After the Ren family mother and daughter put down the sobering soup, they went back to the house to rest at the urging of the Ren family head...
The five people present had all drank a lot, but they all had a good capacity for drinking. For them, the purpose of the sobering soup was to produce fluids and quench thirst.
After seeing the hangover soup, Gu Ning'an took a porcelain spoon and scooped it up, and saw no less than dozens of ingredients.
Orange segments, kudzu rice, green plums, hawthorn cakes, lilies, snow pears... so many ingredients are combined into such a fragrant bowl of "Eight Immortals Hangover Soup".
When I scooped up a spoonful and put it into my mouth, I first felt the sweet and sour taste of glutinous rice, followed by the aroma of orange peel and orange segments pouring into my nose, and then the unusual sweetness formed by the condensation of various ingredients.
After taking a sip of the hangover soup, you will feel extremely refreshed.
Gu Ning'an smiled and said: "The taste of this soup is really good. I have only heard about it before, but I have never tasted the Eight Immortals Sobering Up Soup..."
"Mr. Gu likes to drink. Let them cook some tomorrow." Head Ren said with a smile as he chewed the orange segments.
Gu Ning'an waved her hand and said, "No trouble, I want to try cooking it myself someday."
Hearing this, the head of the Ren family laughed and continued to drink the soup.
For a moment, the only sound left in the dining hall was the sound of people slurping up their soup.
"Master, Hou Si has something to ask for." A voice asking for permission suddenly sounded outside the dining hall.
Gu Ning'an heard the voice seemed familiar, and looked out the door following the sound. Isn't the man bending outside the same body the thin man who followed them that day?
"Come in." The head of the Ren family said without raising his head.
As soon as Hou Si heard this, he walked in quickly. When he came to the side of the head of the Ren family, he went over and said something.
After hearing this, the head of the Ren family's brows changed from relaxed to a little frowned, and he waved away Hou Si. He put down the porcelain spoon, cleared his throat and said: "Everyone, the Sun family sent someone to send news... ."
"Mr. Gu, you humiliated Sun Xuan many times at the poetry conference... He was so angry that he wanted to deal with you as well."
"The head of the Sun family said that for my sake, he decided to teach you a little lesson... You are not allowed to leave Jiangling Mansion within seven days. If you leave within seven days, you will wait to go to Huangquan Road."
"Seven days later, after Xunshan makes his choice, we will decide whether you can leave alive..."
"This matter...isn't it a big deal or a small matter? Why don't you just make do with it and live in this small courtyard for seven days? After Xunshan and Yue'er have spent seven days, they can be together. leave?"
"Tsk tsk!" Gu Ning'an seemed not to have heard it. After taking a bite of the hawthorn cake, he couldn't help but sigh: "Sour and sweet."
Wei Hai remained silent, but the "sucking" sound of drinking soup became louder and louder...
"Extremely arrogant!" After the old beggar was silent for a moment, he slammed the table and raised his eyes with disheveled hair, like an angry old lion!
The head of the Ren family looked at him, and after seeing clearly his appearance under his disheveled hair, he couldn't help but choke on the soup he just drank!
"Ahem! Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!"
A violent cough suddenly sounded, and Patriarch Ren beat his chest and feet while coughing. Seeing this, Li Xunshan quickly stood up and said with concern: "Uncle Ren, please drink slowly."
Wei Hai glanced at the old beggar and said helplessly: "Old Man Wen, could you please stop being so surprised? It would make the head of the family choke with fear."
"I'm sorry." The angry-eyed old beggar felt embarrassed for a moment, and the anger he had just aroused unconsciously subsided a bit.
The head of the Ren family waved his hands and said: "It's okay, it's okay. I choked myself." While waving his hands, the head of the Ren family stood up, picked up a pot of tea, poured a cup for Li Xunshan beside him, and then gave it to Wei Hai in turn. , Gu Ningan also poured a glass.
When he finally reached the old beggar's side, he poured tea with one hand and put his other hand on the old beggar's back. He said with a smile: "Mr. Wen, don't be angry. As the saying goes, if you endure the calm for a while and take a step back, the sea and the sky will be brighter, and you will have great momentum." , naturally have the capital to be arrogant."
The old beggar tapped his finger on the table, and the master of the house stopped his hand at the right moment, filling the cup with just enough tea.
Respect people when you are full of wine, and drive them away when you are full of tea. This principle is the same everywhere.
"Yo!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it on purpose. It was a mistake if I didn't pay attention!"
Realizing that he had accidentally poured too much tea, Master Ren wanted to pour the tea and give the old beggar another cup.
"Hey, we don't follow so many rules." As he said that, the old beggar picked up the teacup steadily, took a small sip, and then drank the rest of the tea.
Looking away from the old beggar's face, Master Ren seemed to have thought of something and said again: "Everyone, please stay here today. The servants have already packed up the side rooms."
After everyone heard this, they all looked at each other and thanked the head of the Ren family.
Soon, at the greeting of the head of the family, the maids who had retreated came in one after another and sent Gu Ning'an and the others to their respective rooms one by one.
...In the middle of the night, insects were chirping, and the entire Jiangling Mansion was shrouded in darkness. The sky was cloudy, and the bright moon appeared and disappeared.
Gu Ningan sat in front of the writing desk, picked up a langhao pen, dipped it in freshly ground ink, and started writing in front of the scroll.
Soon, four big words suddenly appeared on a scroll: [Peace and peace]
Without any pause, Gu Ningan opened the second scroll and wrote four big words in one breath: [Hundred Years of Good Couple]
Putting down the brush, Gu Ning'an lowered her head and blew gently on the two scrolls, and the wet ink marks on them suddenly became dry.
After rolling up the two scrolls, he casually placed them on the desk.
Squeak!
There was an extremely faint sound of the door opening outside the house, and the sound was even much quieter than the chirping of insects.
Gu Ning'an looked to the right side of the room, then stood up and went out, and happened to see the old beggar who had just walked into the yard.
"Uncle Wen, where are you going at this late hour?"
The old beggar didn't expect that Gu Ning'an was still awake at this time and came out to stop him. He turned around and said with a naive smile: "I'm not afraid of Mr. Gu's joke. I haven't slept on a bed in the past twenty years, so I really can't sleep. "
"We just want to go out and find a place where we can sleep well."
Upon hearing this, Gu Ning'an smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I can't sleep either, why don't we go out together?"
"How can this be done?" The old beggar hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I am a wild boar who cannot eat fine chaff. Mr. Gu is different from me... It is still damp and cold outside at night. You go out now, so don't get sick from the cold." ”
Gu Ning'an stepped forward and pulled up the old beggar, and said with a smile: "I've lived in the mountains and forests, but I'm not afraid of the cold and wet."
The old beggar looked embarrassed and said helplessly: "Hey, Mr. Gu, why are you so stubborn..."
Just as they reached the courtyard gate, a deep voice sounded: "You two, stay!"
