can explore it yourself.”
“I’m afraid that some people don’t mean what they say.” Shen Zechuan’s lips opened and closed as he spoke, and the tip of his tongue loomed, causing Xiao Chiye’s thumb to touch the moist heat, but he couldn’t touch it.
“Who doesn’t mean what he says?” Xiao Chiye leaned over and said, “Second Young Master is so frank.”
“You are really honest,” Shen Zechuan sighed, “You are so tough.”
“I just had enough sleep,” Xiao Chiye touched his hand, “I have been saving for many days, can I give you something sweet?”
Shen Zechuan kissed he gently and said, “I have just recovered from a serious illness. I’d better carry it around. I really… don’t have the strength anymore.”
“Who is willing to let you exert force on the couch,” Xiao Chiye said, “Am I willing to do it?”
“You are willing to give it up,” Shen Zechuan looked at him and said softly, “Everything you say now is just deceiving, and it won’t count if you get on the bed.”
Xiao Chiye said, “Really? What did I say when I deceived you?”
“If you want to hear the whole story, tell me about Xue Xiuzhuo first.” Shen Zechuan raised his finger to block Xiao Chiye’s lips from kissing him again.
Xiao Chiye tightened his arms and said, “What do you want to hear? His resume before he became an official was not very good. Xue Xiuzhuo was the concubine of the Xue family and was not favored in his early years. You see, he is a few years older than Xi Hongxuan and Yao Wenyu. Logically, he should not go to school with them, but how did he become a classmate? It’s all because he was neglected at home and delayed his enlightenment.”
“He looks elegant and is very good at dealing with people.” Shen Zechuan said, “He looks more like the legitimate son of a noble family than Xi Hongxuan.”
“He was already eleven years old when he entered school,” Xiao Chiye said. “He was talented and willing to study hard, so he quickly stood out among the children of aristocratic families. However, the good times did not last long. A few years later, Yao Wenyu also entered school.”
“Nowadays, everyone wants to have something to do with ‘Pu Yu Yuanzhuo’ to show that he is a real person. But at that time, our teacher was Mr. Changzong, who was famous for being demanding. After Yao Wenyu left, the number of times others got slapped increased, because no one could beat Yao Wenyu in strategies and literary tests. HeAs soon as his article came out, Mr. Chang Zong’s attention was no longer in his favor.
“Later, Yao Wenyu joined Hai Liangyi’s sect. You know Hai Liangyi. Yao Wenyu can worship Hai Liangyi because of his family background. His talent is evident. In fact, others don’t know that the first person to send Hai Liangyi a name card was Xue Xiuzhuo. He knelt down to Hai Liangyi three times, but Hai Liangyi finally confiscated him..If this matter were left to others, even if they didn’t break up, there would still be resentment in their hearts, but Xue Xiuzhuo was so powerful. On the day of Yao Wenyu’s apprenticeship ceremony, he was there.Not only was he there, he was also the one who didn’t want to see him.There was never a word of complaint before and after.Hai Liangyi’s house was awarded by Emperor Guangcheng at that time. The elder always paid attention to cleanliness and did not meet with local officials in private and did not arrange unnecessary servants. One year, when the pavilion collapsed, Xue Xiuzhuo heard about it and went to replace the stone for Hai Liangyi himself.”
“He respects Mr. Hai Ge very much,” Shen Zechuan remembered, and said, “When I checked his past inspections and evaluations, I also read his policies in the years when he first became an official. They were all about increasing revenue, reducing expenditure, and regulating local land registration. This was also a headache for Hai Liangyi when he first came to the cabinet.”
“He is more like a student of Hai Liangyi than Yao Wenyu. Hai Liangyi has served in the Ministry of Household Affairs for more than ten years and is very aware of the dirty tricks in local accounts. In order to trace the innocence of the accounts, he was assigned Xue Xiuzhuo. Therefore, he served in the Department of Household Affairs, specializing in supervising and auditing various accounts.” Xiao Chiye lay back with the person in his arms and said, “I think his current connections were established at that time.”I have been in the position for eight years, and the evaluations are all excellent. I should have been promoted long ago, but I have never been promoted. Why?Because Hai Liangyi deliberately suppressed him.”
