Chapter 272 Yangchun Noodles
Su Nuobai took it with a smile, raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"I didn't expect that Lord Su is so good at metaphysics and can drink so much." Yan Xiangyang said with a smile.
This set a precedent and many officials and their wives came up to toast.
Su Nuobai inadvertently helped Qi Yuanshi block a lot of alcohol, and some people came to get close to him.
I was afraid before because I had something to hide, but now I think it’s good to know a powerful master. If I encounter any problems in the future, I will have someone to ask for help.
Lu Heyu watched her drink one cup after another, and his brows couldn't help but frown.
He gently pulled her sleeve: "If you don't want to drink, don't drink. My body is not good enough to help you block the wine."
"It's okay." When Su Nuobai drinks, it's either she wants to get drunk or she doesn't want to get drunk.
Qi Yu quickly stepped forward to help block some of the noise for her: "You guys are going too far! Lord Su came to the banquet and he hasn't even eaten a single bite of food yet."
"You're asking me to be reported to the Censor tomorrow for poor hospitality!"
"Lord Qi, I have no such plan." Censor Tang smiled and stroked his beard.
The imperial censors nearby also laughed and agreed: "That's right. But please don't bully Lady Su because she's a woman. At least let her eat."
"It would be inappropriate for people to come here for a feast and then go back hungry."
Those who came up to toast then left with a smile: "Master Su, please eat first."
Su Nuobai sat back on the stool.
Lu Heyu poured her a cup of tea: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Su Nuobai picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Lu Heyu sat next to her and could smell the faint scent of alcohol mixed with the fragrance of flowers on her.
"Sir Su, I'm sorry. I didn't expect them to come and toast you today." Qi Yu said apologetically.
Su Nuobai waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm helping the young master block the wine."
"Thank you." Qi Yu bowed to her.
Mrs. Qi looked at her with a blushing face and asked, "Do you want to go to the guest room and rest for a while?"
"No, I'm just hungry." Su Nuobai said as he picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Lu Heyu picked up some delicious dishes for her and said, "The chef that Lord Qi hired today is very skilled."
"It's really good." Su Nuobai took a few bites and still felt that it tasted very good.
After the banquet, Su Nuobai got on the carriage and sat opposite Lu Heyu.
The carriage was very small and filled with a faint aroma of wine.
Su Nuobai leaned back in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.
The carriage bumped halfway along the road, causing her to fall to the side unconsciously.
Lu Heyu quickly supported her to prevent her from hitting her head.
Seeing that she was a little drunk, he moved to sit next to her and let her lean on his shoulder: "This will make you more comfortable."
Su Nuobai did not refuse, leaned on his shoulder and closed her eyes.
She could hear Lu Heyu's heart beating fast, and she knew he hadn't drunk any alcohol today.
"Lu Heyu."
"Yeah." Lu Heyu turned his head and looked at her with her eyes closed. For some reason, he felt relieved.
"If you are still alive next year, live well." Su Nuobai said lightly.
"Okay." Lu Heyu responded gently.
Su Nuobai stopped talking and his breathing gradually became steady.
When they got home, they got off the carriage and went back to their rooms without any further communication.
Lu Heyu stood by the window and looked at the yard not far away: "Master, why do I feel that Miss Su is worried?"
"We all know it, but when she doesn't want to say it, who can know it?" Lu Heyu smiled bitterly.
Su Nuobai returned to the room and started practicing, no longer feeling drunk at all.
The next day, he appeared at the street stall still feeling refreshed.
"Master Su, you're up very early today!" Uncle Jia greeted her with a smile.
"It's good to go to bed early and get up early." Su Nuobai looked at him with a smile.
The man sat down opposite her and said, "Master Su, I want to see if I have encountered any dirty things."
Su Nuobai looked at him and saw that he had some yin energy, but it was not serious. "What happened?"
Mao Kai: "I used to set up shop at the morning market, but business wasn't very good, so I switched to the evening market. It's strange, but I didn't hear any noise when I set up shop during the day."
"But I heard the strange noise now that I'm at the evening market. My stall is still at the morning market and hasn't changed."
Su Nuobai: "What sound did you hear?"
"I could always hear the sound of people buying plain noodles from my seat near the wall. At first I thought someone was selling plain noodles next to me."
"I even asked the owner of the stall next to me, your plain noodles are selling really well!"
"But he said he had never sold plain noodles before. I wondered if there was a stall behind the wall, so one day I asked the owner next door to check for me."
"I ran behind the wall to take a look, but there was nothing there. I felt something was wrong and thought I might have touched something dirty."
"Master Su, I have never done anything bad, and I do business in an honest way." Mao Kai was afraid that others would say that he had done too many bad things.
Su Nuobai looked at him and asked, "Were you silent when you set up shop during the day?"
"Hmm, hmm, there is no sound at all. I don't know if it's because the yang energy is strong during the day, so it's okay." Mao Kai scratched his head.
Su Nuobai asked him about the location of his stall and figured out what was going on after counting on his fingers.
"Your stall is laying on the foundation of a soup kitchen long ago, and ghosts will come there at night with banknotes to buy food."
"Ah! Then, where should I set up my stall?" Mao Kai was so scared that his face turned pale.
"I'll send them away later and everything will be fine." Su Nuobai asked him to relax.
"Thank you, Master Su, thank you, Master Su." Mao Kai bought three buns and handed them to Su Nuobai.
Before Su Nuobai had the time to chat with Uncle Jia and the others, a woman stumbled over and knelt on the ground.
Her hair was disheveled and her face was full of fear. She looked as if she was frightened.
"Auntie, is something wrong with you?" asked Brother Zhou.
"Ghost, there is a ghost." Gui Mei looked panicked and excited, and her words were a little incoherent.
Su Nuobai raised his hand and injected spiritual power into her, allowing her to slowly calm down: "Are you okay?"
Gui Mei calmed down and looked at where she was, then looked at Su Nuobai: "Master Su, there is a ghost."
"Have you seen a ghost?" Su Nuobai didn't sense any evil energy from her.
"No." Gui Mei was a little anxious and didn't know what to say.
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly." Su Nuobai's voice made people feel at ease.
Gui Mei slowly calmed down: "I don't know where to start. She doesn't know how to start."
"Start with what you find strange." Su Nuobai looked at her and said.
