Chapter 120: Guixiangyuan Drunk

Su Yuan folded the paper in his hand a few times, walked over leisurely and handed it to Ji Shian.

He glanced at the pale and extremely weak guards he had just bought, raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Have you all been cured of the poison?"

She had just finished speaking.

A pretty young woman with water stains on her face said softly:

"Master, the poison in our bodies has been removed, don't worry."

Su Yuan felt the voice was familiar, so he looked at her for a second, then pulled out a stack of gold notes that had been exchanged long ago from his sleeve, handed them to the ghost-faced woman, and said:

"You can go down now."

Wait for the ghost-faced woman to leave and close the door.

Su Yuan turned around, raised his chin to the crowd, and said slowly:

"If you can't hold on any longer, sit on the carpet. We'll be leaving soon. You can have a good rest when we get back home."

After that, she casually glanced at the guards standing in two rows, and finally stopped at the pretty girl's face and said:

"From now on, you will be called Su Qingyi, and the rest of you will all be named Su. From left to right, you will be named in the order of blue, purple, and green, from one to eight. The extra one will be ninety. In two days, your household registration will be completed. You will be the servants I bought from the Human Market. Do you remember all this?"

When the guards heard that they were going to have a household registration, they nodded excitedly, changed their addresses to "Master Su Yuan" and expressed their gratitude.

Guards were arranged.

Su Yuan turned around, walked back to the rosewood low table leisurely, sat down, looked at Ji Shian and smiled:

"Sister Shi'an, do you have any horse-drawn carriages or ox-drawn carts? It's already dark now, and the guards are seriously injured. I'm afraid I'll have to borrow a few carriages from you."

Ji Shian put down the teacup in his hand and said jokingly:

"You're always ordering me around. I haven't even warmed up the papers in my arms yet, and now you're here to borrow my car!"

After that, she snorted and laughed, and replied lazily:

"But since you call me sister, I will lend it to you."

Outside, the night was growing darker.

After Su Yuan borrowed a car from Ji Shian, she waved goodbye to Ji Qiubai and Ji Shian, who were looking at her reluctantly.

He took a carriage back to the Su Mansion with a group of guards. After instructing the butler to call a doctor for them and arranging the people, he left and returned to the main house.

In late autumn, there is a cool breeze.

The rich sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance brought by the autumn wind filled the entire courtyard. At the stone table under the osmanthus tree, Su Yuan was drinking with Ji Shian, who had delivered his household registration.

Ji Shian picked up the wine jar with both hands and poured a bowl of wine for Su Yuan. He pointed his chin at the ground and said:

"Come here, Sister Yuan, this is the finest osmanthus wine that I have collected. It is really a special pleasure to drink it under the osmanthus tree.

It is already late autumn, if we don’t drink now we will have to wait until next year, so I brought five large jars of osmanthus wine, let’s not go home until we are drunk today.”

She picked up the bowl and took a big gulp of wine, wiped her lips with her sleeve, and asked casually:

"Is this yard where you live?"

Su Yuan felt the cool breeze on his face and smelled the sweet scent of osmanthus, and was in a good mood.

Following Ji Shian's instructions, he clinked his bowl with hers, raised his head and drank it all, chuckling:

"No, Yunlan was shocked when she saw you asking the servants to bring in five large jars of wine, so she specially prepared a yard for you, saying that if you get drunk, you can sleep here."

Upon hearing this, Ji Shian chuckled twice and lowered his eyes to quickly hide the guilty feeling in his eyes.

He poured a large bowl of strong wine for Su Yuan, raised his hand and said:

"Erlangjun is really thoughtful. Since he has prepared a place to stay, I don't have to worry about it. Come, let's drink. We won't go home until we are drunk tonight."

After that, she turned her head, waved her hand at the attendant standing beside her, and said:

"Chun Tang, go back to the palace and tell them that I will stay at the Su Mansion tonight and will not go back. As for the rest of you, please leave. Standing aside is a nuisance."

The slaves standing by responded "yes" and retreated as instructed.

Su Yuan smiled faintly, picked up the bowl of wine that Ji Shian had just added, put it to his lips and drank it all.

The sun sets.

The earth was bathed in the colorful clouds of the afterglow, and the warm yellow sky darkened as the number of wine jars under the tree gradually decreased.

On the stone table.

Ji Shian and Su Yuan finished five large jars of wine and were both drunk and unconscious.

There was a "thump" sound, and a person slid down from the table. A woman's muffled groan followed by a snoring sound was heard as the heavy object fell to the ground.

Su Yuan was lying on the table. Perhaps he was woken up by the cool breeze, or maybe he was startled by the loud sound of something hitting the ground, which brought him back to his senses.

She leaned her body, and her usually cold and clear eyes became hazy and vague, like a pool of invisible deep spring water that was impossible to see through.

Su Yuan vaguely remembered telling Meng Yunlan that he would go back to his room to accompany others after drinking.

With a dazed look in her eyes and reeking of alcohol, she stood up, unsteadily opened the door and walked in.

Listen to Lanyuan.

Ji Qiubai and Meng Yunlan chatted for the whole afternoon and they also had dinner together. Seeing that it was getting dark, Ji Shian did not allow anyone to come to see him.

I felt a little anxious.

Ji Shian is coming to the Su Mansion today to deliver the household registration that has just been processed by the government to Su Yuan.

He was moved when he heard it.

In recent days, my mother has brought up the topic of marriage again.

Seeing Su Yuan's attitude towards him change.

But she is usually quiet and aloof, and never takes the initiative to show kindness to me.

He couldn't make up his mind for a moment, so he thought of asking Ji Shian to get Su Yuan drunk.

——What a cliché.

If Su Yuan also likes him.

Then he would express his feelings to his mother, and then he could marry his sweetheart naturally.

If Su Yuan had no interest in him.

Then I will try harder to win her heart.

Otherwise, if I rashly tell my mother that I like Su Yuan, and then my mother ignores Su Yuan's wishes and forces her lover to marry him, wouldn't that make Su Yuan hate me even more?

But it was already afternoon and dark, and Ji Shian still hadn't sent his servants to call him as agreed.

Could something have happened?

Or did she forget?

Thinking of this, Ji Qiubai could no longer sit still and stood up to say goodbye to Meng Yunlan:

"Mr. Meng, it's getting dark now, I won't bother you here anymore. I'll go to Guixiang Garden to tell my sister and then go back to the palace."

Meng Yunlan stood up and glanced at the dark sky outside, saying in a worried tone:

"Master Ji, how about I see you off? My wife and Lady Ji will probably stay at Guixiang Garden tonight. There's nothing wrong with these two grown women, but I'm afraid I'll bump into you."

Ji Qiubai waved his hand nonchalantly, raised his chin slightly and pointed at Leshan and Fuyun, and said with a faint smile:

"No need. She's my sister after all. Why would I bother to bump into her? Besides, my two personal attendants are very skilled and can knock Ji Shian down with one punch. It's good that she's not afraid of me."