“It seems that Mr. Hai Ge was also moved by his sincerity, and he was willing to spend time polishing him. With this friendship, the two of them are better than teachers and students.” Shen Zechuan slowly frowned, “He is in charge of the household department. He can go to the place, take care of the accounts under his subordinates, and he also has direct privileges. If he wants to make friends with someone, it will be too easy.”
“The chief envoy of Juexi is called Jiang Qingshan. This person should not be underestimated. The last time Xue Xiuzhuo reported Hua Siqian’s accounts, he checked them with him. Jiang Qingshan’s achievements are remarkable. When the army owed Juexi relief money, he was responsible for it and prevented the thirteen cities of Juexi from being starved to death. He was very bold in doing things and had the courage to cut first and then pay later. He was an iron fist. ButHe has a bad temper and doesn’t have much dealings with Du Guan. When Hua and Pan were very popular, he didn’t give Pan Rugui any favors. He was tough and capable, so Hua Siqian couldn’t get him.Such a person, even Yao Wenyu didn’t look down on him, but he could be considered a brother to Xue Xiuzhuo. You can imagine Xue Xiuzhuo’s ability to make friends.”
Xiao Chiye suddenly paused.
“Mr. Haige promoted Xue Xiuzhuo like this. It was actually his own ability. Last time you talked about luring aristocratic families into your trap, I think you hit the point. There is no guarantee that Xue Xiuzhuo can really join the cabinet.”
“I noticed that this person is very contradictory,” Shen Zechuan said. “His policies in the past few years were all about people’s livelihood. When he went to the local area, he also did practical things, but he was inseparable from Xi Hongxuan and other aristocratic family members. The Quanchengsi incident is an opportunity. I feel that he is very deep in the city. He does not act casually, but has foresight.”
“Didn’t you say that there is a helmsman hidden in Qandu?” Xiao Chiye looked more serious, “He is a good candidate.”
“Zhongbo was defeated six years ago. He is not of high rank and is young. How can he control these old foxes from aristocratic families? It is not easy to deal with just a member of the Wei family. I guess if there is such a person, he should be the same age as Hai Liangyi, otherwise it will be difficult to convince others with such qualifications.”
“There are still too few clues. We need to deal with them carefully in the future.” Xiao Chiye squeezed Shen Zechuan’s wrist and said, “The collapse of the Ouhua Building is not without benefits. Xi Hongxuan is scared to death this time. If he wants to have a drink with you in the future, he will have nowhere to go.”
“You can eat wine anywhere. He destroyed a lotus root building and other buildings. The Xiangyun is gone, which means it is really gone.” Shen Zechuan glanced sideways, “Second Young Master is at a loss.”
“Without Xiangyun, I can find someone else.” Xiao Chiye looked at him, “There are many beauties, isn’t there one here?”
Shen Zechuan scratched his palm a few times with his fingertips and said, “If you don’t have five hundred taels, I won’t accompany you to drink.”
“I’m so poor.” Xiao Chiye caught he’s fingertips and said, “I have no money, so I can only give you a farewell.”
Shen Zechuan said: “What rare thing can make my heart beat?”
Xiao Chiye put his hands on his waist and said, “Second Young Master shows his talent, how about it?”
“I, Shen Lanzhou, have a jade tree facing the wind,” Shen Zechuan said slowly, “I can admire myself in the mirror without anyone else.”
“You still don’t know how to play,” Xiao Chiye said, “How can self-appreciation be as enjoyable as me enjoying it? A mirror needs two people to look at it to be full of life.”
Shen Zechuan’s eyes were filled with excitement and he said, “Then what does it mean to be alive and fragrant?”
“Seeing is worth hearing a hundred times,” Xiao Chiye tested Shen Zechuan’s temperature, “Why don’t you try it with me tomorrow and you’ll find out.”
Shen Zechuan gasped slightly when he was touched. Both of them had not felt relieved for a long time, and the pain they had just recovered from the disaster was pressing on their lower abdomen. Now they were hugging and rubbing, which just ignited that little bit of pain.
“Shen Zechuan, who has a pure heart and few desires,” Xiao Chiye sighed in a low voice, “Why don’t I recognize which one it is?”
“That’s Shen Zechuan, your name is Shen Lanzhou.” Shen Zechuan said, “Which one do you want?”
“I want both.” Xiao Chiye picked up Shen Zechuan, turned him over, pressed him down from behind, and said, “Are you going to give it to me?”
