Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Warm, soft, moist and fragrant.
Duan Zhenghong and Yi Kangning walked out of the door together. Duan Zhenghong couldn't make up his mind and discussed with Yi Kangning, "Which beauty in my family do you think is suitable?"
Duan Zhenghong's mansion was filled with beauties, and even Yi Kangning hadn't seen them all. This question stumped Yi Kangning. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Zhu Song has mostly met dignified and quiet ladies from wealthy families in the capital. Seeing them so often doesn't make them new to him. Let's get him something new."
Duan Zhenghong understood, "Okay, I chose the one with the most charming figure."
Yi Kangning was about to nod, but then he felt that the stakes could be raised, so he said, "One isn't strong enough. Prepare a few more. Even a hard pounce would have knocked him down."
Speaking of the hard rush, Duan Zhenghong became worried again, "What if Zhu Song doesn't fall for it? What if he realizes something's wrong and doesn't go in? We can't just force him in."
This worry was justified. After the two pondered for a while, Yi Kangning said, "If he can remain rational when sober, then let him get drunk."
Duan Zhenghong asked, "But Zhu Song hasn't touched a drop of alcohol since he came here. How can we get him to drink?"
So the two of them muttered for a while, and Yi Kangning suddenly slapped his thigh, having a great idea, "He doesn't drink or eat?"
Duan Zhenghong followed his train of thought and thought, "You mean putting wine in the food? Would that still be useful?"
The perfectly good idea was gone in an instant, as the wine would be tasted immediately after it was added to the food, and eating too little would not achieve the effect they wanted.
Seeing that Zhu Song was about to come back, they thought that any delay would waste the evening, so the two of them divided the work. Duan Zhenghong went back to prepare the beauty, while Yi Kangning tried to find a way to deal with Zhu Song.
Yi Kangning had no good idea for the time being, so he went to the kitchen. The kitchen had been busy all day and was still cooking. Yi Kangning looked at the food in the pot that was so light that it seemed to have no salt, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he had another great idea.
Zhu Song came back late today. It was already midnight when he got back to the governor's office. He was so hungry because he hadn't eaten dinner. He ordered food as soon as he got back.
As Zhu Song entered the room, he smelled a strange fragrance. He asked, "What's that smell?"
The yamen runner at the door replied, "Oh, it's for fumigating water moths."
As soon as there is a heavy rain, water moths emerge from the ground. They don’t bite people but they are very annoying. It’s time to fumigate them.
The kitchen has been preparing meals at any time these days. Zhu Song didn't even have time to drink water when the food came up. It was faster than usual.
As soon as the food came in, Zhu Song smelled a salty aroma with the spicy aroma of chili peppers. After eating bland food for several days, Zhu Song felt it was very refreshing. "Is Sichuan cuisine being served today?"
The servant who served the food replied, "Your Excellency, the head chef said that after eating the bland soup for several days, it's time to change the taste. If you don't like it, please tell him."
Zhu Song stopped him, "No, no, I'm used to it."
Although Zhu Song was an imperial envoy, his current situation was special. He only had three dishes for each meal: stir-fried shredded potatoes, mapo tofu, and stir-fried pork with chili peppers. Zhu Song himself didn't have much of a taste for food, but he had been eating too lightly these past few days. Now, seeing these spicy and fragrant dishes, his mouth was watering.
Zhu Song was extremely hungry and took a big mouthful of Mapo Tofu. However, as soon as the dish entered his mouth, his tongue felt like it was on fire and it hurt so much that he couldn't even wait to pour water. He just grabbed the kettle and took a big gulp. The pungent smell of the wine made his throat sore. Zhu Song wanted to curse but his mouth was so painful that he couldn't speak. He stood up to find some water and felt a little dizzy, but Zhu Song could drink quite well and could still stand. He saw a teapot and a cup on the small couch next to him. He went over and picked them up. There was water. Zhu Song took another big gulp, but it turned out to be white wine.
Zhu Song was really cursing now. He cursed in his heart but didn't have time to speak. He wanted to call for help, "Come, bring some water."
As soon as he finished speaking, the yamen runner outside the door came in with a teapot, "Here I am, sir."
Zhu Song didn't suspect anything and took a sip. It turned out to be wine. He frowned and wanted to get angry, but the yamen runner got there first. He said, "Sir, this is the rice wine I brewed at home. It has no alcohol content and tastes like water."
Zhu Song was angry but couldn't vent his anger because the one person in front of him had turned into seven or eight people, and for a moment he didn't know who to point at and scold.
At this moment, Yi Kangning happened to pass by and peeked in with a smile. Seeing Zhu Song's appearance, he was extremely surprised and said, "Oh, what's wrong with Master Zhu? Why is your face so red? Are you sick?"
