The New Year is coming, and this is the first New Year the three girls have encountered since they came out of the valley.
Luoyang city is decorated with lanterns and colors everywhere, giving it a lively festive atmosphere. The branches of the Bai family in Luoyang have tried their best to distance themselves from the main family in recent years, but with this war, they saw clearly the strength of the main family, so they all joined in to show their goodwill. As a result, the Bai family was rarely lively and had the atmosphere of celebrating the New Year.
Li Fenglan and others took advantage of it, and they also had fun at Bai's house for a few days.
On the thirtieth day, Li Fenglan asked Amber to take the jade back. Jade's body is now fine, but her skills are not as good as before, and she has recovered at most 20%.
On the evening of the 30th, the size of the Xianren Hall was slightly shabby compared to the Bai family, with only one sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner. However, no one had any complaints. They were from a small family, and their standards were certainly not as good as those of the Bai family.
Li Fenglan, who had drank wine last time, was no longer afraid of drinks. She had a few drinks with everyone at the banquet, but she was still thinking about her drunken gaffe, so she didn't dare to drink more. Jade's injury has not yet recovered, but she just spent time with everyone and talked very little during the dinner. Amber spoke less and never stopped talking. Li Fenglan, Fei Cui, and Tang Bailing were all shocked when they saw Amber stuffing things into their mouths. Why didn't their stomachs bulge when they put a lot of things into their mouths? Is she Pixiu? Tang Bailing is a veteran, and she knows more about what goes on at the wine table than anyone else here. However, due to her current status, she can only keep a distance and not get too close to other people.
None of the three men are heavy drinkers, but as men, it's inevitable to drink a few more drinks when it's busy. Although Zhu Mingyu is a Taoist priest, he does not avoid drinking. He is usually a generous person, and he is even more enthusiastic when he is in a mood. Tan Wushuang was forced to drink by his own father in the valley. Now no one is watching, so he doesn't care about drinking. He is naturally good at drinking and never gets drunk no matter how much he drinks. After Mu Yun was polite to everyone for two drinks, he changed to Chen Wu. When Chen Wu first came out, he sneered at the drinks and said that it would be fine if he drank dozens of kilograms of them. Who knew that after eight ounces of wine, he would get into the table? Below.
Even the concierge received a jug of fine wine and several delicious dishes.
The entire leisure hall was filled with laughter and laughter. All the unhappy things in the past six months must be forgotten at least for today.
The banquet ended at Yinshi - in fact, several girls went back to rest early because of the dark weather, and Zhu Mingyu and the others continued drinking until Yinshi. Of course, if I had to say it, it was Zhu Mingyu and Tan Wushuang who fought till the end of the day. Chen Wu would occasionally wake up and drink two drinks, and then continue to sleep under the table.
At dawn on the first day of the new year, Hu Bo and Li Fenglan came to the lobby. Zhu Mingyu and the others were already drunk and unconscious.
Amber asked Li Fenglan in a low voice: "Is the wine delicious?"
Li Fenglan shook her head: "It's spicy and strong, and it tastes terrible."
"Then why do they like drinking so much?"
"Who knows what the men think... wake them up before they freeze."
Only Zhu Mingyu woke up the three of them. The other two, one lying under the table and the other lying on the table, were sleeping soundly. It looked like they couldn't wake up even if they cut off their heads.
Zhu Mingyu opened her red eyes and asked, "W-when?"
Li Fenglan said angrily: "It's the first day of the new year, Taoist Master Zhu, you are a monk, why don't you know how to exercise restraint? You can drink endlessly."
Zhu Mingyu rubbed his head and explained: "When the emotion comes... When the emotion comes, you will naturally drink more."
Li Fenglan said: "Okay, go back and rest quickly."
Zhu Mingyu had no choice but to go back to the room to rest angrily.
The remaining two people couldn't wake up no matter what. Hu Bo put Tan Wushuang, who weighed more than 180 kilograms, on his shoulders and said, "I'll get Fatty Tan back. Mu Yun, you can figure out a way for yourself."