Shen Zechuan buried half of his face in the quilt, only breathing and saying nothing.Xiao Chiye bit him, and his ears were sensitive. He gasped for breath after being licked and bitten, and the corners of his eyes became crimson.
“Chenyang has boiled the water and I’ll let you wash before dawn.” Xiao Chiye leaned against Shen Zechuan and called in a nasal voice, “Lan Zhou.”
This bed was a temporary set-up for emergency use. It was small and narrow, and it was difficult to squeeze two people into it.Xiao Chiye did not dare to charge this time and slowly moved in sideways.The guards outside the house were all people with sensitive ears. Shen Zechuan did not make a sound, tugging on his cloak in the deep and shallow scenes, feeling that he was going to melt.
The two of them were panting slightly, and they were afraid that the other would cry out, so they kissed each other neck by neck.The bed shook slightly, and Xiao Chiye’s energy was so strong that he could only grind it if he couldn’t hit it.
Xiao Chiye whispered into the kiss: “Scream again.”
Shen Zechuan said: “Ce… um…”
Xiao Chiye laughed, put a little more force, and said, “Ce’an, um, what does Ce’an mean?”
Shen Zechuan couldn’t bear it and didn’t dare to answer any more words.Xiao Chiye put his fingers into He’s mouth, messed with it for a moment, and then hugged He tightly from behind, so deep that Shen Zechuan almost groaned.
After a heavy sweat, Xiao Chiye woke up thinking about Shen Zechuan, and only did it once.The place was not good, and the time was not good either. Shen Zechuan’s flush did not subside for a while, and he did not even want to move his fingers when wiping.

Liang Miaoshan saw that the sky was getting dark, so he organized the books for the past few days and prepared to report them when he met Shen Zechuan.he went around the place and saw Ge Qingqing having tea under the awning. He said hello and asked: “Is Mr. Zhenfu feeling better today? I have sorted out the accounts and came here to report the details.”
Ge Qingqing said nothing, but Chen Yang came down and said, “Master Zhenfu has just recovered from his serious illness, and the epidemic has just gone away. I am also worried about infecting you, so I will not see any guests today. If it is convenient, can I send it in for you later?”
Liang Miaoshan was ordered by Shen Zechuan to keep accounts, and he did not dare to be careless. He only said: “It’s fine, sir. It’s inconvenient today. I’m sorry to see you tomorrow.”
Chenyang nodded, and Liang Miaoshan took his leave.Before he left, he saw that there was no one else around the house, so he knew that it was a formality and that there were guards watching over him.Jin Yiwei was on an errand, and Shen Zechuan was appointed by the emperor. He didn’t dare to look more and ask more questions, so he left in a hurry.
Xiao Chiye opened the curtain and came out, changed into a clean robe, put on a pair of half-worn boots, and still carried Shen Zechuan’s ivory fan in his hand, and asked, “Are you paying the bill?”
“I asked him to come back tomorrow,” Chen Yang said.
Xiao Chiye walked down the stairs, he felt refreshed, and the anger in his eyebrows in the past few days had dissipated, and asked: “Has the tiger’s fever gone?”
“I’m back now. I’m energetic. I ate a lot this morning. I want to pay my respects to the master. I also asked him to come back tomorrow.”
“I’m going to see him.” Xiao Chiye weighed the fan and said, “The water on the street has receded and the sky has cleared up. If Zhaosu Temple can’t stay for two days, there should be news from the palace. Where is Xi Hongxuan?”
“I’m awake, but the people in the Eighth Battalion are keeping a close eye on me and won’t let others see me.”
“Don’t worry,” Xiao Chiye smiled half-heartedly, “It’s time for the emperor to wake up. Xi Hongxuan can’t escape this time. The Metropolitan Procuratorate is waiting to intervene.”
The official communication has been cleared, the epidemic has not spread, everything has been done beautifully, and the people above have not suffered.he Xiao Ce’an is now well-rested and well-rested, but he is exhausted of energy and people.
Chen Yang stood by the side, and Xiao Chiye suddenly asked: “Have you finished the earrings I asked you to get last time? I’ll pick them up when I return home in a few days.”
Chen Yang said: “I asked you to do it as soon as possible. It should be fine by now. But there is no reason for the master to go alone? I will just go there.”
“I have to take this thing myself,” Xiao Chiye threw the ivory fan in his hand to him, “Let’s go see the Tantai Tiger.”