The yamen runner replied, "Master Zhu can't eat spicy food and wants to drink water, so I gave Master Zhu the rice wine my mother stuffed in his mouth as a last resort, but Master Zhu doesn't seem to be very good at drinking rice wine."
Yi Kangning scolded the yamen runner considerately, "Don't you know that Master Zhu can't drink?"
The yamen runner quietly defended himself, "Home-brewed rice wine is just like water, it has no alcohol content."
Yi Kangning poked his head and said unhappily, "Go down, don't do this again next time."
The yamen runner responded and left quickly. Yi Kangning stepped forward to help Zhu Song, "Master Zhu, let me take you back to your room."
Originally, Zhu Song just felt something was wrong, but ever since Yi Kangning showed up, he knew it was a setup by this old man, so he pushed him away without hesitation, "What on earth do you want to do?"
Yi Kangning's face was full of grievances, and he almost cried, "Master Zhu, what can I do? I'm just worried about you. You are our backbone now, and you must not make any mistakes."
Zhu Songcai didn't believe him, "I'm going out for a walk, don't follow me."
Everything was ready, so how could Yi Kangning let Zhu Song, the favorable wind, go away? He grabbed him firmly and said, "Master Zhu, you are drunk. I will take you back to your room."
Originally, Zhu Song was fine except for feeling a little dizzy, but after being hugged like this, his body suddenly began to heat up. Zhu Song had worked in the Dali Temple for many years and was familiar with these tricks. He suddenly pushed Yi Kangning away and scolded him harshly, "Yi Kangning, if you touch me again, don't blame me for being rude."
Yi Kangning's face turned green when he heard his words, "I'm just worried about you."
Zhu Song had been carrying a sword with him these days. He had taken it out and placed it on the stool when he entered the room. When Yi Kangning rushed over again, Zhu Song turned around, took the sword from the stool, held it across his body, and shouted coldly, "Stop your evil thoughts and go away."
Yi Kangning considered the possibility that Zhu Song would really dare to chop him. Although he felt that the possibility was small, he still didn't dare to take the risk. So he took a step back, put his hands forward in a defensive posture, and spoke nicely, "Master Zhu, I really didn't do anything. I was just worried about you. Don't be impulsive. It would be bad if you hurt yourself."
Zhu Song dodged him and walked straight out. Yi Kangning quickly followed him. Zhu Song turned around to look at him and shouted coldly, "Don't follow me."
Yi Kangning was not afraid of the verbal threats at all, but when Zhu Song waved his sword, he became afraid again and did not dare to follow too closely. He could only follow from a distance.
Zhu Song didn't dare to go back to his room, so he thought of looking for Zhu Lingye. However, he was drunk and felt dizzy. He also had a strange feeling that was hard to ignore. It made him feel very uncomfortable and he just wanted to feel better quickly.
Zhu Song felt dizzy and walked by instinct. He felt that he had reached Zhu Lingye's room. He pushed the door open and went in. The room was pitch black without any light. But Zhu Song thought it was Zhu Lingye's room and didn't pay much attention to it. He cursed as soon as he entered the room, "That bastard Yi Kangning, he actually did some evil things. Damn it, I will kill him sooner or later..."
Meanwhile, Duan Zhenghong, who had been waiting for Zhu Song for a long time, came over. Seeing Yi Kangning squatting furtively in the corridor, he went over to squat with him and asked in a low voice, "What are you looking at?"
The sudden voice startled Yi Kangning. He turned around and saw that it was Duan Zhenghong, then he felt relieved. He lowered his voice and said to him, "Zhu Song has gone in."
Duan Zhenghong followed his gaze and frowned slightly, "Isn't that an empty room?"
Yi Kangning hadn't told him about this yet, but it wasn't too late to tell him now. "No, there is someone."
Duan Zhenghong followed up on his words and asked, "Who is it?"
Yi Kangning said, "On the day Zhu Song first arrived, he went to inspect outside the city and met a beautiful woman. I saw that Zhu Song seemed to like her very much, so I secretly had someone bring her back."
Duan Zhenghong was unhappy when he heard this. "Fuck, you have a beauty but you don't bring her out. I've taken out all my concubines from the bottom of my box. I'm so heartbroken."
Yi Kangning said perfunctorily: "Don't feel bad, that person is a man, he can't compare to your most beautiful concubine."
When he heard it was a man, Duan Zhenghong's eyes widened instantly, "I didn't expect Zhu Song to be so extravagant."
"I didn't expect that either," Yi Kangning said casually, but when he realized the topic had gone off track, he quickly pulled it back, "Oh, no, that man isn't one of ours. Besides, men can't be used sustainably."
Duan Zhenghong frowned and asked, "What do you mean by sustainable?"
