Chapter 168: Can you really be brother and sister for life like this?
The lights in the opera house are as bright as day.
Xie Shian is the protagonist today. The young man is wearing a goose yellow round-necked brocade robe with a floral pattern, a purple gold crown in his hair, and cloud-digging boots on his feet. He is surrounded by several of his good brothers, and he looks extremely handsome and energetic.
On the stage, people were singing songs and young boys and girls were drinking and chatting. Because there were no elders present, the atmosphere was particularly relaxed and cheerful. People were playing rock-paper-scissors and drinking games everywhere. Even the girls who were usually confined by rules and etiquette were having a great time.
When Xie Guanlan came over, he saw that there were men and women at Wen Xingluo's table, eating, drinking and laughing, which was very inappropriate.
He stood behind the curtain with his hands behind his back and an expressionless face.
At this time, Wen Xingluo was playing drinking games with the people at the same table.
Xie Shian shouted, "I'm the birthday boy, I'll go first!"
He meditated for a moment and said, "Dark clouds press down on the city, threatening to destroy it. Armor shines brightly towards the sun, revealing golden scales!"
"Open..." The young man in pink clothes and a flower in his hair on his left twirled his fingers, "Open the door. If my lover doesn't come, I'll go out and pick red lotus flowers."
His tone was so coy that everyone at the table burst into laughter.
The expression on Xie Guanlan's face became even uglier.
Xie Shian hangs out with these unruly people all day long, and even leads Wen Ningning astray!
Fushan glanced at him and sighed in his heart.
He said that his master was not suitable for this kind of occasion, but his master insisted on coming.
You're really asking for trouble.
"Lian... I pity you and sing a sad song every time I see you. I grow old year after year without knowing why."
"When, when will we cut the candle in the west window together and talk about the night rain in Bashan?"
"hour--"
When it was Chen Lezhi's turn, she was speechless.
After a while, she thought she was unlucky and said, "I can't answer it, I have to drink!"
Immediately, a maid brought a large bowl full of liquor.
Chen Lezhi was quite generous and drank it all immediately.
After a few rounds, most of the people at the table were eliminated, leaving only a few with good knowledge.
One person said: "The Moon Lord sent the Sky River, who can sigh at the Star Bridge?"
It was Wen Xingluo's turn.
"Can……"
She had just drunk some fruit wine and was unable to concentrate because of the atmosphere in the building. She couldn't think of anything for a while.
"Ningning, think about it quickly, otherwise you will be punished by drinking!" Chen Lezhi was half drunk and urged anxiously.
Xie Shian drank the most, but he still insisted on standing up, stumbling and pointing at everyone, "I'm not bragging, my sister's talent is amazing, you... you can't compare to her!"
Wen Xingluo was amused by them.
The incense burner next to her was very warm. She was drunk and her cheeks were flushed. She clearly remembered that she had read many poems that began with the word "可", but now she could not remember any of them.
The second son of the Song family laughed heartily. "Sister Wen, if you can't come up with an answer, you'll have to drink a penalty drink! I'll count to three, three, two—"
Wen Xingluo's breathing became rapid.
But the more anxious I was, the harder it was to figure it out.
Seeing that the man had counted to "one", she was about to accept the punishment, but suddenly a low and cold voice came from behind her, "Poor bones by the Wuding River, still the person in the spring girl's dream."
The second young master of the Song family immediately shouted in dissatisfaction, "No, no, no, no cheating! We must insist on fairness and justice when playing drinking games. No one is allowed to help Sister Wen!"
The person next to him tugged at his sleeve and said, "Why don't you check out who he is before you speak?"
"I don't care who he is—"
The second young master of the Song family was halfway through his words when he felt someone was staring at him, and he felt a chill all over his body.
This familiar feeling was just like the one that night in Huamanlou when his elder brother beat him up, and he felt so satisfied that he had nowhere to escape.
He couldn't help but look up.
A dignified and noble young man in red clothes and jade belt appeared behind Wen Xingluo.
He was born with a gorgeous appearance, but his eyebrows and eyes were as distant and cold as the dry mountains and cold water. He just looked at him with a smile.
His falling shadow almost completely enveloped Wen Xingluo.
It was as if a ferocious beast was guarding the delicate flowers he had planted himself.
Their eyes met.
The second young master of the Song family slowly stood up, looking particularly honest and clear, "Shi, Prince."
Xie Guanlan curled his thin lips and asked, "What did Second Young Master Song just say?"
"No, nothing."
"Sit down."
"yes……"
The second young master of the Song family sat down slowly, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, sitting upright.
Everyone at the table fell silent, and subconsciously followed his lead and sat up straight.
Even Xie Shian and Chen Lezhi sat upright.
Wen Xingluo didn't dare to look back, but she felt a slender hand slowly falling on her shoulder, followed by a hot and scrutinizing gaze descending from above, from her cheek, moving inch by inch to her earlobe, and slowly falling on her neck.
Xie Guanlan lowered his eyes and looked at her.
She drank.
Her skin was as white as jade, with a bright and intoxicating blush like rouge, just like the peach blossom jade he once gave her, but even hotter than jade.
And she was dressed beautifully tonight.
She mingled with both men and women, letting them all look at her.
His palm tightened little by little, causing Wen Xingluo's shoulder to hurt.
She said weakly, "Brother..."
Xie Guanlan let go of his hand, his smiling tone concealing danger, "Ningning, are you having fun?"
Wen Xingluo had a lot of fun.
But she clearly sensed the young man's unhappiness, so she said obediently: "It's fun, and it's even funnier now that my eldest brother is here."
Chen Lezhi looked at her in shock.
Her daughter Ningning looks so well-behaved, but she didn't expect that she is so good at coaxing people.
No wonder he could have Xie Guanlan under his control!
Xie Shian was completely unaware of the unusual feelings surging between the two of them, and just secretly gave Wen Xingluo a thumbs up.
As expected of Xie Si's sister, she is on his side after all. The reason why she flatters her elder brother with sweet words is to prevent him from ruining his birthday party!
Ningning has good intentions for him!
After Xie Guanlan sat down, a servant suddenly came up to report, "Princess, a young couple came outside. They said they were your sister and brother-in-law. They wanted to come up and celebrate the Fourth Young Master's birthday."
Chen Lezhi was surprised, "My sister and brother-in-law?!"
She only has one sister, and she is still pretending to be a man.
I do have a few concubines, but they are all in Hanzhong County. How could they suddenly run to Rongcheng?
She couldn't figure it out, so she asked Xie Shian, "Did you invite them to celebrate your birthday?"
"Come on."
Xie Shian loves the hustle and bustle and is fearless. Not to mention Chen Lezhi's sister and brother-in-law, even those guys from the Wen family, as long as they dare to come, he would let them in.
Wen Xingluo lowered his eyes and smiled. Just as he was about to pick up the hot wine and take a sip, he found that the hot wine in front of him had been replaced with tea at some point.
She looked at Xie Guanlan.
The young man's narrow eyes were cold and deep, as if warning her to try drinking.
And he sat here, sitting next to her, making others afraid to get close to her.
Wen Xingluo withdrew his gaze, stroking the teacup calmly, and said in a very soft voice, "Can you really be brother and sister for life like this? Eldest brother?"
