After seeing off the guests, the two brothers returned to the mansion side by side.

Su Zhou looked at Su Shi, who was almost as tall as him, and suddenly felt a little emotional.

"It seems like we've never walked together like this before?"

Su Shi smiled and said, "In the past, when I knew you were at home, I would rather get drunk outside."

"What now?"

Su Shi shrugged: "Now I find that the wine outside is no better than the one at home, and my relatives are much more important than my friends outside. And no matter how soft and comfortable the bed outside is, I don't sleep with my dog." The nest is solid.”

"Do you want to drink tonight?"

"As long as someone treats me, I usually won't refuse. But..."

"But what?"

Su Shi said, "Brother, it's not a good time to drink today."

"Why?"

Su Shi sighed: "Because as long as you drink today, you will definitely get drunk."

Su Zhou laughed, and the laughter almost echoed throughout the general's mansion.

After the laughter ended, Su Zhou said deliberately: "Do you think you can get me drunk just by yourself?"

Su Shi smiled and said, "Even if your ability to drink is ten times better than mine, I bet you will be the one who gets drunk tonight."

Su Zhou looked at him sideways and suddenly said, "Now you seem to have never lost a bet?"

Su Shi nodded: "It's really not easy to win against me."

Su Zhou said loudly: "I'll take this bet." Then he smiled and said: "Don't worry, even if you lose, I will send you back to your kennel."

Su Zhou lost, and lost miserably because he was completely drunk.

With the same amount, he would never have gotten drunk before, but today Su Zhou got drunk very quickly.

Su Shi drank no less than him, but he was still as sober as a rabbit in March.

Seeing Su Zhou being carried away by four people like a dead pig, Su Shi couldn't help but touch his nose and said with a bitter smile, "Why do you have to bet with me?"

Lin Mo stood aside, his dull face seemed to have been suddenly punched, and he couldn't believe what he saw.

He did not expect that the second young master could drink so well, nor did he expect that the first young master could be so drunk.

The eldest son has always been a very restrained person, but tonight he seemed to have completely let himself go. Not only did he drink impatiently, but he also drank very quickly.

So he gets drunk quickly.

Seeing Lin Mo's surprised look, Su Shi smiled and said, "Do you think I got him drunk?"

"Is not it?"

Su Shi sighed: "Even without me tonight, he will get drunk alone. It's really not suitable for a person to drink when he is happy."

"Why?" Lin Mo asked blankly.

"Because when a person is too happy, his whole spirit will be in an extremely high state. At this time, coupled with the effect of alcohol, it will be difficult not to get drunk."

Lin Mo suddenly said: "But if a person is happy and does not drink a little wine, it is like not setting off firecrackers during the New Year. He always feels that something is missing."

Su Shi couldn't help but glance sideways at Lin Mo and said with a smile: "That's true. As long as a person is happy, he will be happy even if he is drunk."

Lin Mo hesitated and said: "I see that the second young master is not very happy today."

Su Shi said: "Today is no different for me than before, so I won't be any happier than before."

Lin Mo asked: "When will the second young master be as happy as the eldest young master tonight?"

Su Shi was stunned, then thought about it and said, "Maybe when my wish is fulfilled."

Lin Mo asked seriously: "What is the second young master's wish?"

Su Shi was stunned again, then touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "Why do you always ask me some questions that I can't answer tonight?"

When Su Shi was lying on the bed, he suddenly wished that he would be the one drunk tonight because he had insomnia.

The bed was still soft and the surroundings were still quiet, but no matter how Su Shi adjusted his breathing and sleeping position, he still couldn't fall asleep.

When he counted the 3,780 sheep, Su Shi suddenly sat up and murmured to himself, "I really should change my guard."

The next day, Su Shi rarely got up early to exercise as usual because he fell asleep just before dawn.

No one disturbed him. Because when Su Zhou woke up, he found that Su Shi didn't get up and jog, nor did he do any weird movements. He thought he was drunk last night, so he ordered everyone not to disturb his rest.

So when Su Shi woke up, it was already past time.

Then he was in a bad mood. Because when he got up, not only was he dizzy, his back ached, but he was also hungry.

What's even more terrible is that he now has to take a carriage for more than an hour to go to the Flower Garden to attend the invitation of the Fifth Prince Zhou Qi.

Although there was a carriage, Su Shi would rather walk. Although Lin Mo was very good at driving, Su Shi was still afraid that his bones would fall apart from the jolt.

Seeing that Su Shi refused to get on the carriage, Lin Mo had no choice but to get out of the carriage and lead two horses to slowly follow him.

It wasn't until Su Shi had walked for nearly half an hour and slowly ate a bowl of noodles that he boarded the carriage.

Lin Mo shook his hands, and the carriage finally started running, heading towards Nanping Street.

When the lanterns came on, Su Shi's carriage finally drove into Nanping Street, and Lin Mo drove straight to the front of the flower shop.

Before Su Shi got out of the car, the guests at the flower shop saw the general's carriage and hurriedly came up to greet it. Su Shi got off the carriage and immediately heard a charming voice ringing in his ears: "Qu Yuenu of the Nu family has met Mr. Su."

"Qu Yuenu?" Su Shi was startled for a moment, and then followed the sound. A snow-white face with melon seeds appeared in front of Su Shi. The slender eyebrows were full of youthfulness, and the dark eyes seemed to be able to speak.

Qu Yuenu smiled and said: "The slave family is leading the way for the young master. Please follow the slave family upstairs."

"Upstairs?"

Qu Yuenu said: "Today Mr. Zhou entertained Mr. Su at the Snow Pavilion on the third floor. He also specially invited Zhong Lingyao and everyone to accompany him."

"Zhong Lingyao?"

Su Shi was stunned for a moment and slowed down involuntarily. Now he seems to be particularly sensitive to the characters who appear in the Prince's case, and he will feel a strange mood when he hears his name.

"Is Master Zhou here?"

Qu Yuenu shook his head and said: "Master Zhou will arrive at five o'clock at 1 o'clock. Master, please go upstairs and rest for a while."

Su Shi touched his nose and said, "Miss Zhong and I are not familiar with each other, so we'd better wait for Mr. Zhou to come upstairs together."

Qu Yuenu wanted to persuade her, but Su Shi suddenly asked, "Where's Sister Cuinong? Why isn't she welcoming the guests today?"

Hearing Su Shi mention Cuinong, a trace of panic flashed across Qu Yuenu's face, but she tried her best to hide it, forced out a smile, and said, "Cuinong is feeling a little unwell today. She is resting in the house."

Su Shi smiled and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, you should take a good rest. Then I won't disturb her."

Just as Qu Yuenu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Su Shi said again: "Invite sisters Chenshuang and Huafu over. It's been a long time since I drank with sister Chenshuang and listened to sister Huafu playing the piano."

Unexpectedly, Qu Yuenu didn't seem to hear Su Shi's words and just whispered, "Master, please follow me upstairs."

When she was about to go to Su Shi, she saw Su Shi looking at her coldly. She felt panicked, knelt on the ground and said in fear: "Please forgive me, Master."

Su Shi said calmly: "You haven't offended me, so how can you forgive me? I just want to know where the three sisters Cuinong, Chenshuang and Huafu are now?"