Li Fenglan patiently knelt down, patted Chenwu's face, and shouted: "Chenwu! Wake up!"
No movement.
"Muyun! Wake up!"
Then he opened his eyes.
Mu Yun sat on the ground, rubbed his head, and said painfully: "How much did you drink? Why does my head hurt so much?"
Li Fenglan said angrily: "Who knows how much you drank, let the morning mist come out."
"I can't wake him up..."
"Can you stand up?"
Mu Yun stood up unsteadily, looked at the bright light outside the door, and said in surprise: "It's already dawn..."
Li Fenglan said angrily: "Go to bed quickly... We must make a rule from now on. No drinking is allowed in the Leisure Hall."
Mu Yun smiled sheepishly.
At this time, Lamei suddenly ran in and said to Li Fenglan: "Miss, Third Young Master Bai is here."
"Bai Shuyu?" Li Fenglan wondered, "What are you doing here so early in the morning?"
While he was talking, Bai Shuyu had already entered the gate, with an extremely bright smile on his face.
"It's another year to get rid of the old year, Li Fenglan, congratulations on the new year."
Li Fenglan asked: "You came here so early in the morning just to pay New Year greetings?"
"Of course not," Bai Shuyu opened the folding fan in his hand, "I haven't seen Taoist Zhu and the others for many days. Come and see them."
"It's not even the beginning of spring yet. Wouldn't it be cold if you fanned yourself? ... Don't look at it. They all drank too much last night and were all sleeping in the house."
"It's Chinese New Year, so you should drink more... You can go shopping in Luoyang in the evening. It's very lively on the first night of the Lunar New Year."
"Well, we agreed with Kohaku yesterday that we will go for a walk today."
"Oh, really...where's Jade?"
Li Fenglan sneered in her heart: Can't you hide your tail? You're just being polite, it's just for Jade.
"Jade hasn't gotten up yet, what's wrong?"
"Ah, nothing."
"It's really nothing?"
"It's really nothing. You still can't trust me?"
"If nothing else, I will close the door to see the guests away. Yesterday, the cups and dishes in the lobby were messed up, and I still have to clean them up. Third Young Master, I won't see you off."
"Hey, hey, hey! Stop it!" Bai Shuyu was a little anxious, "There is still something wrong."
Li Fenglan curled her lips and said, "I knew you had something going on, so tell me."
"Actually, I'm here to pick up Jade."
Li Fenglan was shocked and asked, "What did you say?"
"Take...Jade's..."
"Let me tell you," Li Fenglan said a little annoyed, "Jade is from our Leisure Hall, right? I'm just recuperating at your house. I'm coming back to celebrate the New Year. How come it's like we borrowed it from your house? I haven't eaten breakfast yet. Are you going to take people away?"
Bai Shuyu hurriedly explained: "It's not me, it's mainly my sister. She bought a lot of clothes for Jade and asked her to go back and try them on."
The word "go back" made Li Fenglan very uncomfortable.
"Then why don't you just send the clothes over?"
"I'm afraid that it won't fit her properly. Isn't this going back and forth a waste of time?"
Li Fenglan finally couldn't help but laugh and asked in a low voice: "Bai Shuyu, are you really attracted to our jadeite?"
Bai Shuyu saw that there was no one around and replied in a low voice: "Indeed."
"You're quite a bachelor. But you came in too hasty. Jade just stayed for one night, are you willing to torment her?"
Bai Shuyu smiled "hehe", scratched the back of his head and said, "I'm not to the point where I don't see you for a day like three autumns. I came here early mainly because I was afraid that you wouldn't let me go."
Li Fenglan rolled her eyes at him: "If Feicui wants to go to your house, can I stop him? You have never been beaten by Feicui."
Bai Shuyu said proudly: "It's okay, she can't beat me now."
Li Fenglan was too lazy to pay attention to him and said, "You go to the lobby and wait. I'll go see if Jade is up."
Jade got up early, she didn't have the habit of sleeping in. At this moment, I am sitting in the room, holding a book of Jianghu stories in my hand, reading it with gusto.