Yi Kangning looked at him with some anger. His family already had dozens of concubines, yet he didn't know this. "Women can give birth to children. If he doesn't obey us, we can use the children to control him. Even if Zhu Song, the old bachelor, doesn't recognize the child, the Zhu family will definitely recognize it. Then, won't the Zhu family be completely under our control?"
"You're still the best." Duan Zhenghong couldn't help but give a thumbs up. "I'm already prepared over there. Now how do we get the person over there?"
Yi Kangning said: "Let's go and take a look first."
The two crouched down and tiptoed over, sticking to the window and looking inside through the crack. It was pitch black and they shouldn't be able to see anything, but Zhu Song was about to move. Not only did he curse, he also walked back and forth and cursed, so the two could see him.
"That idiot Yi Kangning actually used dirty tricks on me. I must kill him, kill him..."
Zhu Song's voice was so loud that the two of them could hear it clearly. Duan Zhenghong looked at Yi Kangning and whispered in his ear, "He's going to kill you."
"And that stupid Duan Zhenghong, I'm going to chop him to death, chop him to death..."
Yi Kangning won back a game and leaned over to whisper in Duan Zhenghong's ear: "Same to you."
Duan Zhenghong rolled his eyes at him and asked, "Where is the man you were talking about?"
The two of them pried open the window and looked for a long time before they saw the man sitting on the chair. Because it was too dark, they could only make out a rough outline. He had his hands on his chin and was looking in the direction of Zhu Song. He neither moved nor spoke, just looking like that, as if he was asleep, but from his movements, it was certain that he was definitely not asleep.
The two squatted until their feet were numb, then sat down on the ground together. They huddled together to discuss the next steps. Duan Zhenghong said, "How about I just go in and carry the person out now?"
Yi Kangning thought this was a very good idea, so he nodded. Duan Zhenghong immediately stood up when he saw this. Yi Kangning grabbed his sleeve again and whispered to him, "Just bear with the pain and don't scream too loudly."
Duan Zhenghong didn't understand what he meant. He looked down at him suspiciously and asked, "Huh?"
Yi Kangning explained: "He has a sword in his hand."
Upon hearing this, Duan Zhenghong sat down again. It turned out that Zhu Song was not just talking about wanting to chop him down.
The two of them were standing in the corridor, feeling the cold wind. They had been listening to Zhu Song cursing for half the night, their heads feeling dizzy. Yi Kangning couldn't help but sneeze. Just as he finished, he heard Zhu Song ask cautiously, "Who's there?"
The sound startled the two men, and they quickly stood up and ran. Their feet were numb from sitting cross-legged for too long, and they ran in strange ways.
Zhu Song opened the window and looked over, only to see two strange silhouettes. He muttered suspiciously, "Has the tree branch become a spirit?"
The window opened, and a little light came into the room. Zhu Song turned around and saw Wen Fengxuan leaning on the table. He was startled and slapped his face hard, "Fuck, this is hallucination, Zhu Lingye has turned into Wen Fengxuan."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Fengxuan opened his eyes and looked at him, and asked, "Are you still scolding me?"
Zhu Song blinked, "Why did the voice change too?"
Wen Fengxuan ignored the drunkard, yawned lightly, and got up to go to bed. Zhu Song followed him, watched him lie down on the bed, and said to him: "Second brother, go in a little and make room for me. I will sleep next to you tonight."
Wen Fengxuan looked up at him. Not only did he not show any intention of moving, he rejected him without hesitation, "No."
"You little brat, just watch your brother make a fool of himself. Go to bed." Zhu Song didn't take his words seriously at all. He got on the bed without saying a word and squeezed the person in with all his strength.
Wen Fengxuan was not as strong as him, and was squeezed by him and slid inside. Zhu Song's body felt as hot as if it was on fire. Wen Fengxuan quickly moved to the side, staying as far away from Zhu Song as possible.
Zhu Song was very satisfied when he saw this, "That's right, this is what a younger brother should be like."
As soon as Zhu Song finished speaking, he saw Zhu Lingye sitting up. Zhu Song asked him, "What's wrong with you?"
"You're hot."
Zhu Song replied, "Yes, they drugged me. I came here because you are my biological brother."
Wen Fengxuan stood up and walked outside, but Zhu Song stopped him and asked, "Where are you going?"
Wen Fengxuan replied: "I'm worried."
Zhu Song cursed angrily: "Bullshit."
Wen Fengxuan stopped talking, broke free from his hand and got off the bed. Zhu Song, who was not trusted, was very angry at this time, and pulled him back with great force. Unexpectedly, Wen Fengxuan could not help but fall towards him without standing firmly, and the two of them came to a mouth-to-mouth fight.
Warm, soft, moist and fragrant.
Zhu Song saw his own wide-open eyes in the big eyes that were so close to him.
