The banquet that Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang carefully prepared for Su Xian finally began.
At the beginning, everything was as Su Xian expected.
The two women were extremely attentive. One fed Su Xian vegetables, and the other poured her a glass of wine. Su Xian was sandwiched in the middle and could eat and drink as much as she could by turning her neck.
Although his hands were free, they were not idle, but slowly and freely explored both sides. In the past, if both women were present, they would definitely reject Su Xian's rude move.
But this time, the two women had a tacit understanding and didn't take it seriously.
No matter how much Su Xian did, he wouldn't even try to hide.
They were all close to Su Xian, with their legs together, which greatly facilitated Su Xian's "exploration".
Su Xian was naturally happy and decided in his heart that the reason why the two ladies "figured it out" and let him do it was because he had been out for too long...
What's the saying?
A little farewell is better than a wedding!
This is probably the case right now.
He had no doubt at all about the two women's attentiveness...
When Su Xian opened his mouth to eat, he didn't have a moment to spare.
At the invitation of the two girls, he continued to tell the strange stories of his trip to Nanchu.
One thrilling and bizarre story after another aroused the strong interest of the two women.
Even when Su Xian got to the important point, they all forgot to feed them wine and food. One of them paused the tachyon in mid-air, while the other held the wine glass for a long time and never put it down.
…
The wine is half full.
Su Xian was already half full after eating.
At this time, Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang on the left and right looked at each other secretly across Su Xian.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Shuwan put down Kuaizi, picked up a small porcelain bowl, and while ladling soup from a clay pot, she smiled at Su Xian:
"I just heard my husband talk about the affairs of Nanchu. I and Sister Liu were so fascinated that they forgot about this medicinal meal. Fortunately, it is not cold. I will try it while it is hot."
Liu Huixiang also put down her wine glass and half-tilted it into Su Xian's arms. She held the back of Su Xian's chair tightly with one hand and wrapped her other hand around Su Xian's waist.
No matter how you look at it, it has the meaning of "fixing Su Xian to the seat".
But Su Xian was so happy that he didn't expect this at all. He was so happy with Liu Huixiang's intimate gestures that he didn't resist, and hoped that she would hold her tighter.
"The medicinal food cooked by the two ladies must be very delicious. Madam, hurry up and serve it."
Su Xian was overjoyed and grinned from the corners of his mouth to his ears.
When Tang Shuwan scooped up more than half a bowl of medicinal soup and handed it over, he hurriedly reached out to take it...
In fact, he had already noticed the clay pot on the table.
I also noticed the medicinal food inside.
The faint scent of medicine didn't seem to be a problem, which was why Su Xian was so relaxed.
"Husband, sit still and don't move. This medicinal food needs to be fed to me one spoonful at a time. Only after eating it will it be effective." Tang Shuwan smiled softly.
"Okay!" Su Xian was elated and agreed.
His hand gently caressed Liu Huixiang, who was half leaning on him. He opened his mouth slightly and could eat the medicinal food fed by Tang Shuwan herself. Hey, what more could a husband ask for when two wives are like this!
Su Xian was immersed in the joy of happiness.
Finally, a large spoonful of medicinal soup was slowly brought to Su Xian's mouth.
He smelled it subconsciously, and there was no peculiar smell, only a faint aroma of herbs. So without hesitation, he reached forward with his neck and took a large spoonful of medicinal soup into his mouth.
There was still a smile on his face. After swallowing this mouthful of medicinal soup, he was ready to praise the two ladies. He could marry such a virtuous and gentle wife. What more could a husband ask for!
However.
The moment the medicinal soup enters your mouth.
His taste buds were devastated.
bitter!
Extremely painful!
The bitterness can't be described, it just strongly stimulates the taste buds, and there is also a smell of bitter almonds that goes straight to the forehead.
It was like a sharp sword was inserted into the top of the head, stirring constantly and vigorously, turning the whole head into a lake of slurry...
"Husband?" Liu Huixiang, who was half leaning on him, looked nervous and hugged Su Xian and the back of the chair tightly, trying to firmly fix Su Xian on the chair.
"Husband, don't vomit, just swallow it. Just swallow it and you'll be fine." Tang Shuwan also looked nervous.
If she had no other choice, she would not "mutilate" her husband like this, but for the continuation of the Hou family and to have a child, she could only do this.
Besides, this is medicine for treating diseases. Good medicine tastes bitter, but it is not poison.
Su Xian had veins popping out on his forehead. In his two lifetimes, he had never eaten anything so bitter.
He also instantly understood that the reason why the two ladies were so attentive was to feed him this food!
"puff!"