Li Fenglan opened the door and came in, saying, "Bai Shuyu is here."
Jade said without raising her head: "Let him wait for a while, I will leave later."
"Do you really want to go back to the Bai family with him??" Li Fenglan said loudly, "Can't our Xianren Hall satisfy you? Or do you think you have become the third grandmother of the Bai family?"
Jade raised her eyebrows and said, "It's not like the third grandma of the Bai family can't do it either."
. "
Li Fenglan came close to her and asked in a low voice: "You're not really... interested in him, are you?"
"Not yet."
"What do you mean not yet?"
"Bai Shuyu is good-looking, has temperament, is smart, and has a family in his heart. He is a good match for me, the sword fairy's daughter. Isn't it good? Maybe you will like him in the future? Didn't your aunt say so? Send it to me. We can’t let go of those who come to our door.”
"I don't know which of us is her niece."
"Besides, you're going to Chang'an after the Chinese New Year, right? I'm not in good shape to go with you now, and I have to live with the Bai family."
"Then we didn't say we were leaving now. This is your home after all. I came back yesterday to celebrate the Chinese New Year and then left. If Aunt Zhou knew about it, she would definitely say you have no rules... Besides," Li Fenglan lowered her voice again, "You and me now If he leaves, won't it make him think that you are obedient? The more obedient a woman is, the more likely a man will be fooled. Don't you understand this truth? "
Jade frowned, put down her notebook, and said, "It seems to make sense... Then go and tell him that I'm staying in Xianren Hall these days. If I want to go back to Bai's house, I will notify him in advance."
"Hmph," Li Fenglan sneered, "The word 'hui' is used well. Maybe you have already fallen in love with her and consider yourself the wife of the Bai family."
…
When Li Fenglan told Bai Shuyu that Feicui would be staying at Xianren Hall for the next few days, Bai Shuyu decisively asked the servants who followed him to go home. He said that his internal strength had reached a bottleneck and needed Feicui's guidance, so he would stay at Xianren Hall for a few days.
Li Fenglan was helpless about Bai Shuyu's shamelessness, so she had to agree to let him stay.
Li Fenglan also took this opportunity to discuss the trip to Chang'an with Bai Shuyu.
"You don't have to worry about going to Chang'an," Bai Shuyu said. "We have people in Chang'an."
"Who?"
"Taoist Master Zhu."
When she mentioned Zhu Mingyu, Li Fenglan understood clearly: "Yes, Taoist Zhu and his family are wealthy businessmen in Guanzhong."
"More than that," Bai Shuyu said, "Qingfeng Temple is in Zhongnan Mountain. Qingfeng Temple has the final say for hundreds of miles around Zhongnan Mountain. With Qingfeng Temple in charge, no one in the surrounding world dares to make any mistakes."
Li Fenglan said: "If you say this, I won't have any worries."
"Li Fenglan," Bai Shuyu asked, "when do you plan to take action?"
Li Fenglan thought for a while and replied: "I haven't thought about it."
"You can't be cruel, can you?"
"A lot of people will die. I sent everyone from the Xianren Hall back to Chaolan Valley because I was afraid something would happen to them. Now I can only rely on you, the Bai Family and the Thorn Sect... I can't bear to let you die."
Bai Shuyu looked at Li Fenglan, and the expression on his face began to turn disgusting.
Li Fenglan asked: "What does your expression mean?"
"Li Fenglan, pretend, keep pretending. Are you testing me?"
Li Fenglan smiled "hehe" and said, "The third young master is indeed very smart and cannot deceive you."
"So you want to wait for your men to be in position?"
"I originally thought about talking about it in a few days," Li Fenglan stood up and closed the door of the lobby. "Not only the people who lived in Xianren Hall, but also many masters in the valley also mobilized. After that battle, your Bai family returned to Taking control of Luoyang, other forces and some surrounding hidden stakes also retreated after hearing the news. Chaolan Valley is no longer under surveillance, and my uncles can also come out."
