Chapter 69 The fragrance of Li flowers



Jing Zhe came to get Lu Li drunk, but before he could even think of a reason, Lu Li delivered herself to his door, much to his delight.

Lu Li quickly found two bowls. Last time, Jing Zhe brought back too many sheep, and the leftovers had been pickled into dried mutton and stored away. Now it was a good time to bring some out as a snack with drinks.

"Big sister, this is indeed the strong liquor I made. I didn't have time to come back last time, and Fatty and the others can drink too much, so I didn't let you taste it."

Jing Zhe poured Lu Li a full bowl and continued, "This wine costs five hundred coins a bowl! But since you're drinking with such a beautiful woman like me, even one tael of silver a bowl isn't too much!"

For Jing Zhe, sweet talk was no problem. Before getting her drunk, he would first say "the wine doesn't intoxicate, but the person does," and then he could achieve twice the result with half the effort!

Lu Li blushed a little at his words. Seeing this, Jing Zhe secretly cheered. To prevent Lu Li from refusing to drink later, he immediately added, "Tonight, we're going to drink until we drop. Whoever doesn't drink is a dog!"

Lu Li showed no fear. She reached for the wine bowl, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Good wine!"

After finishing her drink, she wiped away the drops of wine that had trickled down her chin and down her neck, perfectly capturing the image of a "heroine with a bold and unrestrained spirit."

Jing Zhe was staring blankly for a moment, but Lu Li nudged him with a blush and asked, "What are you looking at?" He then snapped out of his daze, clapped his hands, and said, "Big sister really knows how to drink! Come on, let's have another drink!"

As he spoke, he poured Lu Li another full glass.

This time, however, Lu Li was not so forthright. She didn't touch the bowl with her hand, but stared intently at him, pursing her lips and remaining silent.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Why aren't you drinking?"

Jing Zhe asked, puzzled.

Lu Li pointed to the untouched wine bowl, the meaning of which was self-evident.

How can you offer someone a toast and then refuse to drink it yourself?

If you encounter a hot-tempered man, you might start a fight on the spot!

"Oh dear, I was so focused on toasting my sister that I forgot about myself! I'll drink it right away!"

After Jing Zhe finished speaking, he imitated Lu Li's hearty manner and tilted his head back to drink it all in one gulp.

hot!

After drinking it, Jing Zhe felt a burning sensation from his throat to his stomach. The liquor was indeed strong, and Jing Zhe's previous judgment had been wrong.

In his past life, he had a really good alcohol tolerance, earning him the nickname "one jin without getting drunk, two jin just right," but his current body can't handle it!

After downing a bowl of strong liquor, I felt hot all over and my head was spinning.

"Great, let's do it again!"

Seeing this, Lu Li grabbed the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

"..."

Jing Zhe was stunned.

He had planned to get Lu Li drunk, but judging from the current situation, he was no match for her at all!

So I can't drink this wine, I have to find some excuse.

"Big sister..."

"Don't talk, drink!"

"that…"

"hurry up!"

Lu Li pushed the wine bowl in front of Jing Zhe with great dissatisfaction. Judging from her impatient appearance, it seemed that she would force him to drink if he didn't drink.

Jing Zhe dared not court death. With a determined heart, he gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, grabbed the wine bowl, and gulped it down.

"Okay, let's do it again!"

Lu Li was about to pour more wine when Jing Zhe, quick-witted and agile, stopped her, waving his hands and begging for mercy.

"I'm not coming, I'm not coming, I can't come!"

"Um?"

A blush crept onto Lu Li's cheeks, but her eyes remained bright and alert: "Just now you said whoever doesn't drink is a dog!"

"Woof woof woof!"

"..."

...

When Jing Zhe woke up, he felt his throat was dry and his head was throbbing, as if it had exploded.

Damn it, fake alcohol is harmful!

No, it's homemade, how could it be fake alcohol?

It's all because the original owner's body was too weak; he couldn't even handle two bowls of strong liquor. In his time, he would have been eliminated in one round of drinking.

Jing Zhe felt somewhat annoyed at missing such a good opportunity last night.

After downing his second bowl of strong liquor last night, Jing Zhe lost consciousness and became completely disoriented, at the mercy of others. He seemed to have touched a soft body, helped him onto the bed, and whispered in his ear, but he had no idea what was said or done.

Oops!

Jing Zhe gasped inwardly, then lifted the blanket; everything was perfectly fine.

Really?

He then pulled up his pants and finally confirmed that it was perfectly safe.

I breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a little regretful.

When he stood up after pulling up his pants, he froze instantly.

Because Lu Li was sitting in the room, staring straight at him, there was no doubt that Lu Li had seen all of his crazy actions.

I regret it!

Jing Zhe felt bitter inside, but he still forced a smile.

"Big sister, it's not what you see!"

What do I see?

Lu Li asked.

"that is…"

Jing Zhe was speechless for a moment, and after a long while, he said, "It's really not what you think!"

Do you know what I'm thinking?

Lu Li tilted her head, displaying a very feminine demeanor.

"Well... never mind!"

Jing Zhe shook his head and rummaged through his clothes. "I'm not pretending anymore. I'll come clean. Actually, I have something to give to my older sister. I was looking for it as soon as I woke up!"

Next, Jing Zhe took out a small porcelain bottle containing perfume, instantly easing the slightly awkward atmosphere.

"What's this?"

Lu Li picked up the porcelain bottle, examined it for a while but couldn't figure it out, so she asked curiously.

"perfume!"

"perfume?"

Lu Li picked up the bottle and smelled it. It did indeed have a faint, refreshing fragrance, which she had never encountered before and found novel.

"Speaking of this thing, it's really amazing."

Jing Zhe said arrogantly, "This perfume is made from strong liquor and flower petals through a series of complex processes. Not only is it complicated to make, but it's also very expensive! If it were for sale, this small bottle would cost at least ten taels of silver!"

Lu Li wasn't interested in the price, and simply gave a curt "Oh".

Jing Zhe added, "Moreover, this perfume is one of a kind in the whole world! It was custom-made for my eldest sister, and the flower used is pear blossom, which sounds the same as her name, so I named it Li (Pear Blossom) Fragrance!"

"The fragrance of Li flowers?"

As Lu Li muttered something, her eyes curved into crescents, and her usually calm face instantly blossomed into a radiant smile.

"I like this name!"