After all, Su Xian still couldn't hold it in.
He directly spat out the bitter stuff in his mouth.
"Husband!" Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang suddenly lost their beauty. Unexpectedly, they were sprayed out at the first mouthful. It seemed that it was a bit difficult for Su Xian to take this medicine obediently.
After Su Xian squirted wildly, he picked up the tea next to him and poured it into his mouth.
The two women knew that this matter could not be solved overnight, so they quickly got something to rinse their mouths with, and asked Su Xian to rinse his mouth happily. Then they ordered someone to bring honey, and Su Xian took a few big mouthfuls of it with a spoon.
After struggling for a while, Su Xian stopped.
There is very little bitter taste left in the mouth.
At this time, he felt like there was a reflection somewhere. He raised his eyes and saw that it was Yang Zhilan, hiding on the beam, silently watching everything happening in the flower hall.
It turned out that just now when Su Xian was fussing, Yang Zhilan was alarmed outside.
She then sneaked into the flower hall to check the situation...
Su Xian's eyes lit up, and his eyes signaled Yang Zhilan not to move yet.
Then he looked at the two ladies and asked with a wry smile: "Madam, why is this medicinal diet so bitter? You must be mistaken. My husband really can't eat it."
"Husband, good medicine tastes bitter. This medicine is indeed a bit bitter." Tang Shuwan advised.
"No more, no more." Su Xian shook his head. Even if it made the two ladies unhappy this time, he would not drink because it was too bitter and too bitter, completely beyond the limits of human beings.
"Husband..." Two women gathered around him, one with bright eyes and the other with an expectant look on his face.
But Su Xian was determined not to drink.
As for women, pampering them is one thing, but you must not let them act recklessly, otherwise they will definitely go to bed in three days.
Seeing Su Xian's resolute attitude, the two women looked at each other secretly, then looked determined, stood up, took a step back, and knelt down directly in front of Su Xian.
They didn't say anything, just kneeling like that.
"What are you doing? Get up quickly."
Su Xian frowned and pulled the two women up.
Although the two women were resolute in attitude, they were naturally unable to compare with Su Xian in terms of physical strength.
Su Xian looked serious and said to them:
"What's the point of this medicinal diet? Tell me honestly. If there is really a need to drink it, I don't need you to kneel down to beg. My husband will drink it himself."
The two women exchanged glances, both looking hesitant.
Their original plan was to secretly cure Su Xian's "hidden disease".
After all, that kind of thing is too embarrassing for a man.
They don't want Su Xian to feel sad.
But now, it seems that it is impossible not to confess.
Furthermore, after telling the husband the truth, although the husband's face will be damaged, for the sake of the Hou Mansion and the two of them, the husband may take the initiative to drink the medicine!
After thinking for a while, the two women looked at each other again, and finally nodded at the same time.
After reaching an agreement, Liu Huixiang, who was slightly older, took the initiative to speak and slowly told the whole story of why they asked Su Xian to drink this medicinal meal...
After Su Xian heard this, his heart, liver, and lungs suddenly ached.
What a cheat!
It turns out that the initiator of everything is actually himself?
The reason why the two women were unable to conceive for a long time was because he gave them "contraceptive pills".
That kind of medicine was invented by Li Qingniu in his early years. It has no side effects. The woman can even improve her beauty after taking it... After all, it has been injected with a lot of nutrients.
The reason why Su Xian did this was that he believed that today's "international situation" is not very clear and not very safe.
If you give birth to a baby that needs careful care, it will be a huge weakness, and it may lead to human tragedy.
inappropriate!
Of course, Su Xian would not tell the two women about this kind of worry and about the "contraceptive pill".
So what method should be thought of to appease the two ladies and at the same time avoid drinking this so bitter medicinal meal?
Su Xian thought that the most urgent task was to get through the current difficulties.
As for how to appease the two women, we can figure it out later.
Thinking of this, Su Xian inadvertently raised his head, glanced at Yang Zhilan who was hiding on the beam, and gave him a look.
Yang Zhilan had been with him for so long and was very familiar with him. She understood what Su Xian meant - destroy the clay pot and the small porcelain bowl filled with medicinal soup!
This time, the problem shifted to Yang Zhilan's hands.
How to do it?
This situation reminded Yang Zhilan of the past, when she squatted on the beam of Su Xian's old house in Yingzhou, Hebei Province, and used a big mouse to bring Su Xian and Liu Huixiang together...
Well, using mice might be a good idea.
However, this is a Hou Mansion, not an old house. Where did the mice come from?
