Su Wan wanted to think about whether this was inappropriate, but seeing someone preparing for the banquet, she shut up after thinking about it.
That's all, she didn't understand the customs of the Western Wei Dynasty, so she didn't bother to speak, so as not to disturb everyone's interest.
The banquet was quickly placed, and the group moved to the east chamber to sit down and have a drink.
Mrs. Da Xi asked someone to open a jar of precious wine, and each of them filled it, and then said to Su Wan:
"I'm afraid you have never tasted this wine. This wine is made from a kind of fruit here called Hongguo. It has a long and sweet taste, and is not easily intoxicating. Women especially like to drink it. We call it Shaohua Brewing. "
"It takes three years for a jar of Shaohua wine to become a fine wine. The years of Shaohua wine in a girl's family are only a few years in a hurry."
"Here, drink some and try."
Su Wan tried to take a sip. It tasted really good. The wine smelled strong but not strong. The taste was sweet and long. If you wanted to have a few drinks, it was indeed a good choice.
"good."
Mrs. Da Xi sat there and drank half the glass slowly, then gently shook the remaining wine in the glass. Her red lips were as red as a peony in full bloom.
After a long time, she raised her glass to everyone: "Come, let's have a drink."
Everyone had a drink together, and then sat down to eat and chat.
The whole hall was full of joy and the atmosphere was lively. The ladies were very happy when they exchanged glasses. Su Wan drank several glasses with them and was a little tipsy when the banquet was over.
"You really don't have the capacity to drink. Women like us from the Western Wei Dynasty can drink a pot of Shaohua Brew without any problem."
She really doesn't drink well. In the past, she only drank one or two glasses of fruit wine when drinking with others. Otherwise, if she was in the mood for leisure, she would drink a few glasses with Li Lin. This was the first time she drank like this outside.
But it wasn't considered drunk. She was still sober, but she couldn't drink anymore. If she drank any more, she would really become drunk.
Su Wan rolled up her sleeves and said, "I really can't drink well. I can drink a few drinks, but if I drink more, I'll get drunk."
"How can you do this if you can't drink? You need to practice more. If you don't even know how to drink, then half of the interest in life will be lost. Next time we go out for a drink, I will definitely invite you."
Su Wan thanks you Bu Min.
In fact, she is not that carefree and unrestrained person. Her biggest hobby on weekdays is probably shopping and eating delicious food. She only needs to do this once in a while. She can't bear it if she comes here all the time.
"I'm afraid this opportunity will be rare. I'm too lazy to go out in winter. I feel too cold. When spring comes next year, I don't know if I'll still be in Meicheng."
Someone asked: "I heard that you went to the capital before, and now you have come back to Meicheng to spend the winter. It's a good time to see the winter scenery of Meicheng. When spring warms up, where do you want to go?"
"Maybe I'll go back to Dongzhao, or maybe I'll have a look again."
"It's a shame to go back. I still want to have a few more drinks with you."
All the ladies felt it was a pity. Although Su Wan's temperament was different from theirs, she was extremely thoughtful. She was casual and kind to others. It was extremely comfortable to get along with her.
"There is no banquet in the world that never ends. If you are destined to gather together, just cherish the moment. The rest is empty. I only wish you all well in the future."
The group of people separated at the door, each got into the carriage and went home.
It gets dark early in winter, and it's already dark when we go out. Si's house is in the east of the city, and Lan Xiyuan is in the west of the city. They are quite far apart. They light up lanterns halfway along the way.
Suichuan drove the carriage on the road. As he passed the street, the shops on both sides were brightly lit, and one or two snowflakes fell from the sky. Although it was only one or two, it was indeed snow.
He let out a small sigh, and then said to the people in the carriage: "Madam, Miss Sang, thank you, Miss, it's snowing outside..."
The people inside heard the sound and someone opened the car curtain, revealing his head. It was Xie Si'an.
"Snowing?"
"Is it really snowing? So early?"
Xiao Sang stuck his head out from the other side of the car curtain, looked at the occasional snowflakes falling from the sky, and exclaimed: "It's raining, it's really snowing."
The season in the Western Wei came almost a month earlier than that in the Eastern Zhao. For example, snow in the Imperial City of Eastern Zhao had to wait until November. It was still very cold in the first month, but in the first month of the Western Wei, spring warmth had already begun.
Su Wan opened the window of the carriage. The window was a double-layered lattice. It could be pulled over to block the cold wind in winter, just like the wooden lattice windows of early farmhouses.
A cold wind blew in from the window, and her drunkenness was almost blown away. She looked up for a long time, and then she saw snowflakes falling from the sky, very few.
"Madam, it's really snowing." Xiao Sang came back with a smile on his face, "When it starts snowing, the plum blossoms will bloom."
We have heard too much about the winter in Meicheng and have been looking forward to it for a long time.
"Yes, the plum blossoms are about to bloom."
Xiao Sang felt a little regretful: "It would be great if the young master was here, so I could watch the snow with my wife."
Su Wan also felt a little regretful that she couldn't watch the first snowfall of the year with him, but it was just a small regret and nothing. After all, business was more important.
"It's just that it's too late for this one. We can always watch it together later."
They always spend a long time together, year after year, and can watch together every year.
Xiao Sang pulled out the lattice of the car window: "It's cold, madam, don't look at it. It's just one or two o'clock of snow now, and you can't see anything. We'll see tomorrow."
Su Wan hummed, sat back on the wooden couch, and rested against the soft pillow.
She was wearing a wool cloak and holding a hand stove in her hand. The wind outside was very cold, but she was warm and a little drunk, so she felt a little trapped.
I rested for a while in a daze. When I woke up again, the carriage had already arrived at the door of Lanxi Garden. When I got off the car, there was more snow falling from the sky than before, and some scattered in front of the door, with patches of white snow. Immaculate.
"It's going to snow, so give the concierge some extra charcoal. On weekdays, no one will come, so the door will be closed. Just leave one or two people at the concierge to guard it."
On weekdays, the gates are open and there are people guarding them, but in winter when it snows and it is too cold, it is normal for each mansion to close its gates and leave one or two people guarding the gatehouse.
"Let the kitchen make some cold-repelling soup. If anyone wants to drink it, go to the kitchen and get it."
"Let someone buy some mutton and come back."
"yes."
The snow fell overnight, the cold wind blew, and the trees rustled.
When I open the window tomorrow, the snow has not stopped, and a layer of snow has fallen on the ground in the yard. The branches of the two plum trees in the corner of the yard are red, and there are one or two flowers. The ground blooms on the branches.
Snow falls all over the garden and plum blossoms bloom.
