The night is quiet.
Chen Changsheng carried Yun Xiang, who was sleeping, back to the room. After the Tang Mansion's maid made some arrangements, he withdrew.
Back to the pavilion alone.
Sitting here quietly, the chirping of cicadas at night not only did not make the night noisy, but made it more quiet.
The old man in green shirt and white hair sat in the pavilion, holding his chin and staring at the lake.
The stars and moon in the lake are swallowed up by swimming fish, but they are nothing but illusions.
The gentleman shook his legs slightly, appearing a little frivolous.
There seemed to be something humming in his mouth, but it was not brisk, and seemed a bit sad.
But there was some rustling movement behind him.
Chen Changsheng paused and looked back.
But he saw a little girl in red walking forward looking left and right.
"Where did the thief come from?"
Chen Changsheng said.
This sentence startled the sneaky figure.
Yu Hongjin was about to run away, but was stopped.
"Why does this voice sound familiar?"
She looked back and saw an old man with white hair in a green shirt in the pavilion, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, Mr. Chen, why are you trying to scare me?"
She stepped forward with an angry mouth and looked at Mr. Chen with her hands folded.
Chen Changsheng said: "You are so sneaky, what are you doing?"
Yu Hongjin sat down and said, "Looking for a drink."
After saying that, she shushed again, stepped forward and whispered: "Sir, please keep your voice down. Sister Yun has ordered the servants not to allow me to drink. If someone finds out, my butt will bloom again."
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid that Chen will sue you?"
Yu Hongjin looked at Mr. Chen, thought for a while and said, "I'll give you half."
Chen Changsheng was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "If you say that, Chen will definitely keep his mouth shut."
Yu Hongjin paused and said, "So you are like this Mr. Chen."
Chen Changsheng laughed and said, "Can't you?"
Yu Hongjin smiled, but she didn't feel bad at all.
Then she said: "Sir, follow me, and you will look out for me later."
Chen Changsheng nodded.
The two acted under the cover of night and quietly sneaked into the Tang Mansion's warehouse and wine cellar.
Yu Hongjin went in to get some wine, while Chen Changsheng was watching outside.
The two divided their labors and cooperated, and fished out a large jar of wine from the warehouse.
They are all aged wines, and Yu Hongjin has a good eye for wine.
But she didn't dare to buy the best wine, nor the inferior one. She wanted to find the kind of good wine that was impartial and not very eye-catching.
"Done yet?"
"I'll find it right now."
"Then hurry up."
"Shh, sir, please keep your voice down, don't invite the servants."
Yu Hongjin came out holding a large jar.
"Let's go."
The two of them slipped out like thieves.
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but laugh, finding it very interesting.
"It seems you do this a lot."
Yu Hongjin hummed twice and said proudly: "We are already familiar with the road."
"You're still proud of yourself."
"Of course, hehe."
The two were drinking in the pavilion. Under the cover of night, Yu Hongjin skillfully took out the wine cup from his arms and placed it on the table.
Completely furnished and ready for use.
Yu Hongjin scooped some out and took a sip, then smacked her lips and said, "Hey, it's good wine."
Then he changed to a larger wine jug, raised his head and drank a jug of wine.
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw her fierce drinking style.
He took a sip, nodded and said, "It's indeed good. It's soft in the mouth, but not thin, and the stamina is more mellow."
Yu Hongjin waved her hand and said, "Just drink and that's it."
In response to Yu Hongjin's drinking method, the two drank one glass after another.
Not long after, Yu Hongjin's face turned red from drinking. She giggled and went to scoop up the wine again.
Chen Changsheng asked: "Do you usually drink alone secretly?"
Yu Hongjin thought for a while and said, "No, Tang Shijing would be with me before, but he went to the border area some time ago."
"He..." Chen Changsheng paused and asked, "Why did he go to the border area?"
Yu Hongjin said: "I heard from Sister Yun that he is going to do business. Who knows, that guy can do whatever he wants."
The words coming out of her mouth felt inexplicably inconsistent.
But she sighed again and said, "But speaking of it, drinking alone is boring."
"You're such a good drinker, but you still find it boring?" Chen Changsheng asked.
Yu Hongjin turned around and said, "Of course, it's boring to talk to yourself."
Chen Changsheng thought about the same truth.
It can only be said that Yu Hongjin has grown up.
"In previous years, you would have been able to drink from midnight until midnight, then take a deep nap, get beaten, and go out to buy wine again at night."
Yu Hongjin looked at Mr. Chen, she thought for a moment and said, "It's really..."
Chen Changsheng laughed.
Yu Hongjin was confused and asked, "Yes, it's different."
She was lost in thought.
Zuo Zuo couldn't understand, so he raised his head and looked at Mr. Chen and asked, "Why is this happening? Sir? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be the case."
Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "Maybe when people grow up, they are no longer satisfied with this."
Yu Hongjin was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and said, "What do you mean?"
Chen Changsheng took a sip of wine and explained with a smile: "It's like a child on the street. When he was a child, a piece of candied fruit might make him happy for the whole day, but when he grows up, he won't feel happy no matter how much he buys. I won’t even look at the candied fruit again, and I don’t think it is a rare thing.”
After hearing this, Yu Hongjin became thoughtful again.
After a while, Youyou sighed.
He looks like an old man.
"well."
Yu Hongjin looked at the lake and said, "It turns out I'm old."
Chen Changsheng laughed after hearing this, reached out and hit her on the head, and said, "You are still pretending to be old."
Yu Hongjin chuckled and didn't care.
"Drink, drink."
While he was drinking, someone came towards this place. He silently avoided the warriors in the darkness of the Tang Mansion and went straight to the outside of the pavilion.
Yu Hongjin regained consciousness for a while and said, "Someone is coming."
Chen Changsheng raised his eyes and looked up.
But he saw the man kneeling down outside the pavilion, his face pressed to the ground, and he didn't say a word.
Yu Hongjin walked out of the pavilion.
She burped and looked down at the man. After a few glances, she looked at Mr. Chen who was walking behind her.
"Sir, who is this person?" Yu Hongjin asked in a low voice.
Chen Changsheng patted her shoulder lightly and said, "Go back first, sir, I will meet you for a drink tomorrow."
Yu Hongjin was stunned after hearing this, and then nodded.
She walked into the pavilion, picked up the wine jar, and left. As she left, she didn't forget to take another look at the kneeling person.
Wait until Yu Hongjin leaves.
Chen Changsheng said: "Get up."
The kneeling man stood up slowly. Under the night, his face was revealed. It was a bit old and full of wrinkles. What attracted more attention was the pair of empty and lifeless eyes.
This is a blind man.