"Husband, that's how it is. I am waiting for the future of the Hou Mansion, and... a little selfish. Even if it is not for us, husband, please think more about the future of the Hou Mansion." Liu Huixiang advised.
"I made a mistake first. If my husband is angry, I am willing to accept the punishment." Tang Shuwan said.
Su Xian put his arms around the two girls and smiled magnanimously: "What's the matter? As a husband, I can understand your feelings. Let's put this matter to rest and don't mention it again in the future."
"Thank you, husband." The two women thanked them in unison, but then, Liu Huixiang asked: "Since your husband knows the truth, then..."
Tang Shuwan took over the conversation and persuaded softly: "Does your husband think it is necessary to drink this medicinal meal?"
Su Xian met the expectant eyes of the two women and couldn't bear it for a moment. Moreover, he seemed to have no reason to object. After all, he knew that he was "sick" and he should be treated if he was sick!
After hesitating for a long time, Su Xian finally said: "Of course...it's time to drink!"
The two women were immediately overjoyed. Now it was better. Their husband's hidden illness could be cured, and so could they...
Su Xian comforted the two women for a few more words, then raised his head to look at Yang Zhilan.
Anyway, Yang Zhilan would find a way to destroy the medicated food on the table. He agreed, but if the medicated food was gone, he couldn't drink it, right?
However, when Su Xian looked up at the beams, he was startled.
Where are people?
The rafters were empty.
Yang Zhilan is missing!
"In that case, husband, please drink it quickly and let it dry later." Tang Shuwan urged. Seeing that Su Xian didn't move, she reached out to hold the small porcelain bowl and prepared to continue feeding.
"Don't move!" Su Xian shouted loudly.
"What's wrong?" Both women looked confused.
"Uh..." Su Xian looked at the beams again, but it was still empty. He had no choice but to use the drag formula first, and with a thought in his mind, he said:
"My husband needs to make preparations. Where is the jar of honey just now? Madam, please feed me a few more mouthfuls."
"good."
Liu Huixiang picked up the jar of honey, scooped it with a spoon and fed it to Su Xian.
Su Xian ate slowly, ate, ate... In the end, his mouth was so sweet that he felt tired, but Yang Zhilan hadn't come back yet!
Do it quickly!
Su Xian shouted in his heart.
He didn't think Yang Zhilan left him and ran away alone.
The reason why Yang Zhilan disappeared must have found a way to do it, it must be!
Finally, Honey Su Xian couldn't eat anymore and waved her hand towards the spoon Liu Huixiang fed her.
Tang Shuwan was standing by, waiting for this moment, and urged her gently and hurriedly: "Husband, it's time to take medicine."
"Um...um...listen to me..." Su Xian rambled on and on, seeing that he could not get across the lake. Fortunately, at this moment, the change finally happened——
A half-grown mouse, squeaking, fell from the sky and landed accurately into the clay pot filled with medicinal food. With a soft pop, the medicinal soup splashed all over the table.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
The mouse screamed violently and flopped in the clay pot.
Because the medicinal food is still very hot, the temperature is very high.
"ah!"
Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang were both frightened. They screamed at the same time, their faces turned pale, and they were frightened.
You know, this is the flower hall where they ate, and a mouse actually fell from the beam and fell directly into the food and wine... Wow, the two women felt nauseated.
The half-grown mouse fluttered in the clay pot for a while, and finally escaped. The hair all over its body was covered with juice, and then it plunged into the small porcelain bowl.
There was a clang sound.
The small porcelain bowl fell to the ground and broke.
The decoction contained inside was also scattered on the floor.
At this point, all the medicinal meals carefully prepared by the two women were destroyed!
"ah!"
"Husband...there are rats...there are rats..."
Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang were so frightened that they jumped and leaned directly on Su Xian, then hid behind and screamed again and again.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's just a mouse, let's see how I deal with it!"
At the critical moment, Su Xian stepped forward and first calmed the two screaming ladies, then took off his coat and balled it into a bag, using it to catch mice.
"Meow!"
At this time, a civet cat fell from the sky and landed directly in front of the mouse.
When the cat saw the mouse, he swung his paw over and knocked the mouse away, rolling out about half a foot away.
General Li followed closely, and before the mouse could turn over, he directly pressed down with one of his paws. The mouse was unable to move and had to obey obediently.
Seeing this, Su Xian was secretly relieved. Yang Zhilan was still reliable. He got a mouse and a cat at the same time. This time he didn't have to dirty his hands.
However, as soon as the raccoon general caught the mouse in his mouth, he vomited it out and made a vomiting gesture. In the end, he ran away without even looking at the mouse.
Su Xian: "..."
